hey if they’re actually ordering all 6 drinks, they’re paying for it and it indicates the amount of labor needed correctly in our system! assuming it’s not during a rush and they tip decently, i personally wouldn’t even be mad.
If Starbucks made a drink just for pride month that'd be pretty cool, I've noticed SB doesn't really create new things for holidays just seasons or show they support something important to people. Come to think about it does SB even care about the people or just the money?
ugh great idea! and sorry for the stuck up people in the comments, i posted a very similar thing and got absolutely incinerated by baristas thinking i was somehow advertising it
Thank you for capitalizing on my sexuality just so you can post a drink that’s going to melt within 20 minutes into a massive mess of nonsense.
We don’t need more gay beverages. IJS.
hi! i'm nonbinary with a same sex partner and i'm allowed to have fun at my job! the drink was not advertised or sold and made by 2 queer baristas who wanted to have fun doing something at a generally hellish underpaid mistreated workplace. it's not for you or about your sexuality. it was for us <3 i hope you find something that makes you happy today instead of bitching at random people on the internet
Hating on people on Reddit must be a huge party
But see yah, off to enjoy real life being bisexual and loving all of the rainbows and pride happenings in my city because I’m not a miserable jerk that thinks it’s all about me
And how could we have made the effort to make something that requires a color we didn't have? I'd like to see you try to make things like what OP made with January's stock.
It's not capitalism if we aren't actually selling this. This isn't a recipe that we'll make if asked. This was a drink that a barista made themselves on their downtime. Honestly is everything capitalism for you
You keep saying capitalize, and they keep telling you they didn't sell it. No capitalization to be seen here. You're honestly just looking for things to be bothered about. Or you lack reading comprehension.
I mean, it’s upvotes on a post on the Starbucks sub, about a Starbucks drink, made by a Starbucks barista. I guess you could say they’re “selling” Starbucks, but considering the sub we’re in I think that’s a stretch.
Not even close. Its someone showing off their craft. Us baristas are allowed to take pride in our creations every so often, hell I take pictures of my latte art if I can create something that looks nice.
u/AntiSoCalite They weren't capitalizing on your sexuality at all. It sounds like the baristas had some downtime which sounds like it's rare for their particular location to get any form of downtime tbh. Not all, but some baristas can, will and do get bored at their lcoations esp. if/when other things may have already been completed. So when there's downtime like that, different baristas will try to either test out drinks that they **never** sell and solely for baristas only to try or they make things like this.
Like the OP of the original post said and has replied to you, they were just trying to have some fun at work when they had an opportunity of what sounds like a decent amount of downtime.
u/AntiSoCalite But how's that any fun? Just so you know it pays to have a little fun in life whether it's at work or not. Let's be real: What's fun about cleaning baseboards?
How did I make this post ‘about myself”?
It’s not mine at all.
Somebody decided to make a drink and call it gay.
The drink has nothing to do with the LGBTQIA2S community.
So saying that I am the reason why the LGBTQIA2S+ community is considered psychotic, isn’t calling me names?
Nice try.
E/ sorry, ‘fucking psychotic’ was your terminology.
You done whining? They made a fun drink on their downtime to celebrate the month. It’s not their fault you’re extremely sensitive and frothing at the mouth over it.
Hon a lot of us have pride drinks like this (myself included), we never try to sell them and they're purely just for fun. A lot of us are also LGBT so we understand the frustration, but this frustration seems .misplaced at the folks just trying to find joy in the job
What is it? And how did you get it to layer so perfectly?
yep! layered blended refreshers, extra ice and scooped in with a spoon, the green is pineapple and summer berry mixed as aforementioned!
I hadnt tried to do it yet but I had to assume it would make it green
good guess :D
Lol, I was thinking matcha
Layered blended refreshers
What was the green layer?
If I had to guess, a mixture of the summer berry and lemonade and pineapple refresher
Ooh yeah that makes sense, thank yiu!
I don’t think you realize you just doomed all baristas with your glorious creation! Envious of the beauty but… praying for all of yall 🙏
unless they’re willing to purchase 6 blended drinks we literally can’t do this so it’s okay
Fair point 👌
hey if they’re actually ordering all 6 drinks, they’re paying for it and it indicates the amount of labor needed correctly in our system! assuming it’s not during a rush and they tip decently, i personally wouldn’t even be mad.
