Starbucks Employee EXPOSES Disturbing Drinks, Gets FIRED After Viral Post 

Hiiiiiiii

Hiiiii

Im good thxs tho

No.

Hey Spill, have you ever had the D'Amelio?

Agreed. A girl in the drive thru window at the Starbucks I work in had a drink thrown at her and it gave her bad burns. She had to go to the hospital.

@@johndoe4110 is she doing better? What happened to the customer?

Right, I love the Starbucks we go to twice a month, I have very much respect for the baristas who treat my sister and I with such respect and kindness. We definitely add extras to our drink, and ask for add-ons but not too overboard. Because of this we always make sure to leave a tip, they take such amazing care of us every single time.

Exactly

@@johndoe4110 is she ok? Please tell me the customer got the police called on them.

Hi big fan

Ye

OMG EARLY TO *THE* just some guy without a moustache

I found you again?

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

exactly 👏

That goes both ways, we shouldn’t be saying “don’t order this even though you’re gonna pay for it” we should say “pay the workers more and treat them better”

"If you don't like your job, quit" is usually said by someone who's never worked on a job they don't like without any funds to sustain themselves during the period when they're looking for a new job. Or someone who's never had health issues preventing them from finding a temporary job at a shop or place like that. So I do hope they do all of this themselves if someone actually quits from a job.

that won't happen, people desperate for money will always exist, not to mention low wage immigrants as well as the rise in technology (self service counters etc)

Yeah those karens

@@fijardim7 right

Not even manners. How would they feel if the rolls were reversed or how would you feel as a parent if someone yelled at your kid like you do. People just don’t think!

@@fijardim7 Oh so you think all gen z is shy and have anxiety. Theres millions of kid in this earth. You think all are same. Sorry if im harsh but you seem like you dont know reality.

What the heck? Why are people even throwing drinks?!

@@blueraineee exactly like why are you acting like a child over a Starbucks drink?, we have so many people throw fits over everything especially with the shortages

@@lennyfacem8te721 That's no way.. It could be a culture thing.. People don't throw drinks (or at least it is not a common thing where I am). It's considered rude and also be considered an act where they can be sued.

The next time that occurs if it’s possible anyway(or if it seems like it’s going to happen) maybe get a video of it happening. So you have proof especially if someone gets hurt. Cause I’m fairly certain that could be assault if they get burns(I’m assuming you guys might have if it’s hot coffee)

I saw someone ask for 6 ice cubes in their drink and then freak out - I yelled at them because the barista could not. I told them to make it at home if they needed it so specific.

I DIED TOO

@Viper holy it does

I feel the same way for online orders at Subway normally a catering platter is 4-6 sandwiches and it has to be notified in advance but we get online orders for 4-9 sandwiches and people expected in the next hour. What's worse is they're outside ordering as well. SMH 😅. It gets pretty overwhelming especially when we're short staff.

Ikr

i would make them myself~! ofc they wouldn't hire me though every time i apply for a job they don't except me

@@courtneycherry5582 worked in a quick serve place before. ppl coming in during the lunch or breakfast rush ordering for the whole office then get mad when it takes time to fill the order, as if we always have under 2 dozen of ABC that they want just ready made and waiting. Once 1 lady asked for a lot of bacon, I mean A LOT we refused because that was taking all of our bacon we had cooked atm so other customers wouldn't have any (we were low due to shortage). She got mad and stormed off. We didn't mind because it's better to lose 1 customer over 1 big order of bacon than several others over several smaller orders of bacon. Besides a grocery store was around the corner she could've gotten a pack for less money and more quantity.

I don’t buy drinks from Starbucks but if I ever did and if I ever asked for a custom drink I would give them a big tip knowing that they don’t get paid a lot

I have a feeling that girl never worked a job in her life…

Like everyone else. They are here to survive and get paid until they decide to leave and find something, a job that they really love. I know the struggle 😭

"You'll do the work, smile, and thank me! I don't care if you're just a college kid making minimum wage! You should feel HoNoReD!"

@@FanFickChick1992 omg yes these vibes exactly.

Like, how many people really love their job tho.. Excluding youtuber, influencer, streamer, I can estimate less than 30% of people that actually love their job

I was thinking the same thing. Who tips people in non-sit in restaurants? I had in my time working food a single tip from a foreigner who I don't think understood tipping. We were super busy so I didn't have time to explain and just excepted and continued rushing around trying to clear the lines.

It's the white girl privilege for me. She has no clue.

