his poor coworkers having to pick up the slack whenever he makes his tiktoks tho… i know they hate him 🫢
Hot-Independence8670197 points7m ago
no because in every video his coworkers are slaving away in the background i’m like i know this is during a peak
FrozenZenBerryYT14 points7m ago
That the shift managers fault then for not shutting it down.
jareddlol2 points7m ago
I heard that he makes his vids after he clocks out
junkiechurches4 points7m ago
funny thing is, a friend of mine actually works with him and this is all true 😭 everyone there is so tired of him LMAO apparently people even come into the store and recognize him and ask for pictures and everything LMAO
honeybunchesofmia246 points7m ago
there’s nothing more i want in this life then for him to get fired
clee1221209 points7m ago
Sorry, but if I’m play caller like you’re going to DTR ALEX
jams1015121 points7m ago
Yup, I'd keep this asshole off bar 100% of the time.
BeardiesRule11249 points7m ago
Nah, solo DT.
AriSchmana171 points7m ago
Where is his manager or ssv? No phones on the floor! Give him a write up. Ssv start sending him home when he does this and document the events. If we follow the standards, he wouldn’t still be posting these nightmare drink while also getting paid. He’ll either stop doing this and be a supportive partner or be separated.
I can’t stand his “creations”. Ugh!
ob3ron4255 points7m ago
Yeah, but he gets millions of views and people buy the drinks so sadly corporate won't say shit.
greenChainsaws56 points7m ago
corporate doesnt need to. his SSVs need to grow a pair
Imaginarybluntallday6 points7m ago
The SSVs can do all they want to “retaliate” but unless the SM or DM actually want to change the precedent, it won’t matter.
black_cat_crossing2 points7m ago
Guarantee you if they tried he'd throw a hissy fit online and send a flurry of fans to harass them, sadly.
MrZeLlama20 points7m ago
Every store I've worked at allows phones on the floor
BitchyNordicBarista9 points7m ago
It’s the rule they use to term people who otherwise do nothing wrong. I’ve seen it happen a few times in my day
KaoriLikesWatari8 points7m ago
lol thought it was just me like. As long as you’re not ALWAYS on it, and contributing to the floor, it’s fine
Torirock10111 points7m ago
i feel like these ppl r secretly hired by corporate to make the most expensive shitty drinks ever. cuz it’s crazy they don’t get fired for this
ElevatorsAreScary80 points7m ago
I’m positive that’s what’s going on here. Starbucks has strict rules about social media. He’s for sure part of a social media team
chinksauces86 points7m ago
are his coworkers not reporting him recording during working hours?
kaitoblade55 points7m ago
He records when’s he off the clock which shouldn’t be allowed
jams1015126 points7m ago
He shouldn't be behind the bar, using equipment, when he's off the clock. His managers and shifts are failing at their jobs, but there's no accountability for management, so.
chinksauces46 points7m ago
Literally this.
Like I’m not one to be a stickler for rules, but since he’s making content like this, yeah rules should apply here.
Expecto_nihilus5 points7m ago
I mean, that’s basically all Starbucks really. Rules only apply as much as the SM and DM want them to.
defendpoppunk7729 points7m ago
Off the clock with the headset on?
CalculatedAF63 points7m ago
I FUCKING HATE HIM
WallyBBunny42 points7m ago
Same. Someone wanted me to make one of his dumb drinks by showing me the tik tok of it. Dude, we’re already short staffed, just show me a list of the ingredients or get something else because I am not wasting time watching a whole ass video. I swear, we should get tips added on automatically on any transactions with elaborate tik tok drinks. 😑
CalculatedAF3 points7m ago
or when the army of children show up and order 30 traps that are all super complex and get upset when their 30 venti traps took almost an ho to make
MLGTheForkOnTheLeft49 points7m ago
What is he? Nevermind. I dont care anymore. Looks obnoxious in all honesty. You can see his coworker in the back working, and hes making a video. Thats kinda says it all i assume.
caitlin_marie_gg36 points7m ago
hes a tiktok barista (speaks for itself) and posts the craziest time consuming drinks
Klutzy_Channel111442 points7m ago
He is literally sponsored by Starbucks. He works at a store in Chicago. Notice how his apron is never dirty. He never looks disheveled
Solid_Wish38 points7m ago
He doin too much when they already out of oatmilk (peep the chiobani).
Hyperioncorp1 points7m ago
some locations just get shipped chobani instead! i work in the midwest and we’ve been getting sent chobani since the oatly shortage, they never ended up switching us back
egirlpiss37 points7m ago
the way he once opened a chai tea bag and poured the leaves into a pitcher and steamed it😍
Perfect-Leadership5822 points7m ago
i tried this 😐😐 wouldn’t recommend
eyveggg35 points7m ago
He is basura. 🚮
darkwolf52333 points7m ago
No fuck him. I think my mental health increase after his drinks
Praxlyn26 points7m ago
I want him fired soooo badly 😭
turtle_sandwich_25 points7m ago
Was working at the warming station yesterday and my shift was on front trying to sort through one of this tools custom drinks. Before I caught myself, I said loud enough for all to hear”yeah, I genuinely hate that guy” The customer was a mom with her two kids who were obviously there on a fun outing and the mom was somewhere between surprised and sad that I would say that. I let them chat for another minute before apologizing for the pointed honesty, but I was personally surprised at how honest it felt. Bit later in the back, some coworkers asked if I was upset (apparently my face still showed it) and I gave them an expletive laced rundown. My pet peeves are: self aggrandizing narcissists and people who make the lives of others more difficult while they boost their own self image. This guy checks both boxes. In short, (language inbound), Fuck. That. Guy. and his stupid drinks. /rant : )
jdanger178320 points7m ago
I have a rule that I’ve only had to enforce once (fully supported by sm and most baristas); if I see you recording yourself making a drink your phone goes in the safe or you go home.
satisfiedjelly6 points7m ago
I say not in a safe because I can be dangerous But definitely being told to put it away like in your bag and if that doesn’t work, then bring up the ultimatum
champshere18 points7m ago
Someone should frame him.
LecLurc156 points7m ago
Bro doesn’t even need to be framed he just needs to be reported to higher ups lmao
HappyJos14 points7m ago
I have so many questions, cause man work just haven't been it lately 😫
Traditional-Emu-140313 points7m ago
If he were at my store it would be on sight 😂 we all see his name on the screenshots these customers bring in and cringe
pastelldillann11 points7m ago
i just know his coworkers hate him 💀
sten454 points7m ago
One of them has to be on here
pastelldillann2 points7m ago
I need them to reveal themselves and give 👏🏻 us 👏🏻the 👏🏻tea
Hazel_is_Trans10 points7m ago

