Hey 3 year barista here. With the upcoming new drink I've been thinking a lot about how I swear isnt there something put in place where we cannot show new drinks/items to the public (social media) until like a week or two before launch???? Its definitely not a big deal rn since we are only a week or two away from the new drink launch but even weeks and weeks ago when we got stock in baristas were posting pictures and videos of the drink. Even then my store at least doesnt open up and test these products until a week or two before. Maybe Im just imagining it but I wasnt able to find any info on partner hub. Sorry if this is a stupid question lmaoo

You’re totally right. After the unicorn fiasco (if I remember right, a barista shared the information before it launched and people went ballistic) we’re not allowed to share or talk about upcoming drinks.

You're right. But I think starbucks secretly likes that we do that because it creates buzz on social media for them.
