Survive A Day As A Starbucks Barista Sudden Death Quiz

I'll Be Super Impressed If You Can Survive This Starbucks Barista Sudden Death Quiz

First things first: Where do you work? 

Which shoes did you show up wearing?  

Your manager wants to make sure you're ready to take orders, so they ask you to list the drink sizes from smallest to largest. What do you say? 

Time to serve your first customer! They request a chocolate croissant, a glazed donut, and a rainbow bagel. What do you tell them?

It's time to make some drinks! A customer requests a Grande Pink Drink. How do you make it? 

The next customer orders an Espresso Con Panna. What do you make them? 

It's lunch time! A customer requests a Chicken Caprese Panini. What do you give them? 

School just got out, and some middle school students want Frappuccinos. They order a Strawberry Funnel Cake, a Chai Cremé, and a Double Chocolaty Chip Crème. What do you tell them? 

A customer requests hemp milk in their iced coffee. What do you tell them? 

It's the final stretch! Someone orders a Caffè Americano. What do you give them? 

Your manager informs you that each of those Frappuccino flavors exist, and sends you home for the day to study the menu and make sure this doesn't happen again. 

 You didn't know the Frappuccino flavors! 

Your manager tells you that a Pink Drink is a viral sensation that became a regular menu item. You make it by mixing Strawberry Açaí Refresher with coconut milk, adding a scoop of strawberries, and serving over ice. The customer is so upset that your manager suggests you hide in the back for the rest of the day, which you do. 

 You gave the customer the wrong thing! 

Your manager tells you that the correct order is short, tall, Grande, Venti, and Trenta. They send you home for the day to study the menu, and tell you not to come back if you don't know the basics of Starbucks by tomorrow. 

 You didn't know the sizes of the drinks!

Your manager informs you that according to the Starbucks dress code, you can't wear open-toed shoes at work. You're sent home for the day. 

 You wore the wrong shoes! 

Your manager explains that an Espresso Con Panna is an espresso shot topped with whipped cream. They send you home for the day to study the menu. 

 You gave the customer the wrong thing!

The customer takes a bite of their panini and realizes that instead of a delicious chicken caprese (with chicken, mozzarella, tomatoes, basil pesto, balsamic), you've given them an incorrect, lesser sandwich. They summon your manager, who sends you home for the day to study the menu. 

 You gave the customer the wrong sandwich!

Your manager tells you that a Caffè Americano is shots of espressos topped with hot water. Even though you're so close to being done for the day, they send you home anyways. 

 You gave the customer the wrong drink!

Well done! You kept both your manager and the customers happy, and your fellow baristas are in awe of your natural aptitude for life in the green apron. Help yourself to a unicorn cake pop, because you deserve it! 

 A Successful First Day On the Job!

Starbucks sells both chocolate croissants and glazed donuts, but "rainbow" is not one of the variety of bagels offered. The customer gets very angry when they learn you promised a bagel you could not deliver, and your manager sends you home from the day to study the menu and make sure a mix-up like this doesn't happen again. 

 You didn't know which bakery items are available!

While Starbucks offers other non-dairy options, hemp milk is not one of them. The customer is very upset and tells you that you've ruined his day, which seems like an over-exaggeration, but your manager sends you home to study the menu anyways. 

 You told the customer the wrong thing!

Instead of your manager, you found a parody of Starbucks featured on the hit Comedy Central show "Nathan For You." You get fired for missing your first shift, but you at least you get a selfie with host Nathan Fielder for your troubles. 

 You showed up at Dumb Starbucks instead of the real one!

Si no sabes qué es una café americano, tus chance bajarán mucho.

Vamos a descubrir si sobrevivirías un día como barista de Starbucks