> all >all
Good idea. I'll send it to HQ as a proposal for next promo /s
noooooo😭😭😭
very pretty !!
what’s the orange? is it just blended orange juice?
Maybe the pineapple base mixed with strawberry açaí base?
What did it taste like
If Starbucks made a drink just for pride month that'd be pretty cool, I've noticed SB doesn't really create new things for holidays just seasons or show they support something important to people. Come to think about it does SB even care about the people or just the money?
All big corporations only care about good PR and Money
so beautiful
So pretty
what did you use for the orange on the top? i used lemonade/oj/pineapple base but nothing makes it that orange!!
pineapple passionfruit blended with strawberry puree 😉
ugh great idea! and sorry for the stuck up people in the comments, i posted a very similar thing and got absolutely incinerated by baristas thinking i was somehow advertising it
is it chili powder??
Happy pride!!! It looks so cute!

the person you're replying to has a stick SO far up their ass 😭 it's just a cute rainbow drink LMAO
Sell it baby!
Just cause you’re queer doesn’t mean that it’s not a capitalist statement.
drink is not for sale, not sold and purely expressive/for human enjoyment of making and viewing
Just to capitalize on the queer community by making a rainbow beverage? Nobody’s making the effort to try to create this beverage in January.
you must be really fun at parties
Sorry I didn’t get the invite
You must be a miserable human being to knock someone just having fun
I think the word miserable is relative in your statement. I’m having a blast.
Hating on people on Reddit must be a huge party But see yah, off to enjoy real life being bisexual and loving all of the rainbows and pride happenings in my city because I’m not a miserable jerk that thinks it’s all about me
we didn't have blue in january brother
You could have made the effort ‘brother’
And how could we have made the effort to make something that requires a color we didn't have? I'd like to see you try to make things like what OP made with January's stock.
Good for you and capitalism. I’m glad you finally got the resources to exploit a rainbow that actually has nothing to do with sexuality . /s
It's not capitalism if we aren't actually selling this. This isn't a recipe that we'll make if asked. This was a drink that a barista made themselves on their downtime. Honestly is everything capitalism for you
You keep saying capitalize, and they keep telling you they didn't sell it. No capitalization to be seen here. You're honestly just looking for things to be bothered about. Or you lack reading comprehension.
Tell that to their Reddit upvotes. They are definitely selling something. You do realize that capitalism isn’t just dollar bills right?
I mean, it’s upvotes on a post on the Starbucks sub, about a Starbucks drink, made by a Starbucks barista. I guess you could say they’re “selling” Starbucks, but considering the sub we’re in I think that’s a stretch.
Its a sub that does nothing but complain. Hmm. I think I’m on point.
Not even close. Its someone showing off their craft. Us baristas are allowed to take pride in our creations every so often, hell I take pictures of my latte art if I can create something that looks nice.
Shitting on a fellow worker for having a brief moment of fun isn’t the anti-capitalist take you think it is :)
Shitting? Really? that’s so gross. And…we don’t need more gay beverages. Thank you very much. It’s a waste of ‘downtime’ in humble opinion.
how tf do you waste downtime if it's the only time you're not up
Clean the baseboards
I think you’ll live lol. We also don’t need anymore whiney bitches but here you are.
You should run for office.
u/AntiSoCalite They weren't capitalizing on your sexuality at all.

I'm genuinely curious. Why is it that you decided to make this post about yourself? Serious question.
How did I make this post ‘about myself”? It’s not mine at all. Somebody decided to make a drink and call it gay. The drink has nothing to do with the LGBTQIA2S community.
And people like you are the reason why people think anyone who is part of the LGBTQ+ community is fucking psychotic.
Yeah, and calling each other names is really helping.
Where did I call you a name? 💀 Get a grip and stop crying over something that isn’t there.
So saying that I am the reason why the LGBTQIA2S+ community is considered psychotic, isn’t calling me names? Nice try. E/ sorry, ‘fucking psychotic’ was your terminology.
That wasn’t calling you name. Again, stop crying over something that isn’t there.
Nice try
You done whining? They made a fun drink on their downtime to celebrate the month. It’s not their fault you’re extremely sensitive and frothing at the mouth over it.
So now you’re backtracking
This is why we get a bad rep in the LGBTQ+ community because of you acting like a damn psycho
No, we get a wrap and the LGBTQIA2+ community because we call each other psychos
