To the barista who works at a San Diego location, I’m sorry I threw up on you today. (self.starbucksbaristas)

submitted by PARADlSE

Basically as the title says. I went in as usual to get my iced coffee and I was hoping you wouldn’t be there because i low-key crush on you.

I saw my mobile order wasn’t ready yet so I stood there in the waiting area with my eyes glued to the ceiling and floor, avoiding contact with your angelic face at every turn. At last, you called my name and I feebly approached. You asked if you had put enough cream in the coffee and that you always try to get it just right since I frequent your store so often.

Hearing words more than just “have a great day” lit my world up. But it was too much excitement. My stomach sunk, then suddenly bounced back up and along with that my breakfast did too as it proceeded to cover the counter top and your hand.

I am so sorry. I will probably never enter your location again. I just hope that the smell of my chorizo and eggs washed off easily.

Honestly, they were legally required to shut down for Hazmat to come clean so you really just gave everyone a break for a few hours.

elsha007 82 points 2y ago

I highly doubt that the store closed for cleaning. Back in January, a man died in the store that I worked, vomiting a lot in the process. My SM refused to close the store and hire someone to come clean up. She didn't make any of us do it, but mopped it all up herself. I think she used all of the bathroom cleaner in the process. It was a really fucked up day.

Oh boy did this escalate

tbch9 41 points 2y ago

Holy fuck. I have so many questions. How did she get around not calling in a cleaning crew, would you not have to report a death in your store?? Oh boy.

elsha007 16 points 2y ago

I honestly have no idea.

Koalastars009 11 points 2y ago

This needs its own post! Also does it feel haunted?

smilygirrl12 5 points 2y ago

I'm convinced every store has a ghost. We have one at my store now and my last store.

cancel94 10 points 2y ago

Actually coffee grounds do a great job soaking up the liquid and making the smell go away

FelicityCecilia 1 points 2y ago

Why would you call hazmat for just a bit of vomit? Thats excessive, just clean it up kids vomit all the time vomit is a natural bodily function

[deleted] 2 points 2y ago

I’ve never worked in a store that carried hazmat cleaning supplies. You can’t just spray a little restroom cleaner on it and call it a day. Maybe it’s a local health code thing but if someone vomits in the public area of our cafe, we have to shut it down.

FelicityCecilia 1 points 2y ago

Shutting down the store for 15-30 minutes while yall clean sounds fine to me.. but a whole hazmat squad??

[deleted] 2 points 2y ago

It’s literally a service that sends a cleaning person that has hazmat training and hazmat approved cleaning chemicals. I’m not talking about like full body suit PPE and tenting the building.

I would laugh but how could you throw up on someone when you’re wearing a mask 🤔

imnavi 36 points 2y ago

Also, aren’t the chorizo sandwiches discontinued???

beingalivesux 30 points 2y ago

they didn’t mentioning ordering a Starbucks sandwich. chorizo & eggs is a common breakfast meal 😅

baileyjane- 54 points 2y ago

There’s no way this happened

[deleted] 10 points 2y ago

Seems fishy too me. If not just incredibly cringy.

TheBayesianBandit 9 points 2y ago

Also if this is true why wasn’t he wearing a mask. Around here I haven’t seen anybody in public indoors without one since June.

smilygirrl12 2 points 2y ago

Love how the OP hasn't commented about the mask at all.. totally agree it can't be real

AstaraelGateaux 42 points 2y ago

It sounds like you might have a severe anxiety disorder, friend <3 Talk to a professional if you can!

[deleted] 23 points 2y ago

Did they shut the store down? We had a guy with a disability poop himself one time in our store and we had to shut down cause it went everywhere cause it was summer and he was wearing loose shorts.

You should go back in there and laugh it off with them. I’m sure they feel horrible about it and they know you must be so embarrassed!

aubriesage 21 points 2y ago

come again? 😀

aubriesage 10 points 2y ago

kidding, hope your coffee was really good tho

PARADlSE [OP] 8 points 2y ago

It did wash the vomit down quite well

aintdeadyetmf 13 points 2y ago

ppl that can't hold their vomit in to find a trash or bathroom or anywhere that isn't near a person rlly infuriate me. kids are an exception ofc but if ur a grown ass man and u just like right where u are despite feeling all those building up to vomit feelings, you're disgusting. if a customer threw up on the counter and it got on my hand as op said. i 100% would cuss them out and probably get sick myself trying to clean it off. it's just so disgusting. esp since it's just a stranger too

snarkysnape 27 points 2y ago

Well there’s no way this is real so don’t feel too badly for the “barista”.

aintdeadyetmf 5 points 2y ago

oh 100% this didn't happen. just in general tho i despise the type of ppl who can't be courteous enough to puke in the nearest trash can

Nohandlebarista 8 points 2y ago

Everyone can't always do that. Yeah it's gross but sometimes it just abruptly happens, no time to find a trashcan

aintdeadyetmf 0 points 2y ago

the floor tho. puke on the floor not towards someone. i wouldn't be upset if they told me they had no control over it obviously but i feel like u can at least not puke in the general direction of another person

ih8yogurt 2 points 2y ago

I have autism.... I don’t always know when I’m about to vomit... sometimes I get lucky and I can feel the feelings but most of the time it just happens. And I’m not “obviously” autistic because I act extremely neurotypical

aintdeadyetmf 1 points 2y ago

have u ever puked on someone else ?

ih8yogurt 1 points 2y ago

Unfortunately......

I try to avoid it if I know it’s about to happen but most of the time by the time I realize I have to puke it’s too late

aintdeadyetmf 1 points 2y ago

i'm so sorry you have to deal w that it must be frustrating. i hope whomever it was wasn't too upset abt it since it's not something u can control. i take it for granted that i can sense it beforehand i guess

BeardiesRule112 13 points 2y ago

Your day can only go up from here (no pun intended).

3aTroop 12 points 2y ago

Still a better love story than Twilight

golden_pinky 7 points 2y ago

You took your mask off to throw up? I mean make up a better story my dude.

PARADlSE [OP] -7 points 2y ago

Dang you must be fun at parties

TheInfiniteEgg 3 points 2y ago

Try harder.

ih8yogurt 1 points 2y ago

So..... it was a fake story?

Cignus777 7 points 2y ago

Taylor the latte boy, bring me vomit, bring me joy. Taylor the latte boy, puked on him puked on him puked on hiiiiim.

bang_ended_scoots 6 points 2y ago

Yeah online training modules say that they have to get professional cleaners for stuff like that.

But anyway that’s kind of endearing actually..... oh to be in love

perfecktenschlog 2 points 2y ago

real or not this made me laugh

AvoFromCado 2 points 2y ago

I can’t tell if I love this or if I wish I hadn’t ever seen it

Hyrokoyo923 1 points 2y ago

Definitely go back lol it could open the door to possibly more conversation! You'd be surprised lol

StormTheParade 1 points 2y ago

PARADlSE [OP] 2 points 2y ago
