Hey, it’s the thought that counts, right?

A woman showed TikTokkers the funny mix-up she experienced when a Starbucks worker wrote a nice message on her coffee cup because she was wearing green scrubs.

The woman who posted the video filmed herself in a mirror.

The video’s text overlay reads, “Went to Starbucks in my scrubs and the man wrote ‘Thank you for saving lives’ on my cup.”
