20 Insane Drink Orders That Made Baristas Need Their Own Cup of Coffee

If someone is ordering a “steamed orange juice,” rest assured that everything is not alright at home. There’s no way it could be. They’re searching for a kind of satisfaction at the bottom of that hot citrus that their personal life cannot provide. Maybe it’s not fair to psychoanalyze someone based on their drink order, but some requests are clear cries for help. 

To that end, Reddit’s most exhausted baristas have recalled the drink orders that should have been served up with a side of therapy, and apparently, people will put just about anything in a latte — even mayonnaise

sorgte . 4y I once had a customer ask for a extra caramel Frappuccino and to make him regret asking for so much caramel I put in 15 pumps each of the regular caramel sauce and dark caramel sauce as well as covering the entire inside of the cup in drizzle Не left the store and then came back in a few minutes later to tell me that was the best drink he's ever had ... 1.1k

not-jimmy 4y I don't know if anyone remembers, but for a hot minute Starbucks had a thing called Chantico, which was marketed as a drinking chocolate. It was basically a cup of melted chocolate, the consistency of thinned brownie batter, meant to be drunk in 4 oz cups exclusively. A woman came in and ordered a Grande. She miraculously survived and came back the next day and ordered a Venti. I still don't know how she choked it down. ... 767

DefNotUnderrated . 4y I had a guy hand me his own mug and I shit you not - ordered a vanilla late with 12 shots of espresso.
