Petition to ban Starbucks partners from creating new tiktok recipes (self.starbucksbaristas)

submitted by tchaikovskysdad

Pls, I don’t wanna make these during a rush

throwaway1209340987 143 points 2y ago

This will never happen. There’s too much positive social media attention if you create a viral drink.

dancing_durian 155 points 2y ago

I have the next viral sensation ‘triple filtered H2O served over its crystallized form’ so refreshing.

drowninginristretto 43 points 2y ago

But honestly have you seen people ordering water with all the berry inclusions ?!? That’s been a thing at my store

VectoredClarinet 71 points 2y ago

You mean the Custom Iced Teas with no tea, extra water, and inclusions? Because I’ve had those! We don’t sell drink components separately.

drowninginristretto 26 points 2y ago

That’s what we change it to after they drive away cause they get mad that it isn’t 67¢ at the order box

dancing_durian 5 points 2y ago

Oh god no! I hope I don’t see that ever! 😭

drowninginristretto 7 points 2y ago

We probably get 10 orders of that each morning peak... it all started like 2 weeks ago

different_as_can_be 3 points 2y ago

knock on wood, but we don’t get these too regularly yet. but i’m waiting for the day. i do this for myself with kiwi and strawberry. but like. bc i need hydration with a little spice. come on tik tok.

Savmac1020 6 points 2y ago

Someone’s already started a trend buying water with all the inclusions. There ya go

tchaikovskysdad [OP] 35 points 2y ago

True... We live in a society.

zydr8te 14 points 2y ago

And origins of the super popular pink drink state corporate kind of dosen't mind when we make our own

cadmus1890 3 points 2y ago

Our own, that they own.

ageese35 77 points 2y ago

What if we as a group just agreed to stop sharing our overly complicated drinks with white girls who have no problem spending daddy’s money

P.s: I think it has technically been banned bc as of the updated social media agreement we’re not allowed to share recipes online

filmphotographywhore 36 points 2y ago

We were never allowed to share recipes for drinks from my understanding.. which is why I don’t understand why partners are posting Tiktoks like we can

ageese35 40 points 2y ago

There was a tik Tok account I found a while ago and literally the entire account up until about a month or so ago was her posting recipes while at work on the floor. I was like 👁👄👁 who even has time to make tik toks while at work???

Rea0flight 5 points 2y ago

I feel like we all know what barista this is. Does she flip the drink and catch it like we’re Dairy Queen or something?

ageese35 2 points 2y ago

Lol yep

filmphotographywhore 12 points 2y ago

Same, also how are their shifts no getting on to them for having their phones out .-.

aimsthename88 4 points 2y ago

I feel like they’re all coming from licensed stores that are maybe not as busy and probably more relaxed about the rules.

plushiequeenaspen 5 points 2y ago

Ehhhh I work at a licensed store and when there's only one or two people on the floor and a line wrapped around target, there is definitely not time to be filming drinks lol. That said, we are a little more relaxed about phones in the sense that if you make cool latte art you can take a picture of it and no one gets mad about it. (my last corp sm would get so mad of you even had your phone in your pocket on the floor)

Racism? You better stretch before you reach like that again

ageese35 7 points 2y ago

I am a white girl... I don’t think being critical of “white girls” is racist. and also it’s just a stereotype... I used it for the effect I knew it would elicit rather than a judgement of what race buys what drink

Saradigm 2 points 2y ago

Agree. White people can’t experience racism. Prejudice is the word they shoulda used.

Edit: It wasn’t that either though because who gives a shit. Lmao. Signed also a white girl.

lelaluv 7 points 2y ago

here we go ..... lmfao

Savmac1020 0 points 2y ago

? im just saying.. its not just white people. lmao

lelaluv 4 points 2y ago

it’s definitely not but you used the term racist when u can’t be racist to white people lmfao

shelmet23 69 points 2y ago

My theory is those tiktokers are starbucks corporate plants lol creating $8 drinks that people order without a second thought

420catloveredm 8 points 2y ago

That wouldn’t be surprising.

