edit: it's the customers, as expected, but now I have a better picture of how they can slow things down this much.

i arrive to find two people in line

car at front: sits at window for 15 literal minutes. receives single drink

car after them: sits at window for 15 literal minutes, receives single drink

me: pulls up to window, places order, receives drink within 2 minutes

what could they possibly be doing up there? there can't be a beverage that takes 15 minutes to prepare, I would think, and it can't just be "they're busy" because then I would have to sit at the window for 15 minutes at least once in a while, but this has happened well over fifty times, and not once have I ever had to wait more than 2 minutes for my order, even if there's 10 people in line and only one person working. It has to be something these other patrons are doing to slow down the process, but I can't fathom what it could be.

And I mean, fifteen minutes? It doesn't sound that long but man, I can't figure out how one could fill all that time no matter how many ingredients or devices you're involving. After six or eight you'd have to be running out of potential tasks

in reply to @chirasul's post:

This is usually the response I get but, set a timer for 15 minutes and imagine assembling this, and by the 6-minute mark you will be out of things to do. I'm sure it feels like 15 minutes to make this, but it's all syrups and toppings that take a quarter to a half second to dispense. If someone's actually timed the process with a stopwatch then I can totally stand corrected, but it doesn't seem like the math makes sense, adding up all these things only comes out to five or six minutes, I don't know where the other 10 are coming from.

A couple things that happen:

  • Due to allergy safety requirements, a lot of alternate ingredients require lengthy washing steps that cost a lot of time
  • Any time even one of these ingredients is out of stock, they'll have to pause the whole thing and restock
  • Anything with foam or shots may add additional prep/brewing time which causes significant slowdowns
  • Mystery reasons
