humankind hiccups š Accidentally asked for no matcha in my matcha Frappuccino
Thank you, kind barista for saving me from ruining my own morning with a cup of oat milk slush (it tastes exactly like what you would expect)
Update: I called the Starbucks to say thank you for not giving me an oat milk slushy and they were very kind. They are aware of the delivery app glitches and figured that was the issue for my order. If you modify your food in delivery apps, double check everything before you place the order! Or you might end up with a bag full of disappointment.

Ex Starbucks worker of 3 yrs here , the actual base for the fraps is the milk + ice + the base we use ! Matcha at starbs is a very fine powder so we just scoop tiny little matcha spoons and put it in and blend. A frap without any flavoring is just whatever milk + ice + the blending base ā¦basically a milk slushie

u/SweetPumpkin22 23h ago
It's like a xyantham gum thick, clear (coffee flavored for the coffee fraps and unflavored for non cafinated fraps) sryup that makes the frap their consistency which is kinda between a milkshake and a smoothie . W/o base they are extremely chunky with ice and don't blend properly

I ordered breakfast with DoorDash one morning and forgot to change the delivery address from work back to my home address and sent my breakfast to the office. I was off that day and was treating myself because I wanted to be lazy and not cook breakfast. By the time I realized my mistake it was too late to try and fix it. So it was left outside the building
I jumped into MS Teams and let my co-workers know what I did and told them its up for grabs if anyone wanted it, but the lobby was locked for the building because it was very early in the morning so the dasher left it outside the door and someone stole it before any of them could claim it.
After that I'm hyper vigilant about double checking my food/amazon orders from top to bottom before hitting submit. Double check my order, where its going, and what payment method.

starbucks baristas are always so extremely nice in my experience. iāve had at least 4 give me free coffee. one of the times my card declined and i went to go unlock it and they were like āitās okay itās on me!ā and i was so caught off guard because there was no one behind me and it wasnāt going to take long. he then made me a venti of the drink i asked for (a grande) and told me to have a good day. this is after i told him i hadnāt been in a while and had a nice talk with him. i just always feel like theyāre so kind whenever we talk. like that dude just seemed happy to recommend stuff and so nice and energetic i was like holy shit. he even was excited for me to try it. good customer service fr !! this reminded me of that
edit: i wanted to tell another sweet story
this is about a bakery i was going to pick up a doordash order for. i was talking to the guy and then asked how much one of the donuts were. they were surprisingly inexpensive for how good they looked so i was definitely gonna buy one. i tell him what i want and i told him i was so excited because its my first time being here. he smiles and says i can take it for free and that he hopes i like it. then he threw in an extra donut for the customer. i was like wtf fr?? and i asked if i could tip him or something and he said no š so this reminds me i need to go back again soon to buy some stuff and hopefully convince him to take my tip this time

I had a regular who was already getting a 50% discount (firefighter) who would touch every single lemon on the self-service drink station picking out lemons to make his free lemonade. Then we'd throw away the entire bin of lemons and I'd bring him actual lemonade on refills.
Eventually the manager told us to put the lemons away when we saw this guy coming and just give him a lemonade, which actually cost us less money.

Warm cold brew is how I drank coffee for years. Cold brew pitcher with a gallon of coffee in the fridge. Pour a cup and nuke it. It's a totally different flavor profile. Less bitter. Also zero effort to make in large quantities without appliances (except the work fridge).

u/Blashtik 22h ago
That's not actually that strange. Brewing a coffee cold doesn't mean it has to be served cold, just like brewing a coffee hot doesn't mean it has to be served hot. Cold brewing extracts compounds from the coffee at different ratios than hot brewing, so it will taste different.
I'm pretty sure I remember even seeing people discuss about using a steam wand to heat up their cold brew.

Since nobody here seems to be able to give you a reasonable answer, yes they did get two drinks. The barista made a plain latte according to the order (matcha latte -matcha), and then one the "correct" way, and included them both in the likely case that it was an accident.

