"I'm a people pleaser to my CORE" is the most dangerous sentence in the English language.
You misspelled her name and she got a personality transplant. What an amazing story.
15k followers to 50k followers in 5 months. That's a huge red flag. She was already crazy.
Why would you make her drink for 12 minutes while a line is forming? Are you insane?
I'd have told her "no." I don't care about your "brand." Get out of my face.
"Can you smile more? You look tired on camera." I'd have thrown the drink at her.
I'm so glad you misspelled her name again. It's the perfect ending to a beautiful story.
The silence was terrifying because she knew her 'brand' was a lie.
"I want to make a pink monstrosity." "We don't have butterfly pea extract." "Just make it work." This woman is unhinged.
"Supporting local businesses." Yeah, by demanding a barista to perform like a circus animal.
She got 50k followers from you. You're the real influencer here.
This is why I don't go to Starbucks. The baristas are too nice to crazy people.
I hope she got decaf.
I'm not saying you're a hero, but you're a hero. You created a monster and then you killed it.
The most satisfying karma I've ever witnessed? You have to tell us what happened.
"Can you make it look like a spiral?" She's a psychopath.
I'm not a barista, but I would've quit on the spot.
"Hey bestie!" No. Just no. I'm not your bestie. I'm your barista.
This woman has a full production crew for a coffee order. She's a special kind of crazy.
She didn't get a personality transplant. She just showed her true colors.
You're a people pleaser, but she's a monster pleaser.
The name "Meghan" is cursed. It's always the Meghan's.
I'm so invested in this story. I need part 2.
I'd have told her "no, I can't smile more, I'm tired because I've been here since 5am because of people like you."
I'd have given her the wrong drink on purpose. Just to see what she'd do.
This is the kind of person that gives influencers a bad name.
The irony of her name being "Megan Blanco."
"The silence was absolutely terrifying..." and then what?! Don't leave us hanging!
She needs to get a real job instead of filming baristas for a living.
I'd have written "Caren" on the cup.
I'm not a barista, but I feel your pain. This is a nightmare.
She's a villain, not a hero. You're the hero.
The fact that she was mad about a single letter change is peak human behavior.
I'd have spit in her drink. Kidding. Maybe.
She's not a person, she's a "brand."
This is a cautionary tale about the dangers of online fame.
I hope she went home and cried.
I'm glad I work from home and don't have to deal with people like this.
"Can you smile more?" My brain would've just short-circuited.
The part where she critiques your technique in real time... I'm getting angry just reading this.
I'd have told her to go to a different Starbucks. We're a different breed here.
You're the hero. No question. You served justice in a cup.
The only mistake you made was not telling her to get lost sooner.
I bet she had a meltdown and started screaming. I need to know.
She's a sociopath. A total and complete sociopath.
This is why I only get black coffee. No modifications.
She went from "baristas are human too" to "you're a barista, you're not human."
"Hey bestie!" I'd have told her "I'm not your bestie, I'm your barista."
I'd have made her drink and then accidentally dropped it on her.
I bet she asked for a refund.
She's probably a TikTok famous "coffee connoisseur" now.
