Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

To the customer that coughed directly into her hand and went out of her way to touch my hand afterwards, I just wanna talk...(tall sized rant) (self.starbucksbaristas)

Picture this:
I was handing her the TRENTA green iced tea, my hand was at the very bottom, giving her plenty of space to grab it without touching my hand. SHE COUGHS DIRECTLY INTO HER HAND AND GOES TO GRAB THE CUP AND PURPOSELY MOVES HER HAND DOWN TO MY HAND AND FULLY GRASPS MY HAND. Luckily I was wearing gloves but man that was my breaking point. I’m officially taking the paid leave. Screw that mess.

i’m so sorry that happened :( if it’s something that seems like it’s done on purpose this is being treated as assault now and you can absolutely call authorities, i know that’s difficult to do in the drive thru, but for future reference if you have to go get essentials and something similar happens, people have been arrested for this already. apparently people think it’s hilarious to cough on people/products right now

I would have dropped the cup on her. what a horrid human! enjoy that paid leave ( I know I 100% am). you deserve it boo <3

Holy shit I can't imagine howd that feel. This winter a dude coughed into his hand, that had cash and change, and I couldn't believe it. I'm not a germaphobe, and this was before the pandemic, but it fucked me up enough to want to tell him off. People were dumb before this, and it's still the same but worse. I'm rotting for you! You got this!

I have a similar story but it happened to my coworker. One day she had a customer cough into his hands (obviously he should’ve coughed into his elbow) then proceeds to hands a cash. He had the audacity to then say “....umm you probably wanna wash your hands”. Like 🙃🙃🙃🙃

This is my biggest pet peeve even not during a pandemic lmao 1) I am holding your beverage in such a way that you have basically the entire cup to grab and 2) how the fuck do you expect me to let go of the cup if you’re holding my hand down on it but holy shit that’s not okay