Vc111505 59 points 2y ago

bruh i had to make 3 Venti white chocolate mochas with sweet cream cold foam and extra caramel drizzle in a row today... almost quit my job

astivana 25 points 2y ago

only three?

Vc111505 10 points 2y ago

3 in a row, with like 6 more drinks to make and i was the only one on bar lol

P_2_P 6 points 2y ago

I made a couple of those today too. Did y’all put the whip on top of the cold foam or what’s up?

CS3883 4 points 2y ago

Nah I type in no whip on those even if they don't ask. I mean if you think about it the difference between WC and SC foam is the 2% milk in it which whip doesn't have. Seems really stupid to have both. And it doesn't later right anyways. So guess what ya gettin no whip! 🤣

Vc111505 4 points 2y ago

i usually don’t put the whip cream because i assume it’s overboard but maybe i should start asking if they want it lol

aimsthename88 3 points 2y ago

I say “okay, no whip” if they order foam and if they ask i just tell them I can only do one or the other.

420catloveredm 3 points 2y ago

No. It doesn’t sit well and makes a mess. If someone insists you can actually get away with putting the whip in first and then pour the cold foam over the whip just let them know first.

Rea0flight 2 points 2y ago

If they don’t ask I add it on top just because I’m petty like that. KNOW WHAT YOURE ORDERING PEOPLE

csaine 49 points 2y ago

Had someone today wanted "oreo foam" Me: "I'm sorry sir, but that isn't one of our standard recipes so unless you know what goes in that I can't make it." Customer apparently to his passenger: "sorry baby they can't make that" I almost died laughing inside my head.

different_as_can_be 14 points 2y ago

i still don’t know what this is. bc i remember a cookies and cream cold brew someone shared on here last year with the irish cream so that’s all i remember. but apparently this got ordered this morning on my friends shift.

irritablegarlic 9 points 2y ago

apparently it’s VSCCF with the mocha cookie crumbles in it. I would never make it for a customer though.

different_as_can_be 15 points 2y ago

oh my guy i’ve been making it for myself without knowing it’s a thing and putting it with the irish cream and i gotta say. yummy. but no not making it for anyone else.

420catloveredm 3 points 2y ago

I’m gonna try this today

Cps093 7 points 2y ago

It’s 150ml of vsc 1 pump of white mocha and a crap ton of cookie crumbles blend on 4. I had a girl ask for it and i pretended i didn’t know the recipe so she just left lol

hummusheads 3 points 2y ago

I just had this the first time the other day too!!!! Was it sweet cream foam with the cookie crumble toppling mixed in???

csaine 2 points 2y ago

I honestly don't know, they didn't tell me a recipe so I didn't make it. Lol

plutonianpeach 2 points 2y ago

Lmao me telling the lady at the drive thru that we don’t have that and she just goes “oh that’s okay”

Emotional-Scene-477 18 points 2y ago

i will only allow it if they promote the standard ICED chai tea latte. a treasure.

plutonianpeach 2 points 2y ago

Everyone wants to put some kind of foam on it now 😭

SewOnAndSewForth 16 points 2y ago

Nah. They’re not gonna do that. Too many people buying $8-13 drinks now.

pizzaplatinum 14 points 2y ago

Alright, I like that idea, but what if terrible, and I mean terrible, drinks are released? Maybe that'll stem the flow?

