From time to time, it\u2019s nice to get something for free. Whether the person in front of you in the line pays it forward, or an employee makes you a little something extra, it\u2019s simply nice. But for TikToker Michelle who loves Starbucks, she has a rather sneaky way to get something for free \u2014 that something being a Starbucks drink. Since sharing her viral video to TikTok, Michelle has been under fire from viewers, as some have labeled her a \u201cKaren\u201d for getting away with a false claim to nab her free Starbucks drinks in the drive-thru. Starbucks lover called viewers \u201cdumb\u201d for calling her out for her free drink hack Though she tattled on herself in good fun, jokingly asking viewers to not make her TikTok video go viral, Michelle\u2019s Starbucks hack has inevitably taken social media by storm. For Michelle, waiting in the drive-thru line at Starbucks is a strenuous task, so she created a way to get her drink for free to make up for her time in line. In her now-viral video, Michelle explained that she would call ahead of time to say she was late for work or missed an interview while waiting in the Starbucks drive-thru line when in reality, she likely hadn\u2019t even ordered her drink yet. She then proceeds to drive to the window and receive her Starbucks order for free or at a 50% discount \u2014 every time. After TikTokers heard her drink hack, they flocked to her comments section to call her out for lying. Not only that, but some even hailed her as a \u2018Karen,\u2019 saying that she was exhibiting \u201cKaren behavior.\u201d Other reactions included, \u201cYour time management issues are not their problem\u201d and, \u201cHopefully they don\u2019t give you anything else for free. Not a hack, but you seem entitled and need to manage your time like most adults.\u201d One commenter even called Michelle out for lying, saying, \u201cYou\u2019re receiving free things and discounts under false pretenses. But do you, boo.\u201d Some viewers even called her \u201cnarcissistic\u201d and urged her to delete her video so she didn\u2019t receive the backlash that she ended up receiving. Not to mention, she could potentially be banned from Starbucks if an employee saw her video. In Michelle\u2019s video, she also explained why she decided to share her Starbucks drink hack, saying, \u201cI\u2019m only telling you cause I\u2019m leaving America.\u201d Michelle also uploaded a second video to respond to the criticism, saying, \u201cBeing gifted and stealing are two totally different things.\u201d She continued, \u201cIf they chose to give me Starbucks free or they chose to give me a 50% off discount, that\u2019s not stealing, you dumb*ss. Don\u2019t be mad because I\u2019m just getting my way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starbucks lover under fire for sharing \u2018Karen\u2019 hack to avoid drive-thru line TikTok: quanahmichelleA woman posted a Starbucks hack on her TikTok, only to get backlash from viewers after they heard the \u2018Karen\u2019 way she snags a free drink in the drive-thru line.
