Starbucks workers give out free drinks to customers after getting fired TIKTOK: _kiraamarieeA group of Starbucks employees have gone viral on TikTok for giving out free drinks to customers after getting fired. In a viral video, TikToker Kira (_kiraamariee) filmed herself and her colleagues at their Starbucks store in the Montclair Mall, getting ready to give out a bunch of free drinks to customers all day. Kira turned the camera to show a male barista holding a tray of Frappuccinos, before following him through the mall and into a Kids Foot Locker, where he delivered a tray of drinks to an employee. \u201cPOV: We got fired so we giving out free fraps,\u201d she wrote over clip. \u201cI just know y\u2019all are fun to be around,\u201d one viewer commented. \u201cWait what, how?\u201d another questioned, to which Kira replied, \u201cWe went on strike then they terminated us for doing a no call no show.\u201d In a follow-up clip, Kira revealed that she was employed at a licensed Starbucks location, and that the store had been shut down for over a week because the owner hadn\u2019t paid the water bill. Consequently, she and her co-workers went weeks without receiving their pay. \u201cWe all asked for unemployment reinforcement. They all denied it. That was that\u201d Kira explained. She also said that despite being a shift lead, she received the same hourly wage as a newly hired barista. The situation worsened when, as she recounted, the company posted job openings on Indeed with higher pay rates than what current employees were receiving. Kira claimed to have raised her concerns with HR alongside her co-workers in a group chat. They received a response after a five-day wait, which read: \u201cOK. If you guys strike, you\u2019re getting terminated.\u201d The content creator said that she and her colleagues didn\u2019t show up for their shift the next day, resulting in their termination. Upon visiting the store the following day, she found it understaffed and struggling. One of her former colleagues had to get rid of the mocha syrup as a result, however, Kira had an alternative solution. \u201cGo make some Frappuccinos and let\u2019s pass it out,\u201d she stated. \u201cThat\u2019s really the tea,\u201d she concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
