You can get fired for doing this btw. The only thing saving her is the fact its a licensed store.

Yeah I know, I told her that but she was just like “I don’t have to follow the same policies as corporate stores” and imma just send a link over of the social media policies
LatteMaster 17 points 2y ago
Thats her way of saying “I could care less” as corporate has not as much influence over her and her store wont fire her over when they cant locate more baristas. Corporate needs to crack down on tiktok baristas imo. They are literally selling corporate info for profit in the form of views. And the ones that arent shouldnt be filming at work anyways.

Yeah I agree. Some of my coworkers and I joke around that we’re gonna start a YouTube channel and we take pictures of pretty drinks but that’s about it bc we know we can’t post anything.

It’s so frustrating when they post things like a new drink, bc it puts us into a weird position where we have to tell people we don’t have a drink yet. People in that comment section had found out where she works and I think contacted them and I hope she gets fired tbh lol

Highly unlikely that she will get fired, tbh the only way tiktok drinks will stop is if the company enforces a strict ban on posting non released drinks online.

It looks like she deleted the video just now lol

what was the original video, if you don't mind explaining?
moon_light523 [OP] 10 points 2y ago
It was someone using the funnel cake new syrup that we’re going to be getting. She made the frap it’s gonna be used for (she actually made it wrong lol) and then was getting offended when people were saying she made it wrong and that she can get fired for posting about it
a-plasticine-dream 2 points 2y ago
ah. yeah, I never understood why baristas would show off complicated drinks. like, it's just going to make our lives harder!
moon_light523 [OP] 3 points 2y ago
It’s actually a new drink that’s going to be launched for summer from what I understand
moon_light523 [OP] 3 points 2y ago
I saved the video so I can add it
a-plasticine-dream 1 points 2y ago

Probably corporate telling her to do so.
moon_light523 [OP] 2 points 2y ago
Maybe, I think it could have been that but she was also getting a lot of people telling her that she was going to get fired and stuff like that
LatteMaster 2 points 2y ago
Considering its selling the companies secrets they could also sue the hell out of her lol
moon_light523 [OP] 1 points 2y ago
That’s so true lmao I honestly wish they would but it’s sad that they probably wouldn’t