They leave tips at least at my store. The problem are this ridiculous customers with no self respect . I don't mind to do a big combination of I gredients for a drink. If I treat with respect I demand the same. I'm not garbage , I'm the person doing Ur favourite drink. If u have any problem with the drink, just tell me in a polite way and ill remake it for you without any problem.minum wage ? At least is a job that pays my bills. I have a BMW, I pay my rent and I can tell at the end of the month I still can buy the things I like. Respect doesn't come from how much money u earn in a job, respect comes from home.

Even if they do give "big tips" they most likely not allowed to keep it. My sister worked at a bunch of fast food restaurants and whenever she got tipped, she needed to give them to the house.

They leave a big tips it's Red River does see anyone tip at Starbucks.

That’s amazing. I wanna go try and see if I get the same response, but I think Starbucks is disgusting. Seattle coffee all the way!

Ikr

In my experience, people operating from a bad faith position rarely bother thinking their demands through to their logical conclusion.

it's like saying "just don't spend money if you're broke" 😔🥱

Saying ppl that could basically still live without issues of they got no job.

Right

i don’t care

@@oh.6879 no one asked if you did

@@oh.6879 are you actually okay man?

Or Starbucks can put in a happy hour that costumers are allowed to make crazy orders and Starbucks can also have more staff working at that time

I agree

Yeah, it’s basically a “tell me you’re rich without telling me you’re rich”.

Yeah and I want that person to receive a fair wage and have a job that incentivizes employees to develop a passion and enjoyment for what they do, unfortunately this is Starbucks. So your barista is just trying to make your sugar high fast enough to not get chewed out by their supervisor….

This. If they want that kind of service they can go to an artisinal coffee house and spend $15 on their custom coffee. Not a fast food joint where the barista's are just trying to survive.

That line weirded me out too, the entitlement. Yuck.

Some people definitely do it for online clout, I bet the order doesn’t even taste good 💀

@@rosed1481 it's literally all sugar, people would get tired of it halfway and just throw it

If someone wants a customized drink that not to mention the restaurant SPECIALIZES in custom orders they can order it

@@rosed1481 they prov do it to post on insta like 'I just woke up, got my starbucks!' Then throw it away right after cuz they just do it for the aesthetics

Also I don't order custom drinks not even one custom thing.

Things like five bananas in one drink is just stupidity.

Right like if you see a place is crowded and understaffed take that into account when ordering

I was just wondering, what place did you use to work at? I don’t mind if you don’t answer for privacy reasons.

@@sarasullivan4897 that’s the part the bugged me the most. There’s no way 5 bananas is gonna fit in that cup and half of that drink or more is gonna get poured down the drain.

Food allergies exist.

I believe they are referring to only their franchisees and not the baristas. More customizations more profits.

@@matreen427 nah, OP is correct. The employees are called "partners" by Starbucks

@@matreen427 nope. we're all called partners because our benefits is that we get 10 shares of Starbucks stocks which technically makes us partners

Look up how little the coffee farmers are paid and all the work that goes into it... “fair trade coffee” isn’t fair at all

Slimy

And let more people be on more shifts at the same time

I live in San Antonio and now we get paid 15 but still I have this part of my job

@Victoria Amber I know! Im so so sorry about that. Yes people who try to get a drink remade for free just because the other one was bad are just.. so annoying. Like the person you're asking that from has to take the time to make it for you, and to hear that you think their drink is disgusting probably makes them sad too. :T people people people...

I'm pretty sure they're not actually drinking that. They're just playing around to feel superior. This is ridiculous.

@@blueraineee They are! or they do it and snap it to their friends just to appear cool. They probably take one sip of it and throw it away, or ask other people to drink it. Wish people wouldn't do that. A lot of the people who come into our Starbucks are young though, so I guess they dont really understand??? but still.

@@sickchild9523 Yeah they don't really think about how they are inconveniencing people..

At 6:00 when I quit 16 GM sister start working Starbucks this week and she came home crying one night due to being stressed out single ingredient customers drink, but they got upset with her for how it tasted and asked for it to be remade again!!!!! So she did it for free please don't do that do this it's my sister's first job, and she's coming home crying and concerning quietening because someone yelled at her and straight up disrespectful.

Well I get being respectful which I always am. I dont care if the barista is busy I waited in line to get what I wanted, I pay more for my additions why does it matter what I get?

@@arlenemer7807 sheesh “i am always respectful” and “i dont care” dont work together 😬

@@mari9192 they do work together. I tip, I'm polite, I'm not impatient. However I want what I paid for, not for the person to complain to the internet because my order is complicated. I pay extra for the complicated order.

@@arlenemer7807 they don't. If you cared, then you would wait for the drink to be made.

