I love how corporate thinks the kiwi refresher is gonna be a big seller 👁👄👁 it tastes awful
lobotomydreams 37 points 3y ago
i heard they fucked up the recipe and asked everyone to get rid of their supply so they could send out the actual product
MANDALORIAN_COFFEE 10 points 3y ago
We have eight boxes worth of it blocking our order every week now... 😒
Gingersnap5322 9 points 3y ago
I hope that’s true cuz I was really amped for it but it tastes like jolly ranchers and I can’t stand those
darkwolf523 10 points 3y ago
It’s too sweet. Not as sweet as the other refresher but the Star drink taste way better than the actual drink
Chilebeans1 6 points 3y ago
Kiwi is the best refresher ever and I will accept any spare boxes
Zeldaluvr2007 6 points 3y ago
That’s so disappointing! I haven’t been able to work at my airport ‘Bux since March so I had no idea about the new launch. The kiwi one sounded so good 😭
oversoakedoreo 1 points 2y ago
We taste tested it a while ago and it taste like a jolly rancher. We have customers coming in trying to order it. And I'm just thinking "What store is selling this crap!?!?" Cause then they go to another store and say the same thing we've all heard. . ."well the other store does it." Good for you! Take your sry ass back to that store then.
MajesticAioli 1 points 3y ago
It does, it tastes like it's watered down, which is actually what starfruit tasted like to me - a watered down green apple. I'm shocked it's always sold out at my store.
Andomingman 40 points 3y ago
Yes but how are your cups and lids looking
dhorner017 [OP] 12 points 3y ago
NOT TOO BAD NOW 😂
LALyfestyle 18 points 3y ago
How do you have that much space 😮
dhorner017 [OP] 34 points 3y ago
This store was built a little over a year ago, so EVERYTHING yoyu could possibly need in this store, is here. It’s GIANT. there’s so much space. It’s AMAZING.
asphyxiat3xx 5 points 3y ago
I am high-key jealous. I'm constantly shredding my knuckles on those metro shelves just to get my daily order to fit each morning.
fugitivepope 18 points 3y ago
my store could never
drinkliquidclocks 12 points 3y ago
Does anyone else really hate the new starfruit refresher 😥 it sounds good but it's so freaking gross
laurenbench 6 points 3y ago
It’s really good with uncut lemonade. Super tart!
[deleted] 12 points 3y ago
Weren’t we supposed to get rid of the kiwi or something?
dearDem 10 points 3y ago
No the launch for the kiwi star fruit drinks was delayed until July 7th
[deleted] 14 points 3y ago
Yeah but wasn’t there a recall on certain boxes.
coffeecatmom 13 points 3y ago
Yes only in some areas and like 4 or 5 batch codes
sadbrockboy 6 points 3y ago
is that why it tastes so bad or is that how its supposed to be
crims0ncircuit 11 points 3y ago
LOL I retried it when we got in the not recalled batch number, and it’s a bit better. It tastes more like a jolly rancher and less like celery water now
[deleted] 3 points 3y ago
I hope it’s not how it’s supposed to be
dearDem 6 points 3y ago
Hmm maybe in some areas? Not in mine

Although if that were the case it would explain why some of our stores didn’t receive all their products for this beverage until a few days before the initial launch
headyslabs 1 points 3y ago
Lol what my store is selling the kiwi refresher
soda_rain 8 points 3y ago
This boycott has the potential to bankrupt corporate. Let’s unionize quickly.
KittenG8r 4 points 3y ago
I hope you do unionize. It’s been my dream for y’all since I left. I recall being told repeatedly how we were SO HAPPY that we didn’t NEED a union. Gag.
entropylizard2 1 points 3y ago
Boycott? Im out of the loop
soda_rain 6 points 3y ago
People want to boycott Starbucks for unfair labor practices, unfair wages, working conditions during coronavirus, and insurance fraud.
kanyon01 5 points 3y ago
Wait really??? I didn’t know this. Tbh I think Starbucks has treated us better during the pandemic than most companies. I know they have their flaws but at least we had some paid time off. I wish it was extended but eh. Not trying to argue though. Your complaints are all valid 😂
coonxhound 5 points 3y ago
Insurance fraud?
entropylizard2 2 points 3y ago
Insurance fraud?
perfecktenschlog 7 points 3y ago
this is so aesthetic 🤩🤩

edit: except for the top row of kiwi w the two that are backwards 🙃
unsatisfied_plant 5 points 3y ago
The kiwi refresher is gonna flop so bad. The sent in the new ones yesterday and we tried it to see if it was different. The flavor was more impactful and it looks more like radioactive water than the last batch did, but it’s still so incredibly nasty. I would never go out of my way to purchase it.
GoldTurds- 5 points 3y ago
My SM would say someone worked too hard and to just out the boxes on the shelf :|
agentdouble1s 3 points 3y ago
That's the weirdest thing I've ever heard 😭
bbun223 3 points 3y ago
I wish we were allowed to take product out of its boxes and organize like this... out dm came through and told us everything should be kept in its boxes on the shelf to make it “easier” for us. Hilarious the things they think work for us.
interyx 3 points 3y ago
Im gonna ask if I can come get some stuff. The mileage is probably only around $1000
Danny_myrillo 2 points 1y ago
Back when refreshers still tasted good gosh I miss this. ;.;
dhorner017 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
Same.
G37_is_numberletter 2 points 3y ago
Fifo nightmare?
OhHi- 2 points 3y ago
Was better when it was cool lime refresher and Valencia orange.
lemonjuicepulp 2 points 3y ago
I wish our storage was out of the boxes 😔we keep them boxed and so just trying to quickly grab product is a finger crusher
kanyon01 1 points 3y ago
Same we have to keep them boxed it makes me sad
brit_666 2 points 3y ago
what is the kiwi star fruit? it sounds amazing! (my store still hasn’t opened yet)
perfecktenschlog 10 points 3y ago
it tastes like a melted green jolly rancher
brit_666 1 points 3y ago
ooo sounds good! when does it launch?
0x52and1x52 5 points 3y ago
It tastes horrible
perfecktenschlog 1 points 3y ago
it was supposed to be w the summer 2 launch but there was a recall on a ton of them so now it’s july 7th
convulsivedaisy 2 points 3y ago
My old store used to keep it like this but my new one doesn’t :( it’s so much nicer at my d store. This stores organization triggers me haha I just wanna redo it all
Grouchy-Confection73 1 points 1y ago
My Starbucks switched to all 4x mixes🥴
mpk1012 1 points 3y ago

mpk1012 1 points 3y ago
It’s so beautiful 😍😍😍😍
Ahzombiee 1 points 3y ago
Damnnn, I wish we had the storage for that. This is beautiful to see
megameatloafcake 1 points 3y ago
Has anyone ever actually ordered that Kiwi Starfruit drink? Nobody who goes to my store has, and all of my coworkers HATE it lol
dhorner017 [OP] 4 points 3y ago
It hasn’t launched yet! It got pushed back because they sent out a bad batch along with the strawberry açaí
megameatloafcake 2 points 3y ago
Ahhhhh okie! I’m hopeful for the new batches! ☺️
applepie1113 1 points 3y ago
