We\u2019ve compiled a list of some of the craziest viral meltdowns the chain has ever seen. Starbucks stands as one of the most popular takeout chains of all time. People love nothing more than heading down to their local store to grab a Frappuccino or a Caramel Macchiato. Sometimes, however, customers get a little too obsessed, shall we say, leading to some viral videos where people have full-on meltdowns when their coffee-based wishes aren\u2019t fulfilled. Below, we\u2019ve put together some of the most insane, bizarre, and unhinged Starbucks meltdowns of all time, so get ready to witness some crazy so-called \u201cKarens\u201d at work. Starbucks customer destroys display In this first video, we can see a woman having a dispute with one of the workers at the chain. Dressed in shorts and a tank top, she is seen at the counter of a Starbucks, having a heated conversation with one of the workers. She can be heard shouting \u201cYou don\u2019t know how to f**king listen. Do your f**king job.\u201d This is quickly followed by a full-on meltdown, where she destroys the display by the register, dragging it all the way down to the floor before stomping away. \u2018Karen\u2019 throws drinks at Starbucks barista in drive-thru In the next viral video, a Starbucks employee was filmed after a \u2018Karen,\u2019 went to town on her. We don\u2019t know the nature of the dispute, but the woman can be heard demanding her name in order to report it to the manager of the chain. \u201cActually, you can go ahead and refund me,\u201d she says, changing her mind. Things quickly take a turn, as the customer starts flinging drinks at the employee. \u201cI\u2019m gonna press charges on you!\u201d the employee warns. \u201cYou threw something at me, what do you think was going to happen?\u201d This doesn\u2019t stop her from throwing one last drink over the employee, however, before finally driving off. Starbucks customer yells gibberish at employee In a bizarre TikTok video, a customer at the chain lost their mind, screaming unintelligibly at an employee: \u201c\u2026training program that this is (unintelligible) it is not illegal to yell here! Excuse me ma\u2019am you are (unintelligible) visiting the city!\u201d she rages in a fit of indecipherable words. \u201cGet the f**k out of here. Get the f**k out lady. Get the f**k out,\u201d the person filming the video can be heard saying, as she finally rages out of the store, before finally deciding to yell some further nonsense. She finally departs, and the store all laugh and clap. Starbucks worker fired over viral argument This altercation went viral after a trans Starbucks worker lost their cool with a customer. The video begins with the barista in question screaming in a woman\u2019s face, to which she replies \u201cDon\u2019t ever call me transphobic. EVER!\u201d To which they reply \u201c(sic) called me a her\u2026 You\u2019re being transphobic, Karen. Now get out.\u201d At this point, the barista is so enraged that they begin clapping in the woman\u2019s face aggressively. After they see they are being filmed, they then charge over to grab the person\u2019s phone before the video cuts. Starbucks customer loses it over mask In a viral video from 2020, a mom lashed out when a Starbucks employee asked her to pull her mask up. In the video, the woman can be heard saying: \u201cI\u2019m not going listen to anything you say to me when you talk to me like that.\u201d \u201cOkay, that\u2019s fine, but next time when you come in, I\u2019m going to need you to keep your mask on,\u201d the employee replies. This is when things got nasty. \u201cAnd I know it\u2019s because you\u2019re discriminating against me because I\u2019m a Trump supporter. F**k Black Lives Matter,\u201d she says. \u201cNo, it\u2019s not a law,\u201d she continued. \u201cThis is America, and I don\u2019t have to do what you say. Trump 2020\u2026 F**k you,\u201d she said, finally finished. These are just some of the weird, wonderful, and sometimes scary moments that have taken place at Starbucks. Some people really need their coffee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 5 viral Starbucks customer meltdowns of all time Wikimedia CommonsStarbucks\u2019 customers are somewhat earning a reputation for getting rowdy.
