Guy!!! You've changed your accent completely in the conversation with barista!!! I find it will be nice if you make some videos with your daily accent, I meant with your natural accent without trying to speak RP

Reading the comments made me realize that I'm not alone in having social anxiety when ordering.
I used to be scared ordering something at starbucks because i have social anxiety and I always feel intimidated by the ambiance, employees and the customers itself. however, since i work there now and i know alot of drinks, it’s not really as intimidating as I thought of it the first time lol

Kristine Cubacub Yeah I applied without any job experience but they still hired me. I don’t have prior coffee knowledge which is fine for them because you’ll learn it on the way. Memorizing drinks for me was easy because I’m a fast learner. I’m only a month in and I already got the hang of POS and most drinks. I downloaded the sbux app and memorized all the recipes of the drinks too. One thing I noticed is that most customers will always order the same thing so you’ll be familiarized with the customizations they ask. Just don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions. Partners like it when you do because they know you care about the job and how to do things right. For trainings, I did two days of computer trainings and hands-on afterwards. I had practice shift for two weeks before they threw me to the wolves. It was a lotta pressure but I managed to survive those hellish week. The trainer that I had was very helpful. She was detailed when she was training us and she gave us good tips on how to memorize things especially POS. I mean, tbh It just depends on the store you’re going to work at. It’s gonna be hard at first especially if customers are very detailed with their orders. You won’t be able to catch up with them but it is okay to ask them if they can repeat it and tell them you’re still new. I had that struggle first couple weeks and I almost quit but my coworkers were super nice and they always make you feel like you’re not the only person who made that mistake before. If you like fast paced environment totally recommend applying at Sbux, however if you don’t, Ig this isn’t the right place to apply.
I can speak English but I am not confident on ordering so what I do is just make some Nescafe at home 😂

samiul gamer same hhh. I get anxiety ordering Starbucks not only because I cannot pronounce some of the drinks correctly, but the fact that I have to teacher the person who takes my order pronounce my name every time is so annoying, and they still don’t get it. I think I’ll just use a fake simple name next time lol

Still remember how awkward and nervous my first time was. 'Can I get a cup of latte with soy milk?' 'Please?' After a few visits, I realised no one actually says 'a cup of' LOL so I just listened to people and wrote down what I heard and practiced at home LOL
Anxiety is simply Doubting Yourself. Usually, it is caused at an early age by Someone doubting you. Once you realize (logically) that YOU CAN HANDLE ANYTHING👍 then the anxiety dies.
Me: intimidated how to order in Starbucks and just drink nescafe lol.

Thank you for these real-life videos! I'm a teacher of English in Argentina and I'm going to use your videos for my classes!! They're super useful 👏👏🤗
I'm here bc I've never been to Starbucks and I'm going out of town so yea
I'm a native English speaker and just stumbled upon this video (don't know why this was in my recommended). I never would have imagined that this is skill that an English learner would need to master since it comes second nature to me. Nevertheless, it's very necessary! This is such a great video on something that is probably overlooked when teaching English!!

Ah thanks so much for your kind words Maddie. Yeah it's little moments like trying to order coffee that can really stump an English language learner so I wanted to help them in a variety of these situations.
I'm Mexican and I just found your channel. It is such a blessing! I speak American English but I learned it mixed up with the British English so I'm trying now to learn the full British English because I love it and your videos are extra helpfull. Thanks a lot!
It's great to learn how you guys start conversation as well!
Your channel is really helpful. I had taken English Lessons with my private tutor since February 2018 to improve my English. And for an extra efforts I found your channel and it is so helpful. Thank you..
I loved this video!!! I hope you make more like this!! Like how can we ask for information at the phone when calling an office, buy clothes, order in a restaurant and ask for the special, buy a train/plane ticket, buy a cinema ticket and popcorn, call someone's house and ask to speak to someone, call to a online store's call center to request info about an order (when is it going to arrive), call to the doctor to cancel or reschedule an appointment, etc.
All of your videos are very helpful especially for me as a new migrant here in Britain. Cheers!
7:10-7:56 made me laugh. That would make a perfect Starbucks commercial 😂
Since I've been learning the american english since little is quite hard for me to understand the british english, but with you I understood everything you were saying. Thanks for the tips.
Hello Tom! I love the fact that in your videos you also show us your city... It's a very entertaining way of learning... You're doing a great job and you're a very good teacher... We're going to visit London this summer and your videos are really helpful. Thank you very much! Greetings from Barcelona...
Thank you for confirming the fact that ordering at Starbucks (or any other coffee place or restaurant for that matter) is intimidating. And thank you for the great video. I'm here after watching the video titled "10 Starbucks drinks you're saying wrong" which was very helpful
Omg finally somebody who knows how to successfully articulate into words what to order! I'm 33, single and I'm also from the UK. I've been to Starbucks a few times but I ALWAYS get anxiety and nervous every time I walk into a Starbucks and order, it's ridiculous i feel like a kid and i'm 33. I usually say, i'd like a medium mocha, and that's it full stop haha... i have absolutely NO IDEA about the toppings and type of milk and expresso etc... honestly i need to get out the house more! Anyways it's 2018 now and i'm planning on going Starbucks tomorrow.. i have no idea what a latte is, never had latte,... i have no idea what iced coffee is, never tasted it (I think it's also important to note that i don't have any friends in my pathetic life so i'm forced to go to a lot of places alone and figure things out for myself, so going alone only makes my anxiety even worse). i wouldn't even know how to drink an ice cofffee, like the correct way.. i'm basically clueless.. but you've put things into a little more perspective, so thank you Mr Eat Sleep Dream English man
I love you personally and way of teaching. I have only being in Starbucks twice and I had not clue what I was ordering so I feel more confident now
I have recently discovered your channel and I do love it!! Thanks for your clear explanations and useful contents. I'm a Spanish teacher of English and I'm sure I'll use contents from your videos for my classes ;)
This is a really well laid out video, thank you
You are an excellent coach particularly for international students out of America. Thank you so much. I couldnt stop subscribing.
I liked this video! Very helpful for those who are in the process of learning and trying to exercise their (British) English skills...! Subscribed!
Thank you
Thanks! My English is not so bad but you know, ordering food at cafe or something makes me nervous, sometimes person at the counter doesn’t understand me once. But thanks to this video, I will try again😘
great video Tom.Thanks
Thank you, Tom. Great video!
I actually never been in any starbucks store, even when I already start working. I scared to go in SB stores for the reason that I might pronounce the coffee's name wrong. 😭😭😭.

Well I had to suffer humiliation in one of the SB stores ...it was definitely not because of my vocabulary but was certainly because of lack of exposure. You have been successful in empathising people and that's so nice of you. I wish the world was full of people like you. Good Luck Mate!
Dont know how I ended up watching this, but I have a tip to visitors... Americans dont use the term 'Take away' like the UK does. We tend to say 'To go'. Youll be asked, 'Is that for here, or to go?' ....just thought I'd share.
in the morning i always order a double espresso, but sometimes add caramel syrup. and so nice when they do pic on top of the foam
