Starbucks barista claps back at preachy customer who told her she was “going to hell”
Wikimedia CommonsA Starbucks employee clapped back at a customer who told her she was going to hell because of the way she looked.
The Starbucks employee in question took to Reddit to share the bizarre encounter she had with the customer. The strangest thing? He was a regular at the store.
She relayed the interaction for readers: “Customer: I hate tattoos. Me: That’s sucks, I love them. Customer: You’re going to hell for those sinful things ‘motions at my arms.’ Me: Good.
“This is what I was told today by a REGULAR! He comes in everyday and is usually nice and chatty except towards people who have tattoos, piercings, etc… This isn’t his first time telling someone that either!”
People angry at Starbucks customer
After the poster shared their experience on the platform, people vented their frustrations over the preachy customer.
“For a moment, I thought maybe it was my mother-in-law that you were conversing with, until you said ‘he,’” one joked.
“As someone who’s a customer with vibrant hair, two full sleeves and a leg sleeve in progress, they can kick rocks,” another told the OP.
However, a store manager on the platform, thought the situation was more serious, writing: “This is harassment and deserves an incident report.”
“This would not be a work-appropriate thing to say. When you’re harassed at work, you have to set the boundary immediately. If you don’t feel comfortable saying that back, it’s okay. Your supervisor or manager can do it for you,” another agreed.
Another Starbucks barista went viral, after they ranted about people who kept ordering made-up TikTok drinks.