@@mari9192 they think being respectful is shown only by "I tipped!" Therefore, I am the good guy. I guess being considerate isn't in the vocabulary either. People are hypocrites 🤷

if your so worried about it then why don’t you quit smart girl

Yes! The fact that people wanna out a million things in their drink makes our job so much harder and wastes supplies

@@oh.6879 Its hard to quit when youre struggling financially. You dont know what these starbuck baristas go through and the sacrifices they have to take to make ends meet

@@oh.6879 Don’t worry about my job sweetie. My customers don’t act like this❤️ Doesn’t mean I can’t have empathy for my fellow baristas. Also if we all quit, who’s going to serve people coffee? Next time you take fast food workers, waiters, and waitresses for granted; think about what if no one did those jobs.

@@oh.6879 Wow I bet you don’t even go to school.

The fact that we ask for common sense in a world that lacks it more than anything is ridiculous too. Common sense in today's society is as common as empathy, patience, love, consideration for others and peace. It exists, but we're going to have to dig REAL deep to find it.

But if I’m standing right there and watching you and I ordered X amount of pumps of this next amount of pumps of that and you only put like minimal I’m going to speak to your manager

It's so unnecessary the amount of ingredients that tiktokers put in their drinks, because in the end, it's still sugar. Just ask for extra sugar and call it a day. I am not saying you can't order a drink with customisations, but be mindful of what's in there, for the workers sake (because they have to make the diabetes contraption) and yours (you know, because you have to actually drink it). In the end, just be mindful of the baristas. You don't have to limit yourself, but if it's unnecessary ingredients then try to narrow it down. Or you could just get a normal coffee for caffeine, and go across the street to dairy Queen for your sugar high.

Ngl, some of the order, I actually wonder if they could even fit in the glass

@@dy6363 exactly

i was literally gagging reading the long list of syrups

we don’t even get bonuses no matter how fast we are LOL

that's how it was when i worked at sonic. i was one of three people on morning shift and my "job" was to prepare the onion rings. but because the opening manager had to take orders as well as be in kitchen, and the guy on fountain had to be carhop....guess what i had to do otherwise i'd get yelled at for letting the kitchen fall into the red. but if i helped kitchen out, i'd get yelled at for not doing my "job" and so it came down to just doing what i could when i could because i'd get yelled at either way. 8 months of it....finally quit after 10 months of doing everyone's job as well as mine and then getting told i had to do even more work because of a special they wanted to do and i couldn't do because of my back issues.

Ha! At Starbucks, if we meet those 45 second goals, our manager gets the bonus. Baristas get nothing. Correction: sometimes the manager buys us donuts for good drive thru times, that’s it.

@@katnightingale9707 no bonus but donuts ei? Thats still better than nothing. And 45 seconds only? they should put that on the menued items only and make 8 mins for the customized one. But ol hail this is murica, capitalism rules!

I specifically asked my SM what's the corporate incentive to have our window times so low (we've been fastest in the region since he showed up) and he said it just allows more labor to be on the floor during peak with each worker planted at one station. But that felt like a dodge.

They charge for every customization. It’s 25 cents to 50 cents. Depends on the customization.

at my store we charge 85 cents for syrups that aren't already included and $1.45 for the sweet cream foam

I dont live in the us but it costs from 2-5 riyals where i live

Bruh I feel bad even ordering too long

i can’t find anyone who asked

@@oh.6879 Wow your toxic

Same I ask for a cheeseburger plain and I’m like “sorry I’m so picky/complicated”

@@oh.6879 it's a public forum. People don't need your permission to speak

Except that's not how starbucks wants to work. At my starbucks we can get write ups if we simply complain to other employees about complicated drinks. Starbucks wants the mentality to be all about the customer. We are supposed to go above and beyond and be totally excited to do it. So all these customizations are supposed to be no problem. Unfortunately they often are. Not all the time though. It just depends on the time of day, how busy we are, how many people we have on the floor, and how long the lines are. I personally don't mind long complicated orders, by themselves. It's people who are inconsiderate, impatient and entitled that can make things difficult. If you have a complicated order you can't be upset that it took more than a minute to make your drink, and we are already stressed out don't be overly upset and rude because if we make it wrong. And another thing to keep in mind is while you are ordering an order that takes awhile to understand and build, there are people often behind you that get mad that it's taking so long. And those people aren't getting mad at you for ordering a long order, they get mad at us. I just want people to be nice. I think many other would say the same thing.

