Starbucks baristas slam customers who keep ordering ‘TikTok drinks’
Unsplash: Naufal Giffari/Q.U.I.A Starbucks barista went viral after they slammed drive-thru customers who kept ordering drinks they’d seen on TikTok.
In a popular Reddit thread, a Starbucks barista talked about the customers that frustrated her the most.
“Please please please stop coming up to the drive-thru naming drinks you saw on TikTok… We don’t know how to make them,” she begins.
“If you can tell us what’s in them and how they’re made, we can certainly try, but please don’t argue with us being like, ‘how do you not know how to make this’ and start having one-sided arguments with us, especially when my fellow partners and I do make an attempt to try and ask how to make them… Thanks.”
Baristas weigh in on TikTok drinks
Other baristas shared the poster’s feelings, writing: “Please don’t shove a phone in my face. It’s one thing to enter an order from a picture of someone unable to speak english, or speak in general, but I’m not gonna sit for an entire minute while a TikTok plays in front of me and guess what I’m looking at.”
“I won’t even glance at a phone. I’m like please tell me your base drink and what modifications I can make to it. The phone in the face is so beyond rude,” another agreed.
“The Starbucks “secret menu” has been around even before TikTok lol. You’d think people would know by now to ask for the modifications that’s listed in the recipes rather than just assuming you know what a ‘unicorn farts frappalooloo’ entails,” one said sarcastically.
One had some advice for customers, writing: “This this this. We have no issue making you the stupid pink drink with strawberry puree and vanilla bean powder and heavy cream and vanilla sweet cream cold foam. No issue. Just don’t say ‘the TikTok strawberries and cream drink’ please.”
Another Starbucks barista went viral after they created a list of what ‘annoying’ customers should do when ordering.
