This happened at my store years ago. The lady jumped the sidewalk and crashed her car right tf into our cafe, and she almost hit one of our regulars. If he hadn’t seen her coming out of the corner of his he he would’ve been seriously hurt.

The lady got out of her car and goes, “Oops!” meanwhile there’s glass and splintered wood everywhere. She sent us flowers a few days later to say sorry lol.

We had a car do that jump oops last month
She didn't cause structural damages but scared the shit out of everyone and herself

Omg how scary 😭
anonbiotch01 [OP] 53 points 1y ago
It is! I don't know what I'd do if that was my store
GrandOlFag 51 points 1y ago
I’ve seen more than a few local ‘car drives into building’ stories and have maybe chuckled a bit (assuming no serious injuries), but damn, I never really took a moment to really think about how terrifying that must be to witness until I saw this.
PhenomenalPhoenix 30 points 1y ago
In my city (this city this happened in), there have been quite a few “car hit building” incidents over the past few years. There was one year, there were so many, people started joking that “those damn buildings just keep jumping out in front of cars!”
anonbiotch01 [OP] 17 points 1y ago
Right? When I was in high school i was in a noodles and company with my sister and somebody hit it with their car as well! It happens so much here for some odd reason
betsylang 48 points 1y ago
Oh sweetheart! I'm so sorry. Don't forget to go to therapy and charge sbux for it!
And if you'll need hours 41st and c is here for you.
anonbiotch01 [OP] 32 points 1y ago
This isn't my store but your understanding is so sweet! I work at the 41st and S store. When i heard about the news I was shocked!
betsylang 7 points 1y ago
One of my kids is r good friends w one of the kids who was there today. It's do traumatizing!

BRO WHAT
Necessary_Low939 39 points 1y ago
…. Hope he gets sued. This is not just a oops I broke a mug type shit
lpablito 25 points 1y ago
Insurance is about to sky rocket
Necessary_Low939 5 points 1y ago
It better
Toomanyboringpeople 20 points 1y ago
OP said it was an older guy who had a medical emergency while driving, it was probably something he had no control over so yeah he probably will have to take some responsibility in form of insurance and stuff, but also I wouldn’t be too hard on him, he probably feels terrible about it
Necessary_Low939 4 points 1y ago
Ok I didn’t know.
coolsexysmartvirgo 3 points 1y ago
i see u on every post ur funny
Necessary_Low939 3 points 1y ago
😂🤪 thanks
TarantulaTeeth13 29 points 1y ago
Wow. So glad you guys are safe. Any idea of what happened? (Aside from the car crashing into the store, obvi)
anonbiotch01 [OP] 50 points 1y ago
From what I had heard, it was an older man that drove into the store, he had some medical emergency while driving
TarantulaTeeth13 9 points 1y ago
Hope he’s ok too!
Mr_SCPF 8 points 1y ago
Sucks to hear
PhenomenalPhoenix 29 points 1y ago
I live in the city this happened in and the article I read said that no baristas were injured, but some customers were and last I saw there was no update on how severe the injuries were

Edit: I just checked the article again and it says none of the injuries (customer’s, driver’s, or passenger’s) are life-threatening
darkwolf523 7 points 1y ago
There’s 1 partner that the article said was Injured but it wasn’t life threatening luckily.
PhenomenalPhoenix 5 points 1y ago
I must have missed that! Thank you for correcting that!
darkwolf523 2 points 1y ago
No problem!
LilKaySigs 20 points 1y ago
I’m sorry I couldn’t help but laugh at the ridiculousness of a hole in the wall with the “drive thru” sign
FrustratingBears 2 points 1y ago
same i felt so bad for laughing but the irony of the sign caught me so off guard

whoever took that picture knew EXACTLY what they needed to be in the frame lmao
xthefabledfox 10 points 1y ago
that's horrifying. for the people who were hurt and the partners who had to witness it!! i'm curious what happened with the driver and how this happened

edit: just read it was a medical emergency.. jeez... what a horrible situation for everyone involved
MrRisstopher 9 points 1y ago
They took Drive Thru to a whole other level.
goofyforefinger89 8 points 1y ago
insurance = 📈📈📈
nghtmrafterxmas 7 points 1y ago
Someone took the drive-thru a little too seriously.

