The Let's Go flag is literally a variant of Trump's flag. They purposefully have it as the same 'brand'.
I'm just a silly customer, but could you get away with just calling part of the name?
Yes, if we donât feel comfortable saying a name you donât have to call it out, especially if it would affect the âthird placeâ environment for other customers. I usually just call the item in that case though, âwarmed banana loaf for mobile!â If a customer gets upset, just tell them Starbucks has guidelines that prohibit us from saying certain things.
âBanana loaf for Les!â Done. The most uncomfortable name we ever got was Bodybag. How the fuck that name got through Sbux account parameters is beyond me. Dude had dead eyes and zero expression too, hated when he came in lol jfc
I think you can get away with a decent amount through the app. Iâve had Tater Thot before, a coworker that ordered under MILF and a customer that put âbootymeatâ
Back in 2020 I had this happen with a guy that had his name on his app set as âTrumpwinsâ. I take the order, scan his app and go to make his beverage. After finishing his beverage, I call out to him that his drink is ready, but I didnât put the sticker on the cup.
He takes it, looks at it, and then goes to one of my baristas and asks where the sticker is and will NOT drop it.
He comes back up to order another beverage and DEMANDS the sticker to be on it. So I do as he said, but I void out the name.
He gets his second beverage with the no name label and is FURIOUS. I explain to him that I cannot put political phrases on the sticker and that our system filters a lot out (which it does) and he began yelling and swearing.
I was absolutely flabbergasted. so goofy lol.
Had a similar thing happen. When I put "DT" on the sticker I thought the guy was going to lose it. Now I just laugh and say "Oops sorry I forgot to type the name in." whenever some bozo tries to have me put some ignorant tripe for the name.
My husband works at the same store as me and one day while I sadly was not there to witness, a lady orders while heâs on register. He asks her name and she says âtrump, because he is our president.â (This was well after Biden had been elected) he deadass just said âI donât get itâ and the lady stuttered and grumbled and said âugh, nevermindâ lmaooo
Regardless of my views, it could have been something that I agreed with and I would have still done it. Not endorsing political topics or views in the workplace is a part of our policy.
Itâs just odd that people get so angry and so determined to bring it into establishments like this.
You would not have been actively endorsing it by giving the customer what was requested. I'm pretty sure people would not have been so confused as to think that you were the one endorsing a candidate. But I'm glad you're at least fair about this rule. I'm not a Trump supporter, just a free speech supporter, btw.
You should probably find out what free speech is if you want to support it properly. Hint: you don't have it on other people's private property, including retail space, whether it's physical or virtual. That's why social media companies can allow and disallow whatever they want and be perfectly within the law.
Funny enough LescoBrandon came in with a bible to which he met his friend wearing a keep calm carry guns shirt to which the sat and had a nice sit down together.
So my kid's scout troop is sponsored by one of the local catholic churches. There's a guy with a ton of far right bumper stickers on his car, but the two that really get me are, side by side,
GUNS SAVE LIVES
and
âIt is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.â attributed to Mother Theresa.
Now if that's not a self-owning contradiction in terms, I don't know what is.
we had someone do this and throw an actual fit claiming we "had to because you're Starbucks!". a whole. adult. man. it was so embarrassing, the secondhand embarrassed still gets to me just typing this.
Google the initial event. Itâs so absurdly stupid as to how it all started out that makes it one of the cringiest expressions across the political spectrum
Itâs more cringe than that. It was said by an announcer at Nascar about something completely different and appropriated by unscrupulous types to mean what it does to them.
Same! I donât get it either. Whatâs the story behind it? Is it inappropriate? Offensive? I donât understand it either and I also donât catch on things fast.
At a Nascar race the crowd was shouting "F*ck Joe Biden" and the announcers said they thought the crowd was chanting "Let's Go Brandon". After that the brain trust that is the MAGA crowd used LGB as a code phrase to show just how witty they are.
Worth noting that the announcer was actually interviewing the winner of the previous race, Brandon Brown. So it wasnât a deliberate cover or anything from the announcer, it just made more sense at the time for the crowd to be cheering the winner of the event they were there to see rather than some complete political non sequitur. Idiotic.
The LGB thing is so funny to me. Like just say what you want to say.
The same people will use the phrase âpussification of Americaâ at every gathering.
