A Starbucks Barista Said Her Store Is So Busy She Can’t Even Use the Bathroom

I used to work on a food truck and sometimes we were in some pretty strange places…

This meant that if we were slammed with customers, I didn’t have the opportunity to run off for a minute and use the restroom!

And that was never any fun…

So I can sympathize with this young woman who shared a TikTok video where she talked about how the Starbucks location she works at is so busy that she can’t even take a bathroom break.

Her text overlay reads, “anyone else can’t even use their store’s restroom because it’s always so busy??”

She added, “Starbucks give us employee bathrooms!”

In a comment, a viewer asked, “Isn’t it legally required for you to have your own bathroom?”

She replied, “They consider having a customer bathroom as the employee bathroom.”

That doesn’t sound good…

Check out her video and see what you think.

And here’s what folks had to say on TikTok.

One person offered a solution for how to deal with this.

Another TikTokker said they have an employees-only restroom at Dutch Bros.

And one viewer said they also have their own where they work and customers ARE NOT allowed in.

I think it’s wild that Starbucks, with all that money, doesn’t have a bathroom for their employees.

That’s a HUGE oversight by corporate.