Joking aside, I'm glad the baristas are okay, I can't believe what a fucking idiot that driver was tho. There is no excuse for willingly doing something like that where they could've killed someone.

Edit: My apologies, I did not see the other comment about it being a medical emergency
angelic-hellhound 6 points 1y ago
I saw another comment about how it was an elderly man suffering from a medical emergency that caused him to crash into the building
nghtmrafterxmas 1 points 1y ago
Oh yikes, hopefully he's okay too, I'm glad it wasn't intentional
anonbiotch01 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
I don't think it was. He was an older gentleman so I think he has some medical emergency :(

“CARAMEL FRAPPE!”

I said I want to talk to the manager....
ProfessionalRock7940 4 points 1y ago
Omfg our store was open not even a month and a drunk driver hit the front door at like 1am looool. We were drive through only for a few months 😂
easymachtdas 3 points 1y ago
It’s a diy drive through! One trick drivethroughless businesses don’t want you to know about x))
mraybowwwlz 2 points 1y ago
oh they really drove thru
Peabella 2 points 1y ago
Why is this so common. This disturbs me.
Punloverrrr 2 points 1y ago
"The line was too long so I took a short cut!"
nonogender 2 points 1y ago
what is it with cars driving into starbucks? this happened a few months ago at a starbucks near me as well.
itsjordanlmao 2 points 1y ago
Ong!!! I’m glad everyone is alright but wow who the hell was driving lmao
Slow_Truth8 2 points 1y ago
I could have been in line, waiting on my iced venti chai.

“Sorry I missed the speaker can I order here?”
BuckyBearns 1 points 1y ago
Did they let you close?

Also hope everyone is okay.
mama_bibi 1 points 1y ago
Where is this?
chynaparks 1 points 1y ago
perfect time for the renovation they keep delaying!
RutabagaSoft1973 1 points 1y ago
When the store runs out of white mocha

"This is not what we meant by drive thru sir"
CalDoesMaths 1 points 1y ago
Something like this happened here recently (thankfully not to us) but a restaurant just a few doors down. Shit is terrifying to hear and see. Really hoping nobody was seriously injured.
herpaslurp 1 points 1y ago
I mean he drove through where the arrows were
PixelBlood02 1 points 1y ago
How does this happen
anonbiotch01 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
The man driving was older, but its weird because the way he crashed through the building isnt right on the road, and it's almost perpendicular to it.
PixelBlood02 2 points 1y ago
I saw from the original picture! Is this store at an intersection because if so that would explain the perpendicularity
anonbiotch01 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
It's near an intersection, but maybe a couple hundred or so feet after it
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago
Dude this happened at my last store. Freaky!

sero5074 1 points 1y ago
I hope everyone is ok. How scary!!!
TheFriendlyFeminist 1 points 1y ago
Is everyone ok???
anonbiotch01 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Well there were 9 injured. But i think so far everyone doesn't have life threatening injuries, don't quote me though. I'll keep you updated
TheFriendlyFeminist 1 points 1y ago
Omg that’s terrifying
kdoggwatchestv 1 points 1y ago
That’s awful. I hope no one was hurt 😢
[deleted] 1 points 1y ago
That’s wild I hope everyone was okay
gsselph 1 points 1y ago
This must be a trend. Our store got a remodel a few years ago because someone drove into it…
Yannieegee 1 points 1y ago
That’s honestly so scary 🥺

im sorry but the partner screaming made me laugh
anonbiotch01 [OP] 2 points 1y ago
Yeah that's kind of weird to say

This is why we need a union /s
darkwolf523 1 points 1y ago
Ah yes. A union can stop people from ramming into a Starbucks.
MiaLedger -1 points 1y ago
How's a union gonna stop someone from plowing their car into the building?
