Lmao is anyone else getting REALLY sick of the tiktok drinks(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Chemical-Less
Being in the middle of a rush and having to either punch in an overly customized order or worse, try to make sense of and MAKE one of these obscene drinks is beginning to get really old, especially when the order holds up the bar because I'm wrapped up trying to make something that couldn't be translated easily to the cup.
It's especially annoying when these people constantly send back their drinks-- because they don't look exactly like the stupid tik tok video advertised! (I had someone throw a fit because their drink didn't form the "gradient" they wanted in the middle of a huge rush and I felt like I was gonna die.) and for what? Just so they can post it and get clout??
Does anyone else feel like tiktok has made their lives much harder at work? I for one am absolutely sick of putting cold foam on everything

I’ll never forgive TikTok for popularizing a drink that requires cold and hot bar simultaneously.

You guys can try doing what we do.... We don’t offer remakes on “secret menu” beverages. Only core beverages.
Since we are actually trained on those and have official recipe cards to reference.

If only dude. There's no way that would fly at my store.

Nope, we have to "make the moment right" even if we can't guarantee these tiktok monstrosities

I love this! Thank you for the idea!

I sometimes report them to Starbucks social media team because baristas aren’t allowed to film on the floor. Yes I’m petty

For real!!! F@#K cold foam 😒
NervosaNervous23 points2y ago
Cold foam does not belong on every damn drink.
IHearThat8119 points2y ago
It suuure don't! Why are you spending 5-6$ for an iced white mocha, when what you obviously want is 518 grams of sugar, on ice. Added cold foam, caramel drizzle, vanilla sweet cream....OH and 2 Splenda 🤔🙄🤣
NervosaNervous6 points2y ago
What I can’t stand is when people get it on frapps. The texture difference is upsetting.

Are you telling me adding an unnecessary amount of cold foam to lemonades and going out of our way to explain we don’t know the secret menu isn’t exhilarating? It just fills me with joy head to toe

“Can i have an iced white mocha?” I’ve already punched in cold foam and caramel drizzle.
