TikTok drink rant (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Kyenne_Pepper123
To all the baristas who “create” TikTok drinks, please stop. I feel like I can speak for a lot of people when I say that a majority of us are tired of it. Yes it is out job to make customers happy, but I’m tired of people asking for these drinks and not know what’s in them. As a barista, why are you making fellow baristas jobs more difficult? Like why?
For customers who order TikTok drinks, there is no drink on our menu called a “TikTok drink”, if you do not have a recipe for it we can not make it. No you can not play me the video, especially while you are in the drive thru. Yes the drink will be more expensive because we have to charge you for additional add ins. Things like syrups, drizzles, purée, non dairy milk and other things cost extra. So if your drink cost and extra $2-$3, don’t get mad and say we rung you up wrong, trust me, we didn’t. And if you order 5 of them for the people in your car, yes the total is going to be $25+ after tax, no matter what size you get. Also, some of your drinks will take a while to be made, especially if they’re layered drinks.

The answer to “why” is simply the TikTok creator fund. If they can get 10,000 followers and 10,000 views in 30 days, they can monetize their videos.

Took a call at the store the other day, of a sassy child, probably about aged 9-12, asking for a “Peppa Pig drink because it’s trending right now. “ I don’t know, nor do I want to know what that is. Can we stop?

A peppa pig drink sounds like some sort of pork smoothie

I remember when the Ariana-inspired cloud drinks first came out...someone ordered one, took a few pictures of it, then tossed it into the trash on their way out the door. Congrats on throwing $8 away

I hate when people show me the picture of the drink on their phone LIKE THEY CANT ORDER WHATS ON THE STICKER BUT IF I REACH FOR THEIR PHONE TO SEE WHATS ON IT THEY PULL IT BACK. Someone deadass showed me a picture to order a strawberries and cream frap with caramel drizzle. Or a vanilla sweet cream cold brew with extra caramel drizzle. 🥴

Personally I think it’s straight from corporate. I doubt a barista would do that but would put money on corporate creating hype over some expensive nonsense.

That does make sense but I feel like barista would do that during their shift because our drink is free while we work so we don’t bother to think about how much a drink is
