Starbucks worker shares obnoxious coffee order, Twitter responds brilliantly
A man's picky Starbucks coffee order has struck a chord with fellow baristas after going viral on Twitter.
Starbucks employee Josie (@ProjectJosiee) posted a photo of the complicated order, which featured no less than 13 special requests, along with the caption: "On todays episode of why i wanna quit my job."
The ultra-sweet Venti Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino order for fussy customer Edward specified extra caramel drizzle, extra whip, extra ice, extra caramel crunch, extra honey blend and extra cinnamon dolce-flavoured syrup, among other requests.
The cafe worker's plight seemed to resonate with fellow Twitter users, garnering hundreds and thousands of likes, almost 30,000 retweets and hundreds of replies in just a few days.
The over-the-top frappuccino also prompted other baristas to share their own experiences with fussy coffee drinkers.
Comedian Ashley Nicole Black chimed in, joking: "I knew it had to be an app order. No one would order that out loud making eye contact."
"I raise you this," another user wrote, posting a Starbucks order for a customer named Mohammed featuring a mind-boggling 32 special requests.
Another online critic said she'd once overheard a woman demanding her coffee be heated to precisely 37°C.
"Not 36, not 38–I will KNOW the difference," she recalled the customer saying.
"Folks if your order is more than 4 words long, you are part of the problem."
A flood of disgruntled cafe workers shared their own hellish orders from picky customers.
Another Starbucks employee shared an order they received with around 27 special requests that "makes my gd blood boil".
The viral tweet comes months after a woman revealed the sneaky way she learned her boyfriend was cheating on her via a Starbucks coffee order.
In the TikTok, Danielle Brown revealed her former boyfriend's incriminating takeaway cup featured the other woman's name, "Britney", on the coffee order receipt — also the man's ex-girlfriend's name.