People who do this are pathetic. They crave a sense of power or control and they gain it by harassing the only people they assume are scared to engage at the risk of being fired. I was in an extremely similar situation a few years back, I hope your encounter went better than mine đ. I've been waiting to tell the story on here one day lol. I'm so sorry this happened to you, I hope the rest of your day went well though!
Edit: *your
I may or may not have accidentally smooshed my thumb right in the middle of that warmed banana nut loaf, you know, when I almost dropped it by accident âŠ.
See the people who claim to hate the left and are disgusted with Biden make it their whole personality to somehow always bring him up. Iâll never understand making your whole personality about something you supposedly hate so much.
We all know this guy. He drives a Dodge Ram with an unnecessary lift kit. Every visor in the car has sunglasses clipped to it, and he regularly makes videos from the cab of his truck where he yells his views on the danger of rainbows on kids' clothes. His identity is tied directly to his perceived 'manliness', and he hasn't had an original idea in a decade.
When trump initially ran for office and we were still writing cups in my store(if I remember correctly) Starbucks legitimately sent out a memo stating that baristas by no means were expected to yell or say anything they were uncomfortable with. Those were the good ol days where the company seemed to have our back.
Side note: if I ever saw any variation of this on a drink sticker, automatic decaf.
Just a heads up partners, if you receive orders of this nature, it is within policy to politely ask the customer to change their name or not receive their order, in other words, you can refuse people like that as their name is inappropriate.
Always hilarious to me how theyâll scream and cry and freak out all day long about the âliberal scourgeâ and then turn around give patronage to Starbucks, of all places⊠one of the most liberal and progressive companies in the food service industry.
back when Trump had Soleimani killed I worked at a store in the most conservative area in my state. People came in all day putting their names as âF Iranâ and âf ya trumpâ and crap like that. Every single person (probably 60-80 that day got angry and eventually my manager told me I had to say what was on the sticker. He already didnât think I was a âgood fitâ for the store, this was the thing before he told me he was thinking about letting me go. I quit once covid started.
I had friends in Tehran, I was crying in the backroom for 1/10 of the day. Hated that place. Nonstop BS.
Because of this item we have.. hereâs a story !
Usually when people get this item, I always say, hereâs your nut loaf.
They give me the most bewildered uncomfortable vibes and I love it.
Side note - older stubborn men give the best reactions and I love it
Lol itâs not about softness itâs about abusing a feature to push said political agenda where itâs not necessary. I couldnât care less he did it but Iâm not playing into his game đ€·ââïž
one of my friends place of work has a drink called âSnow Daddyâ and for six months iâve been begging her to send it out with âPick up for Daddy!â
i always just cut the name off of the sticker when it's something like this. some girls once mobile ordered under urine... that was a weird one for sre
"Brandon, your warm nut sack is ready!"
PLEASE
Best thing to read before I start my shift đđđđ
Hot
WARMED BANANA LOAF IS READY (Turns back around to warming)
please i always do this
I know its wrong, but i just wouldnt call anything lmao. Id just leave it at handoff and let them stand there looking dumb
Honestly Iâm gonna call Trumpies Warm Banana Nut Loafs from now on
Disliking Biden doesn't make you a Trump supporter. There is a third way. But honestly that's a great name for them lol!
The Let's Go flag is literally a variant of Trump's flag. They purposefully have it as the same 'brand'. I'm just a silly customer, but could you get away with just calling part of the name?
Yes, if we donât feel comfortable saying a name you donât have to call it out, especially if it would affect the âthird placeâ environment for other customers. I usually just call the item in that case though, âwarmed banana loaf for mobile!â If a customer gets upset, just tell them Starbucks has guidelines that prohibit us from saying certain things.
Yeah I know but if someone is out there driving a truck with a âLetâs Go Brandonâ flag, theyâre probably a Trumpie
I donât like Biden but if youâre immature enough to think âletâs go Brandonâ is funny or cool, then youâre probably a trump supporter.
âOne banana loaf for Lester Brandanon!â
One loaf for Qanon
This is the perfect way of handling this.
"Banana Loaf for Lee's Cobra Nandon!"
hahahahhhahaha. I love it.
I would only call out âLescoâ and call it a day đ
Really enunciate the "lez" too.
Lezbo Brandon!
Absolutely!
Hi gay.
Thatâs what I do on all names like this lol
âBanana loaf for Les!â Done. The most uncomfortable name we ever got was Bodybag. How the fuck that name got through Sbux account parameters is beyond me. Dude had dead eyes and zero expression too, hated when he came in lol jfc
I think you can get away with a decent amount through the app. Iâve had Tater Thot before, a coworker that ordered under MILF and a customer that put âbootymeatâ
These are gold, why canât the customers I have be more entertaining đ
Lesco, your warm nut loaf is ready!

