- A woman hilariously called out a Starbucks barista who wrote a heart on her husband's order, assuming they were flirting.
- Baristas in the comment section of her TikTok are offering their takes.
- Some said they draw hearts on every person's cup, while others admitted to doing it to flirt.
A woman took to TikTok to hilariously call out a Starbucks barista who drew hearts and a smiley face next to her boyfriend's name on an iced coffee order, assuming it was to come onto him.
In the video that was shared last week, and which has been viewed over 2.4 million times, the TikToker @ksanchzz jokingly threatened to find the barista to confront them.
"Whoever wrote my husband's name like this at Starbucks, just know I will find you," the woman said while holding up an iced coffee with the name "Julio" written in pink, surrounded by a swirly line, a smiley face, and a small heart. @Ksanchzz said that Julio had gotten the coffee for her, ironically.
"I will find the girl [who] had the audacity to put a heart by my husband's name and a smiley," the woman added. "You're not gonna be smiling, honey."
She pointed the camera at her husband, who looked slightly uncomfortable while holding back laughter.
The TikToker ended the video by repeating, "Who was it? Who was it, what did she look like?" She included the hashtags "cheater" and "marriage humor."
People are now debating in the comment section of her TikTok whether the unknown barista was, in fact, flirting with Julio or not. Many viewers said the TikToker shouldn't stress too much because this is a typical thing Starbucks employees do. A few commenters who identified themselves then offered their thoughts.
"As a former Starbies barista, I literally did this to everyone's cup... y'all need to chill," one person wrote.
"Okay, I know plenty of people that work at Starbucks & they just do this to brighten people's days, not to pick up someone," another commenter said.
But some baristas admitted to using hearts and smiley faces to give customers extra attention. "I totally flirted by drawing smileys on cups when I was a barista hahaha," one user said.
"As a Starbucks barista, I can say with about 90% confidence that whoever wrote that only wrote [it] because they craved the chaos it was about to cause," another user weighed in.
The comment section soon spun out to hilarious theories, like Julio writing the flirty symbols himself so he could get out of the duty of carrying Starbucks orders home, and some people who pretended to vouch for Julio by saying they were at Starbucks with him and watched how the whole scene went down.
"Nah I was behind him in line soon as she handed him the cup bro was like 'chill I got a gf' and walked out," one person joked.
A few viewers fed into the woman's humorous fury, telling her she should contact the manager of the store or questioning why her husband was "acting single at Starbucks" in the first place.
Others cracked jokes about the situation: "Julio is going to Dunkin from now on," a top comment said.
