A woman revealed a hack for how to purchase a large cup of Pumpkin Cream Cold Foam from Starbucks for only 80 cents. Viewers were torn after some Starbucks baristas aired their disapproval of the hack.
In the now-viral video, TikToker Nish is seen carrying her Starbucks drink while walking through a Target.
Flaunting the drink, Nish says, “Okay, this just in. You can get a venti cup of the pumpkin cold foam for 80 cents.”
Many viewers were left confused about how she only paid 80 cents for the drink.
“Buts it’s a $1.25 to add it to my drink?” one viewer asked.
“I thought it was a dollar to just add it to the top of my drink??” another questioned.
“Lmao cold foam is $1.25 at the stores in my town,” a third added.
Starbucks baristas strongly urge people to not do this. Especially at corporate-owned Starbucks locations.
“Everyone please don’t do this at a corporate store! we are NOT allowed to do this,” one barista urged.
According to Starbucks baristas of TikTok, Target locations play by different rules than corporate-owned stores.
“NOOOO we can’t do this guys. corporate Starbucks are different than Target ones. Target ones kind of have their own rules lol,” another confirmed.
“Please don’t do this , no you can’t I’ll tell you no and then you will yell at me , save us both the time please,” another viewer pleaded.
“at target ya but not a regular starbucks, when a barista tells u no for a weird request like this their manager is prob watching the cams in the back,” someone added.
On its website, Shop Food explained the difference between the two types of locations. They said, “Starbucks in a Target store is not owned and operated by Starbucks, and therefore it is not an actual Starbucks location. Target licenses the Starbucks brand name, and the people who work at Target Starbucks are Target employees. The same rule applies to other Starbucks locations in Kroger, Barnes & Noble, and Meijer stores.”
So, if you plan on trying this to add to your own coffee at home, make sure you do it at the right location.
