“Customizing beverages at Starbucks and our baristas’ expertise in helping customers find and craft the right beverage has and always will be the heart of the Starbucks Experience,” the company said.
On Saturday, a Starbucks barista's photo of a complicated order sparked a fire on Twitter, with many other employees chiming in on the platform with photos and stories of insane customer requests.
"On today's episode of why I wanna quit my job," Twitter user @ProjectJosiee captioned a photo of an iced coffee drink with a comically long list of special requests, including but not limited to caramel drizzle, caramel sauce, caramel crunch, honey blend, extra whipped cream, extra ice, extra Frapp chips, and cinnamon topping. He also posted video from his TikTok account @ProjectJosie about getting "verbally harassed by Karens" over their coffee orders.
The tweet quickly went viral, getting over 52,000 retweets and 336,000 likes. In the replies, other baristas began sharing photos of their own nightmare orders.

Likewise - I don’t go on tiktok nor Carr about whiny coffee baristas who think their life sucks because coffee making is too hard.
Coffee, black. Period.
I was last in a Starbucks 5 years ago. Too much sugar and too much woke politics turned my stomach.
no pumpkin latte double frappachino?
I’ve never been there. I don’t drink coffee and I am allergic to standing in line and crowds.
I went into one years ago because they had a public restroom and I was having an emergency.
How dare you not pay $7.00 for coffee.
Here is the complicated order mentioned:
My mom always told me to go to my room if i started to frappochino
I’m with the baristas here.
And the idiots who order those things get real angry if their order isn’t 100% right. What a bunch of self-absorbed, entitled jerks!
The nearest Starbucks to me routinely has 10-20 cars in the drive-thru, no matter what time of day. Why anyone would sit in their car for 20 minutes waiting for an overpriced coffee concoction is beyond me. Most of these drinks are loaded with sugar too. Diabetes rates are soaring in the country, I wonder why.
I have no need (or desire) to go to Starbucks...I discovered Whiskey Morning Coffee at the Fort Worth Gun Show a couple of months ago. Small company a half hour west of Fort Worth, great customer service, excellent coffee. My favorite brews are the Texian Army brew and Whiskey Morning, which is aged in whiskey barrels.
In the northeast I drank Dunkin exclusively. Never stepped foot in a starbucks.
Here in the south there are 2 Dunkins in my region and neither are good at all. Nasty people and burned coffee all the time. So I ventured into a starbucks. Really nice people and a better atmosphere go a long way. Coffee isn’t that great but I’m onto Lattes and Capuccinos now.
Believe it or not my preferred Latte is McDonalds. That machine makes it the same everytime and it’s really good. Also at 2” a small cup it’s a far better deal. My 2nd favorite charity too - The Ronald McDonald house. I find no problem supporting Micky D’s.
Starbucks is the ultimate scam. The coffee is better, and a LOT cheaper, at a Mapco station.
Since coffee growers, in general, use pesticides heavily, it’s best to buy organic, shade tree grown, coffee.
It’s readily available at Sprouts, Fresh Market, and the Turnip Truck, among others.
Starbucks is expensive, and bad for you to boot.
Personally I’m more of a $1.25 gas station coffee than a $6.50 hipster bizarro-flavor-of-the-month soy latte coffee.
At that point, is it even coffee anymore? I don’t even drink coffee. I love the way that the coffee aisle at the grocery store smells, though.
I’m with the barista on this one. He’s just trying to hold down a job, and along comes some fool who can’t help but to make things more difficult.
Yes, the customer is always right. But I’m guessing that the customer’s demand for 7 Frap chips (not 6 and not 8) is more about wanting to be obnoxious, and less about customer preference.
Yup. If you need contaminants to make coffee drinkable, it’s bad coffee not worth drinking.