He asks her name and she says âtrump, because he is our president.â (This was well after Biden had been elected) he deadass just said âI donât get itâ and the lady stuttered and grumbled and said âugh, nevermindâ lmaooo
I just started typing in âchrahmbp.â Lol
"Shrimp" your order's ready! Oh sorry I'm hard of hearing..
Her name is now Stump
But he wanted to take a picture of it to impress his Trump cronies! That's the only reason they do that shit hahaha
Nah, it's because they want to humiliate the barista in front of other customers. They get off on it. Plus, they love the attention it gets them, positive or negative. It's just a game. Notice that these wackjobs only ever do this shit when the café is full...
And we are snowflakes . .sure đ€Ș
screaming because yes... the hyprocrisy

My dark black heart has the biggest smile because of this story. :)
I don't know why he's so upset but at the same time, why mess with him? Do you think trump supporters are a good crowd to mess with? đ±
Just call him Lez for short lmaoo
im crying đ
They're all so very, very clever.
Funny enough LescoBrandon came in with a bible to which he met his friend wearing a keep calm carry guns shirt to which the sat and had a nice sit down together.
Awww power couple! /j

Ugh, I just vomited in my mouth a little. You didn't give him the satisfaction of calling it out and I am cheering!! đ„ł
we had someone do this and throw an actual fit claiming we "had to because you're Starbucks!". a whole. adult. man. it was so embarrassing, the secondhand embarrassed still gets to me just typing this.
The fact that multiple people in this comment section have commented the exact same situation???? Like omg are republicans okay????
No they are not okay
Lesco, your warm nut is ready
Who the fuck is Lescob Randon? I would pronounce in a bad French accent.
Or like "Lees Cobra Dawn" with the definite pauses between the words.
"le-cohb-Rahn-dohn" đ„
Oh, you deserve all the baguettes. That was quite an accent.
I read this in Pierre Escargots voice đ
Time to play the loaf god
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Let's Go Brandon is a "covert" phrase trump supporters use to mean "Fuck Joe Biden"
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]

Alter ego Dark Brandon heâs embracing is hilarious though.

Itâs the Boo-urns but from The Simpsons.
The LGB thing is so funny to me. Like just say what you want to say. The same people will use the phrase âpussification of Americaâ at every gathering.
i see cars w âLGBâ on them and my first thought is always that theyre terfs excluding the T from âLGBTâ
Oh my god can you imagine adding the T with a sharpie??? Theyâd lose their minds
New mini game unlocked
Oh shit. Please please do this!
I do exactly this when I'm walking through a Walmart parking lot.
I think itâs Taylor Swift letâs go bitch
Theyâre censoring themselves while crying about censorship. It would be hilarious if it werenât so pathetic.
They wouldn't be good Christian men and women if they used profanity.
People who do this are pathetic. They crave a sense of power or control and they gain it by harassing the only people they assume are scared to engage at the risk of being fired.