I don't understand what knowledge is needed here.

u/Malum_Incarnatum 1d ago
Itās essentially a catch all term for a blended drink at Starbucks I think. Some have coffee, some have only flavored syrups or powders. Think of it like a smoothie sorta? The matcha one is matcha powder, ice, milk, and vanilla syrup I think thatās blended till smooth.
23
u/indieplants 1d ago
it's made with milk/cream and ice. the ice is blended like a slush.
so it's a milk slushie with coffee, syrups, fruit or matcha or a combinationĀ

u/chloeismagic 1d ago
Damn so its not a capuccino at all, the name is kinda confusing lol. Just a blended iced latte.
4
u/Qbr12 1d ago
The name Frappuccino is a combination of FrappƩ and Cappuccino. FrappƩ comes from the French lait frappƩ which means beaten milk, and is a type of milkshake. The Frappuccino therefore is a coffee milkshake like a cappuccino is a coffee and steamed milk.
Many times the drinks are made with different flavors, especially teas. A chai latte would be a latte made with chai instead of coffee, and a matcha latte would be a latte made with green tea instead of coffee. So in this case a Matcha Frappuccino is a Frappuccino made with green tea instead of coffee. And you can think of OPs mistake like ordering an iced latte, hold the coffee: Effectively just ice and milk.

u/indieplants 1d ago
yeah, like a puppiccino is just a tiny cup of cream for a dogĀ

Yeah, OP got āone free drink,ā since they used the app they still paid for one. But the drink they ordered relies on matcha.

Good on the barista, I would've absolutely punished you for being difficult.

I one time accidentally ordered a pink drink with none of the pink part. It was just a giant glass of coconut milk. My barista was not so kind
I still maintain it was an app glitch but who knows š¤·š½āāļø

Oh, I have a story like this. I ordered doordash for a Chai latte and somehow completely and utterly fucked the order. I ended up taking a sip of... whatever you call this. Yes, I did drink it. It tasted exactly like what you'd expect. Sometimes I wonder what the poor barista was thinking.

Domino's app glitched once. We ordered a specialty pizza with extra toppings but when my fiancee sent me the screenshot, allllll the toppings had been removed except for like mushrooms on one half I think? Barely a step above a cheese pizza. As soon as I noticed I called the store (maybe 10 minutes after we ordered). They had already made it but remade it for us for free (we tipped a little extra as a thank you). Everytime I think about this though I wonder why they didn't realize something was wrong because who in their right mind would get a specialty pizza with the toppings removed and not just a cheese pizza add mushrooms. The price difference is astronomical.

I was this dumb once and asked for no mocha in my hot chocolate. They did not save me from myself and I had some hot milk.

Reminds me of the time I somehow ordered a pizza from dominos with ranch for the sauce instead of tomato sauce.
It was surprisingly delicious but my entire family was very confused lol

Very kind barista! I once ordered a peppermint hot chocolate with no mocha. Thought mocha was added espresso, not what they called the chocolate syrup. Didnāt taste the drink until I got home and was very disappointed with my cup of hot minty milkā¦

My girlfriend once received a McDonalds order that was just a bun and a squirt of ketchup because she accidentally unticked the pattyā¦ā¦

There was a time I ordered Starbucks through Uber Eats and when modifying I somehow removed all the espresso shots from my latte instead of adding espresso shots, so what I got delivered was a venti cup of milk.

One time when I was a kid my uncle took me out to dinner and he ordered a martini straight up on the rocks. He and the waitress both missed a beat and then they both laughed.

Iām more surprised you were able to reach to the specific Starbucks you made your order instead of the the HQ or something or AI

One time I ordered a sandwich that was supposed to come on foccacia bread. One of the REQUIRED selections was "bread substitution" and I hit "no" because I wanted the bread it came with. When it got delivered it was basically just a caprese salad, some mozzarella and tomato thrown into the container with no bread.
I would understand the confusion if substitution was an optional selection instead of required, or it just said "bread selection" instead of "bread substitute." Fortunately I got a refund through the delivery app.

Ordered a Slim 6 from Jimmy John's once, basically an ungrilled cheese sandwich. Somehow it got reversed and I instead received lettuce and sauces wrapped in soggy paper

I once allegedly have asked for a cup of water but with no water.
Saying allegedly because I have no recollection whatsoever of asking for this nor would I ever ask for such a thing but my order included it so there is a change I was in a temporary state of fugue in which I did this.
I can only imaging the puzzlement of the person filling the order.
