If I'm asked about those fucking cups one more time.... (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Royal_Concentrate_00
Dear God, since we opened.

"Umm where is my cup?"

"When will the cups be back?"

"I bought my drink for the cup!"

"If we got the drink do we just come back and get the cup without having to get another drink?"

Starbucks and it's fucking entitled culture ffs

Why do you think your entitled to a free cup?

And more importantly why do you come after me as if I'm hoarding all these fucking things in the back?

I would love to give you the Holy Grail and get you the fuck out of my face - but I can't exactly pull one out of my ass and hand it to you

God I hate people... most, not all.

Currently writing this on my 10… some guy came in asking if we had them cause apparently he went to a local target and some lady bought literally ALL the red cups that tarbucks had. He said it was $300 worth of cups. It’s literally just a plastic red cup…since when is it worth people literally fighting over them?

what?? are you sure you’re not talking about the $20+ reusable cups (the pretty ones on shelves)? because if that target is handing out the grande sized hot red plastic cups then they’ve definitely missed an update

also wanted to add: someone came in at open today and bought $530 worth of cups, new and old

Unless all my co workers heard wrong, he said the red cups. Even if we all heard wrong still I don’t get it

Y’all didn’t hear about the Disney 50th anniversary cup x Starbucks where there was an actual brawl over? This is normal for every release… one person goes really early, sweeps the shelves, and resales them for $60 a pop. Leaving nothing for other people, it’s why the cup thing has gotten so bad, and it’s why they call so often… SOME (not all) baristas even get in on it and will sweep shelves in front of people waiting outside. It’s why some people will accuse baristas of hiding cups… it’s wrong to do so- but they think all barista’s do that after some experiences.

Starbucks wont step in about this but they should institute limits on the cups honestly at this point, for both baristas and their (not scalpers) customers.

We literally didn't get any merch. Just coffee. It's been fun to answer the phone