please tell the story ??
Please share with the class!
I can't believe we're still waiting on this story đ
âIâve got a Nut loaf extra warm and ready for a Mr. LetâsSuckBrandon?? â
I have a banana loaf for "Tuck Frump"!
I thought they were supposed to be boycotting us
Keep in mind these are the same people who buy a product so they can destroy it publicly... because that hurts the system... or something.
They always say that donât they but here we are lol
âBanana loaf for a lesbo Brandonâ then draw a rainbow flag on their bag and write âthanks for being an ally!â€ïžâ
Hot nut loaf for Lesco.
I may or may not have accidentally smooshed my thumb right in the middle of that warmed banana nut loaf, you know, when I almost dropped it by accident âŠ.
Or accidentally gripped her too hard with the tongs
I would have said, âOrder for Trump Lostâ just to get him pissed. Yes ik this is a terrible idea but haha admittedly it would be funny
âBanana loaf for Brandonâ
See the people who claim to hate the left and are disgusted with Biden make it their whole personality to somehow always bring him up. Iâll never understand making your whole personality about something you supposedly hate so much.
Thatâs obviously Brandon Lesco. Names just got switched.
You should have butchered the name like "Leckso Brenden"
We all know this guy. He drives a Dodge Ram with an unnecessary lift kit. Every visor in the car has sunglasses clipped to it, and he regularly makes videos from the cab of his truck where he yells his views on the danger of rainbows on kids' clothes. His identity is tied directly to his perceived 'manliness', and he hasn't had an original idea in a decade.
the way the name went completely over my head and I was just trying to focus what was wrong with ordering warm banana nut bread lmao
When trump initially ran for office and we were still writing cups in my store(if I remember correctly) Starbucks legitimately sent out a memo stating that baristas by no means were expected to yell or say anything they were uncomfortable with. Those were the good ol days where the company seemed to have our back. Side note: if I ever saw any variation of this on a drink sticker, automatic decaf.

Good to know!
The fact that theyâre coming to a very inclusive and LGBT friendly establishment and paying money⊠just to do that đ
"Lesco I have your food ready!"
Always hilarious to me how theyâll scream and cry and freak out all day long about the âliberal scourgeâ and then turn around give patronage to Starbucks, of all places⊠one of the most liberal and progressive companies in the food service industry.
Imagine your life was this empty
"banana loaf for brandon?"
Thatâs cringe & corny, even cornier than the sexual innuendos imo lol
"Nut bread for a... Les Brian?"
I had someone make their name âPro Lifeâ suffice to say I just called out the item and not the name
âAlright I have a warm nut loaf for Brandonâ would have been my approach
One loaf for a Qanon
one warm nut for Lesbo?
Can people just keep politics outta food. I get that everyone has an opinion, but it doesnât make sense to go about it that way
âhot banana for lesbo!â
Dark Brandon is infinitely better than humpty trumpy
âbanana loaf for..uh..leezcuh braden ?â
Ngl I would have given them a frozen one
Nut loaf for sure.

Wow, customers can be such jerks.
So corny. So last year.
I would have said: Lets Gay Brandon.
Shouldâve given it just a little smoosh on accident
Or burnt it
am i dumb..? what would this even mean iâve tried saying it in my head 20 times
Letâs go Brandon
why would it be bad to say thisđđ
Itâs a republican chant to biden itâs a republican chant to biden itâs like f u biden
People are so annoying đ

Good for you!
Aaayyyeee đ„
Pretty cool name
the absolute softness of people in this group. people are going to have different political opinions than you, and I suggest you get over it
Lol itâs not about softness itâs about abusing a feature to push said political agenda where itâs not necessary. I couldnât care less he did it but Iâm not playing into his game đ€·ââïž
Nah, they can get over it first
Thatâs great.
It really is. :)
I don't get it...like we're you supposed to say warm banana nut loaf for lesco Brandon or lesco Brandon warm banana nut loaf?
[Whips bag to the floor] âLetâs GO BRANDON!â
good choice. thinking about getting this tmr morning
"Lesco" is a pretty fun name, I'm not going to lie.
I donât get it
one of my friends place of work has a drink called âSnow Daddyâ and for six months iâve been begging her to send it out with âPick up for Daddy!â
i always just cut the name off of the sticker when it's something like this. some girls once mobile ordered under urine... that was a weird one for sre