xEman26x9 points7m ago
It doesn’t help that his face is very slappable
marigshu9 points7m ago
The worst person ever
majik_rose7 points7m ago
Stg we need a megathread or separate subreddit dedicated to barista hate on this man I want to destroy him
littlekatie37 points7m ago
Tiktok is killing Starbucks. Someone ordered a Harry Potter drink the other day.
-Zispy7 points7m ago
Lmaoo I keep getting his videos recommended to me! I see him everywhere... and all of his drinks look atrocious.
minimonkey254 points7m ago
Yes! I get customers come into my store (in the UK) seeing his videos on American based drinks and they ask for it and we don’t have half the stuff. Once this mum started screaming at me in front of all the customers saying “how dare I refuse to give her daughter the drink she asked” I then had to explain that for us to abide by the law, that means we can’t have some of the drinks that they have in America because of the calories, sugar quantity and calories quantity maximum limit that we have. Also had to explain that because of the limits we don’t have a Trenta size and that the largest we did was Venti. I did show the girl a person who makes drink that are allowed in the UK so she was happy but damn that was one hell of a day. I’m just lucky my manager let me have a few minutes to calm down otherwise I would’ve been extremely tense for the rest of my shift.
peepeepoopaccount4 points7m ago
he has pretty privilege, he wouldn’t get away with these videos if he were ugly lol
ecew4 points7m ago
On a different note when did Starbucks switch to chobani oat milk? When I worked there it was oatly or something
TheSaltySpitoon-_-9 points7m ago
I work in the Denver area and we have been using, and getting sent, chobani instead of oatley 🤷♀️ been that way for a few months now
malik445 [OP]7 points7m ago
the store he works at probably just ran out of oatmilk
xylasphone3 points7m ago
i’m in colorado and they started sending us chobani instead oatly
lilminch2 points7m ago
We're using Chobani at a store in Illinois and we have been for months now, someone in this thread said he works at a Chicago store
okaynicejob1 points7m ago
Oatly constantly has storages so a lot of shops are switching
majik_rose1 points7m ago
My store in the Midwest also uses it
Twiggboi3 points7m ago
fuck this guy
molwalk3 points7m ago
I want to beat him with a stick
saddestgirl19953 points7m ago
I hate him!!!!!!!!!
Gameb0i63 points7m ago
I hate him!
witchwitha-b2 points7m ago
My friend is friends with him and unfortunately he is not a corporate hire
kpoplionking2 points7m ago
I know he's just trying to have fun but he probably slows the entire place down and his coworkers probably cringe when they see him recording 😭 The influence he's had on customers is the worst part because the rest of us have to make these ungodly drinks
Nodecafsir2 points7m ago
Can someone share his IG? Just for a science 👀
Hot-Temperature-46291 points7m ago
Corporate shill
Spicychemist111 points7m ago
every time i see his vids im just like what kind of creep smiles while pouring milk 😭
starbucksbarist281 points7m ago
Literallt
Koalastars0091 points7m ago
So there’s two things we can do. We can spam report his TikTok account to get it taken down by the app. Or we can steal every drink idea he has and repost it. And claim credit for the idea
JustKam3471 points7m ago
Who is he? Like what’s his @?
SunBusiness82911 points7m ago
He is Starbucks supported or this wouldn't be happening.
hmarie07161 points7m ago
I wanna beat him up every time I clock in
lilkiosk1 points7m ago
I see his stupid smile on my Instagram explore page and I immediately am filled with rage
RedDeadGurl1 points7m ago

Someone tell me his name so I can see what he is doing that triggers everyone lol
hmarie07161 points7m ago
It’s all of his drink recipes. They’re soooo time consuming. Corporate wants us to have faster times, but it’s literally impossible because everyone, their mom, their grandma, their aunt, EVERYONE wants to try this guy’s drink recipes.
thechamelioncircuit1 points7m ago
Didn’t this dude get fired

IndustrySerious0 points7m ago
Not me making the s’mores frap that he posted last week, it was good. I don’t mind making drinks like that for customers but only if we’re not in a rush!
MixAway-53 points7m ago
Lots of jealous people wishing they’d started doing this 😁🫣
Hyperioncorp34 points7m ago
pretty sure none of us want to be “tiktok baristas” and make shifts complicated for other baristas but hey, what do i know
hmarie07161 points7m ago
We’re literally being pressured by all of our bosses to have faster drive thru times, but it’s impossible when people make several requests for one drink. I’ll make the drinks, but don’t expect me to be able to have faster wait times. Especially because Frappuccinos already take 1 minute minimum to make, and our drive thru time averages are expected to be 45 seconds. This is why we dislike him. Bc the more people ask for, the longer it’s gonna take. And the higher the drive thru times, the more our bosses and corporate want to be up our butts fussing about the times.
