They want to figure out what the inside drink that the baristas are all having.”Īlthough making one Dogecoin MemeLord Double-Dank Upside Down Frapp can be an annoyance (we made that one up-please don’t ask for it), making nine or 10 of them can have a knock-on effect for the entire store.
Sometimes they’ll be like, ‘Oh, can you surprise me with your favorite drink today?’ And I’ll sit there, like, This is gonna be for TikTok. “They’ll be extra nice about it because they’re filming themselves, too. “You can tell if they’re filming a TikTok, because when they’re at the order box, they order a little bit differently,” she said. Grace says that it's reached the point where she can ID a TikToker as soon as they open their mouth. Congrats, Tiktokers, you played yourselves.) "They’re just heaps and heaps of sugar on top of each other.” She added that you can often tell if a drink has been sourced from TikTok if it involves "either the excessive caramel drizzle or vanilla sweet cream cold foam.” (Some Starbucks stores are currently enduring caramel drizzle, white mocha, and strawberry acai shortages. “Since TikTok’s biggest audience children, most of these drinks aren’t even coffee or espresso-based," an Illinois barista who asked to be identified by her Reddit username, Chemical-Less, said. And if scrolling through TikTok makes you disturbingly aware of your own birth year and forehead creases, that’s probably because around 40 percent of users are between the ages of 16 to 24-significantly younger than the forty-somethings that have been identified as the Starbucks "core customer."

They just say, ‘I want this,’ and then shove their phone in your face.”Īria, who works at an Arizona Starbucks, echoed that exasperation. “I personally hate that, because you just lose all communication. “Sometimes I have to pick the cup up multiple times to make sure I’m adding everything that they wanted other times they’ll just show us a screenshot of the ingredients,” she said. In Grace’s store, team members have been instructed not to touch customers’ phones, so the customer might have to stand there reading the step-by-step instructions. The pandemic has made this even more complicated. For those TikTok drinks, you literally have to read a novel.”

“With our drinks, we just pull the sticker that tells us what it is, and we immediately know how to make it.
“To be quite frank with you, all the drinks on Tiktok are such a bitch to do,” she said. Grace said that an increasing number of customers have been asking for drinks they’ve seen on TikTok and they seem to assume that every barista in every Starbucks automatically knows what a Sunrise Peach Frappuccino or a Harry Styles Refresher is-and is able to make one on the spot.