In America, as a McDonald's employee, these custom orders also appear just as normal drive through orders, and we are expected to make them just as quickly as drive through orders. Idk if you knew, but McDonald's ordering system for online orders is just as stressful as if you went through the drive through to order it. It doesn't matter when you order, it just pops up on the screen as any regular order. I can't tell you how many times I've hade a 26 sandwich order pop up, and my managers expect it to be done within 3 minutes, no matter how busy our drive through is. Let's say you make a sandwich in 30 seconds. That's pretty fast. But if someone orders 26 sandwiches, and you make every single sandwich in 30 seconds, that's still going to take you 13 minutes for the entire order. It's just completely asinine to assume that your order will be done in less than five minutes if you order that much food, regardless of the modifications you make. Let alone the people behind you waiting for their orders to be done quickly as well. How do you expect me to make this super complicated order in such a short amount of time, as well as explain to the people behind you why their order of one McChicken and a soft drink took so long to make??? Don't do this to these poor underpaid employees. I get it if you want a customized order. Order it. But don't do it in the drive through when all you're doing is holding up the line for everyone else. When you leave, that's it. You're done with dealing with this. But after you leave, every customer after you is irritated and berating the employees for taking so long to make their order. None of which that particular customer ever has to see. But these employees have to deal with it a lot longer than they do. Please treat your employees with respect. If you know that your order is going to take a long time, do not do it in the drive through. And be respectful to the employee making it. They're not getting paid enough to deal with this. Why do you think fast food has the absolute worst turnover rate of any industry???

I totally agree and Australia’s McDonald’s ordering system is also like that

Its the same in the us, we can also order from the app for pickup in the parking lot where they bring it right out to a designated parking spot and even have it delivered by Uber eats!

The app does this. The app allows you to customize your drink and will tell you what is available and what is NOT at your local Starbucks I order through the app all the time

I don't think it will. The iced white mocha with vanilla sweet cream cold foam and extra caramel drizzle is very pricy. Some women come through my Starbucks often and order talls, which are almost $8 for 12 ounces. Really does baffle me, but hey, they're willing to pay for it, so I make it. I do tell them there's about $1 - $1.50 difference to get a bigger size, but they still want tall.

Is Any of it coffee ???, wouldn't it then just be called .... "Coffee". 🤦

I only order iced americano and iced cappuccino in starbucks and thats it. Wonder why with all the complex ingredients.

Literally 97% sugar and 2 drops of coffee

Ikr. It stops being coffee when they add literal cake pops and bananas. Same with the one that was just syrup

@@Mia.S13 in my store we aren't even allowed to add food to the drinks lol. We have to tell people no fortunately

Tight empathy is way better.

I never had empathy in the first place but that doesn't stop me from being polite.

Well when you live in a godless society things happen. It does seem like caring about the feelings of others is becoming taboo these days.

I hoped that after the initial quarantine, everyone would be more grateful, but they just got more entitled. I switched from being a cashier at my job because of this.

People never had empathy to begin with. And I actually blame religion and all the pedophiles that keep those religions going for that. Maybe if we realized no god is looking out for us, we might start caring more for the people we actually see in front of us.

"We sell coffee here sir"

And when u defend the workers they attack u and say ur being sensitive and it’s not that big of a deal and they’re paid for that when in reality most people don’t get paid much

They are probably going to get diabetes really early in life

@@friedrice2321 if they keep up with this then they clearly are going to have a higher chance of diabetes

Not only that, but if you really don't like the taste of coffee... why're you trying to drink it? They've got energy drinks, healthy energy drinks, vitamins, drugs (illegal and legal) sodas, and all kinds of other caffeinated beverages out there that cater to the need of energy and have a much better taste. And above all else, a monster energy is like 3 dollars and some change, a small frappacino which is barely any coffee already and only 12 ounces (remember most of it's ice) is over 4 dollars depending which one you get. So why waste your money on anxiety and diabetes when you can just have simple energy?

i saw a video of a Starbucks barista who got asked for a surprise by these middle schoolers, he gave them water

I'm curious if they actually end up drinking the whole thing or it just ends up in the trash. I am leaning more towards it ends up in the trash because they do it for the tiktok and drink a bit then toss it. Such a waste.

Do they complain about the price not being the same as what they "ordered"? "I'd like your chicken Cesar salad but sub chicken with shrimp, add spinach, mandarin oranges, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts, cranberries if you have it, and instead of Cesar dressing the raspberry balsamic. Wait the Cesar salad is supposed too be $6 why did you charge me $12?! I wanna see your manager!" Then write a yelp review. "Dishonest pricing and incompetent staff.

I’m a sbux barista, you can totally get milk tea there. It’s called a tea latte, it comes iced or hot, for iced you can get any of the iced teas and for hot you can use any of the brewed teas. The standard milk is 2% but I like oatmilk with brown sugar syrup and white mocha.
