Starbucks baristas still hate their customers TL;DR: OP is complaining about customers who say "Iβm 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 βiβm sorryβ and iβll say βdonβt be im here for that holiday pay babey π€π€π€β
Should change that to "holiday tips" ππ°π 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 canβt 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 βthank you for being here. Too bad you canβt be with your family right nowβ YEAH BECAUSE YOU MFS NEED UR SKINNY VANILLA LATTES. I donβt 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. βhappy thanksgiving!! gosh im so sorry you have to be here, thank you for everything gosh youre amazing,β goes on this whole rant.. orders $50 worth of drinks and doesnt tip. MAN HOW SORRY ARE YOU THEN.. u