Here's my bid, the Ghost Frappuccino

* Syrup Creme Frappuccino
* Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup
* No Milk, Sub Water
* Whip is optional
* Add Cafiza to become a ghost



boomshakalaka

ih8yogurt 2 points 2y ago

Whats cafiza?

pizzaplatinum 3 points 2y ago

It’s a cleaning tablet to clean out the espresso machines. Very toxic and industrial type stuff, it’s akin to drinking Drano or bleach.

ih8yogurt 1 points 2y ago

Ohhh i forget what it’s called at my store

cheesyqueen21 12 points 2y ago

Literally had to double blend a peach tea & lemonade with strawberry açaí on top just because the customer saw it on tiktok. 🙃

Samiixmarie 7 points 2y ago

All the cold foam drinks. “Here’s how to order a OREO COLD FOAM COLD BREW” 😥

plutonianpeach 3 points 2y ago

I want to fight those people lol. Like that should’ve been a secret between baristas.

Samiixmarie 3 points 2y ago

Seriously. Are likes on TikTok really worth making the lives of your fellow baristas more hellish? Traitors, I say. 😤😤

Arianasagapo 1 points 2y ago

My store doesn’t have mocha cookie crumble year round. *laughs in blessed*

Samiixmarie 1 points 2y ago

As you should 💅 I’ll never understand why the MCC isn’t seasonal 😐

Saradigm 6 points 2y ago

Absolutely. Don’t be a traitor!

[deleted] 5 points 2y ago

ih8yogurt 1 points 2y ago

The lemonade one I love because I don’t have to shake it

plutonianpeach 2 points 2y ago

And it’s pretty.

LilKaySigs 5 points 2y ago

Starbucks won’t do that. They make too much off the hype and the money from modifications

EeePeeTee 2 points 2y ago

I like to tell people that they are actually official drinks and then I give them a ridiculous name like "Jazz Hands" and a week later, they ask another barista for a Venti Jazz Hands. It makes the pain go away for a while.

cilantroprince 2 points 2y ago

wont happen simply bc the pink drink made this company millions (probably this white mocha with foam and carmel too 🙄)

Koalastars009 2 points 2y ago

Why don’t we all come up with a new drink called “an hour”. Because this drink cost more than I make in one hour. Seriously. Throw a shot in the recipe too!

zombiecabbage 1 points 2y ago

I hate that they just expect you to know too.

Can I have the Santa Claus frap? Can I have the Frankenstein frap?

Do you have the recipe?

No

Sorry, nope. Don’t know what that is. BYE.

Was I a good bot? | $1 | $1

cilantroprince 1 points 2y ago

but i feel you pal... during rush today a guy just sent back his “christmas tree frappechino” because the foam wasn’t red enough...

ih8yogurt 1 points 2y ago

Wtf is a Christmas tree frapp?

cilantroprince 1 points 2y ago

it included layering of matcha foam and purée foam and the purée foam was thicker than the matcha foam so the layers didn’t look even and he wasn’t happy

Arianasagapo 2 points 2y ago

Excuse me while I vomit.

ih8yogurt 2 points 2y ago

That sounds disgusting

darkwolf523 1 points 2y ago

I’m out.

meloscav 1 points 2y ago

Valid

ImSean2121 1 points 2y ago

I mean yeah it sucks but if you look at it from a business standpoint, it increases the average ticket by like almost a dollar.

ABVDRICEBV -22 points 2y ago

Serious inquiry: why are a lot of people so mad? It’s a customized drink, like every other drink we make. Is it extra, yes. Do we charge them extra, Yes. I just don’t see what the fuss is.

[deleted] 25 points 2y ago

I think it's bc people come in assuming every barista knows exactly what's in them, when asked they don't tell you all the ingredients and when it's finally done, some Karens still lose their shit cause it doesn't look exactly like the video.

[deleted] 20 points 2y ago

Personally idgaf how much they pay for the drink, because I don’t see any of it. I just don’t like that they expect everyone to know their “tiktok drink”.

The amount of times a customer said “give me the tiktok drink” and got mad when I said I don’t know what their talking about is ridiculous

NervosaNervous 12 points 2y ago

It’s when people come up and ask for a random made up name instead of just saying what they want. Like the “Strawberry Cheesecake Frappuccino” or the “Apple Pie Frappuccino”.
