How to order food at Starbucks for the first time without feeling awkward

Starbucks is a very popular coffee shop, a global chain. You can see a Starbucks wherever you go in the business district. I heard that the average consumption of coffee at Starbucks is not low. As a student, how should you order food at Starbucks for the first time so as not to be embarrassed? Let's take a look!

How to order if you have never been to Starbucks

1. Open the Starbucks app and give the member’s QR code to the store clerk to scan.

2. A large latte/cappuccino, hot/without ice.

3. Pay via Alipay.

The whole process takes no more than 30 seconds...

I think the store clerks would be happy to meet a customer like me.

Starbucks members have names, so the staff don't have to ask me your last name, which saves trouble. But if I order two different cups of coffee, I will tell the staff when I order: Miss A for latte and Miss B for cappuccino. (For latte, the staff usually write l, and cappuccino usually write c, sometimes these two letters are very similar)

After ordering, find a place to sit down and play with your phone for a while.

About five minutes later, I went to get the cups, got the coffee, and also got the sugar, stirring stick and cup sleeve.

How to order food at Starbucks without being embarrassed for the first time

1. First, go online to learn about Starbucks drinks, such as which ones contain caffeine, which ones do not, which ones are cold drinks, and which ones are hot drinks. Try to choose a drink you want to drink, and the cashier will usually be happy to recommend it.

2. Starbucks generally has horizontal queues.

3. When you order, your partner will usually greet you and ask you what kind of drink you want. Starbucks generally has medium, large, and extra large cups. (Small cups are rarely available, more than 200 ml, and in mainland China, small cups are not provided unless requested by the customer). At this time, you can say the name of the drink you want. (It is best to make a decision as soon as possible and try not to change it. Because your partner will mark the cup for each drink, and there may be people queuing behind you)

4. Your partner will also ask some other questions, just answer them truthfully.

5. Try not to order Starbucks with the same requirements as milk tea, because many drinks do not support the same ordering methods as milk tea. (For example, 30% sugar and 70% ice cannot be ordered) If you really have requirements, you can make the following requests: change to skim milk/soy milk (whole milk is the default in mainland China), more/less milk foam (when ordering hot cappuccino), children's warm/super hot (hot drinks), less ice/no ice (iced drinks), more cream, low caffeine (when containing caffeine), espresso (containing caffeine and not flat white), single/double/triple/quadruple espresso (containing caffeine)

6. Generally, cashiers will recommend Starbucks Rewards Card. If you come here often, you should apply for one (about 100 yuan). The cashier will explain the Starbucks Rewards Card in detail. If you don’t drink here often, don’t apply for it.

7. Generally, the drinks will be ready in two to three minutes (if there are many people, you have to wait). The bartender will call your name and tell you that the drinks are ready. (For example: Miss Zhang, your XX is ready, please get it from the bar, thank you.) At this time, you can go and get it yourself. Generally, the bartender will also remind you where the straws and napkins are placed (these are self-help).

8. Find an empty table and sit down. Have a drink.

9. It is best to throw your own garbage into the trash can when you leave. (It is also OK if you don’t throw it away, CS partners will collect it.)

How to drink Starbucks cheapest

Order a cup of espresso with ice cubes in a mug, then add it to the self-service bar for free milk to make an iced latte, or add it to water for an iced Americano. Sprinkle some chocolate powder on the iced latte to make an iced mocha.

You can drink Starbucks for less than 20 bucks. There is no other way to get cheaper than what I said. Of course, unless you marry a wife who works at Starbucks.
