TL;DR: OP is complaining about customers who say "I’m sorry you have to work today" on Thanksgiving.
Is there any other job where the workers complain about having to serve customers so much? Let's look at the comments and see if the people of /r/starbucks have figured out how to use punctuation and capital letters yet.
they can say ‘i’m sorry’ and i’ll say ‘don’t be im here for that holiday pay babey 🤑🤑🤑’
Should change that to "holiday tips" 😏💰👇 I'd imagine anyone dense enough not to realize their patronage is causing you to be there won't think to tip any better either.
and
everyone here is acting like everyone in the drive through and everyone sitting in the lobby at 1pm is an overworked doctor or a lonely widower. lol 80% of the people here today are the people that are here 4 days a week bc they can’t go without their grande strawberry acai in a trenta cup for one day
I guess not.
Apparently only alpha humans are capable of working at Starbucks:
The employees are products of what customers and corporate make them. Don't be an elitist frickhead and come at them with 'yall are miserable, JuSt WoRk ElSeWhErE' when 99% of customers couldn't handle the job themselves.
The most Redditor Redditor chimes in:
More alternate perspective: a lot of us don't have safe spaces for Thanksgiving, so having to work is a blessing. I just hosted a big friendsgiving for my colleagues yesterday because of this. We had tacos!
There's a similar thread on /r/starbucksbaristas too:
I also HATE when people say stuff like “thank you for being here. Too bad you can’t be with your family right now” YEAH BECAUSE YOU MFS NEED UR SKINNY VANILLA LATTES. I don’t need your pity.
Top comment there:
Someone posted almost the same thing in the actual sbux reddit and the bootlicking ensued lol. Either tip or don't say anything
Let's finish with a wagie so miserable that they take compliments as insults:
NO I LITERALLY HAD THIS TODAY. some girl literally was like. “happy thanksgiving!! gosh im so sorry you have to be here, thank you for everything gosh youre amazing,” goes on this whole rant.. orders $50 worth of drinks and doesnt tip. MAN HOW SORRY ARE YOU THEN.. u

I will not tip and I will annoy them even more. What is the wagie going to do about it?

Thank you for doing the absolute basic portion of your job, squirting caramel into sugary bean water. I'm not tipping.

So they're going to grab the coffee from my hand after I say it, spit in it, and hand it back to me?
With genius intellect like that, no wonder they're working at a fricking starbucks during holidays.

There's 11 federal holidays, if you're 11 days of work away from being homeless you got much bigger problems than people saying happy Thanksgiving.
Also out of those 11 less than half are real.

/r/starbucks has a special disdain for customers. They work in a milkshake shop and complain when people order milkshakes.

I can feel the locus of external control pushing from my screen and into my brain. Most impressive. Every conscript should heed the words of this redditor before making a complaint.
