An Ex-Barista At Starbucks Admits To Giving Customers Decaf When They Were Rude To Him

A former Starbucks barista has caused a bit of an uproar on social media after he admitted to giving customers decaf coffees when customers were rude or when he simply felt like doing so.

@dolltin’s video went viral which was then later removed by TikTok, left a lot of commenters angry which was posted in response to another barista’s video also admitting to serving decaf to rude customers who ordered caffeinated beverages.

The former employee stated in his video,

“It’s 100% true. I worked at Starbucks for two years, and I decaffed so many rude people … I would decaf people just if I felt like it.” He then went on to say that he would “decaf” customers who pronounced “croissant” with a French accent.
