A large number of our customers dont view us as humans. That is why they feel like they can say anything to us because they think that we fear the almighty siren gods and terrified to lose our jobs cowering like scared mice. Thats also why they scream at us that their drink is incorrect even tho they didnt ask for a specific thing because starbucks breeds and encourages this type of behavior. People throw money at us when paying for their order instead of handing it to us. You can greet people at the register and say "hello how are u" and some people don't even say a simple "hi"...they just go on with ordering "yea gimme a...."
And so for this lady to say "no tip for u guys" on her way out probably made her feel so high within herself because people like her think that we give a shit about that ignorant statement and they think we are bended at the knee in front of them with hands out in front, begging for their change and for food lol. Nobody gives a shit that u didnt feel like tipping today asshat. U just had to make it known that ur a rude person lol go right ahead. But normal people that dont wana tip just walk out without verbally showing everyone that theyre an asshole

I’m gonna be real with you about something. I’ve been in the service industry for the last twelve years, ever since I was 16. I’ve worked in kitchens, coffee shops, amusement park concession stands, restaurants, grocery stores, food warehouses, name a job that deals with food and I’ve probably worked it.
I’ve been with Starbucks since March of 2021 and even after all these years in different jobs, I can say without hesitation that Starbucks has the stupidest, nastiest, childish, most illiterate, and most entitled customer base out of any job I’ve ever had. I’m actually disgusted every single day by some people’s behavior when they come to my store. Every single day I contemplate why I still work here and what led me to feeling like I can’t go and look for another job. I’ve got extremely thick skin, not much at all really ever gets to me, but I’m developing actual mental health and anger issues that I can realistically attribute to this job because of how abhorrent and inhumane our customers are. I don’t know what it is about our stupid sugary coffee flavored milk and wannabe milkshakes that cause people to turn their brains off and lose all sense of their sanity, but goddamn these people suck.
