Please stop doing this at Starbucks, because it’s driving baristas crazy

There are exceptions to every rule, but more often than not viral TikTok trends are pretty pointless and silly. If you need proof, here's the latest example -- it's the Starbucks TikTok trend you might have seen pictures of being shared across social media in recent days. And it is the product of nothing other than people simply having too much time on their hands.

Oh sure, there's plenty of fun content on TikTok that is admittedly entertaining. Like the TikTok channel we previously told you about that people have been obsessing over, the one which depicts a stop sign in Salem, Massachusetts, that basically no one ever actually stops at. Meanwhile, there are other times when you can actually learn something useful, like this awesome iPhone trick that went viral on TikTok which shows how easy it is to record a video while simultaneously playing music in the background via Spotify, Apple Music, or any other app. Suffice it to say, though, that this Starbucks TikTok trend is ridiculous to the point of being a little offensive to the baristas at Starbucks who've had to work a lot harder than many people during the coronavirus pandemic -- like having to work in-person, since you can't actually make drinks remotely from home, and dealing with constantly changing and even decreases in hours, as well as often super-long lines in the drive-thru.
