Life tip of the day: don’t mess with the people who make your coffee…because they have THE POWER.

And a barista shared a video on TikTok where she joked about Starbucks baristas apparently “decaffing” customers who are rude to them.

The woman shared a video with her co-worker where they’re shown covering their eyes and the text overlay reads, “When my coworker hits the decaf button for the rude customer.”

Hmmmm, I wonder if she can be trusted…
