Despite its popularity, however, some people find the service to be a point of contention. In a new TikTok video, content creator Leilani (@leilanii_02) encouraged her viewers to skip Starbucks and instead check out another coffee chain, Dutch Bros. The video, which has almost 3 million views at the time of writing, includes Leilani\u2019s full rundown on why she has decided to avoid Starbucks when possible. \u201cDutch Bros is better than Starbucks and let me tell you why,\u201d Leilani begins. \u201cA couple of months ago I went to Starbucks \u2018cause I was craving something to drink. I asked the barista, \u2018Can you surprise me with the drink? Any drink, I don\u2019t mind.\u2019 She looks at me dead in the eyes and she said, \u201cMa\u2019am, we don\u2019t have time for this. Please just pick a drink.\u2019\u201d Leilani continued. \u201cToday, I went to Dutch Bros. As soon as I got there, there was already a line, but I asked the girl if she could surprise me with a drink. Not only did she not get angry with me, she asked me a ton of questions like \u2018Do you prefer coffee, Rebel, a soda, an energy drink?\u2019 I told her, \u2018Girl, just make me whatever you please,\u2019\u201d she added. \u201cThey ended up making me a cherry lime soda, which has pomegranate, lime, vanilla\u2026I don\u2019t know what else they put in here but it\u2019s so good. \u201cThey even wrote a cute note on my cup. It says \u2018I hope you enjoy it, by the way you\u2019re so pretty.\u2019 Made my whole freaking day,\u201d Leilani says as the video ends. Based on Leilani\u2019s comments section, it appears she is not the only coffee lover who shares this sentiment. \u201c10\/10 prefer Dutch Bros! They are always so nice and creative with their drinks,\u201d one viewer wrote. \u201cAnd Dutch Bros always make the drinks the same! Starbucks makes the same drink taste different EVERY TIME!\u201d another user added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starbucks slammed as employee refuses to make a \u201csurprise drink\u201d Unsplash: angelica reyesA TikToker is going viral for encouraging her viewers to stop buying coffee from Starbucks and instead visit another American coffee chain after a worker refused to make a \u201csurprise drink.\u201d When it comes to coffee chains, Starbucks is one of the biggest [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-70860","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70860","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70860"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70860\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70860"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70860"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70860"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
