like yea i do know what it is but i hate u so feel silly and embarrassed #barista #baristacosplay #baristatok“One time this lady goes ‘The regular’ and I’m like ‘Um sorry not sure what you mean’ and she’s like ‘You know me right’ and I’m like ‘Yes,’” another brash barista commented beneath the TikTok clip. “Humbling & embarrassing customers is my #1 passion,” a third alleged coffee-maker chimed in.

The TikTok poster is not the only supposed Starbucks barista taking to the social media app to spill the tea on their workplace in recent weeks.

Last month, ex-Starbucks employee Shabaz Ali, 28, went viral with a TikTok video claiming managers deliberately ordered him to misspell people’s names on their cups — for the subversive marketing potential.Ali additionally alleged that the company’s famous Frappuccinos contain a fake flavored syrup, as opposed to real beans.“If you want real coffee, you have to ask for an espresso shot,” he declared.
