I’m a Starbucks barista — this is why I’m constantly crying in the bathroom

A woman claiming to be a Starbucks barista says she is “constantly” crying in the bathroom — and rude customers are to blame.

The employee, known only as Avery, made the claim in a viral TikTok video, which has quickly clocked more than 160,000 views.

The 17-year-old posted the clip on Aug. 8, revealing that she’s worked at a Starbucks in Michigan for the past 18 months.

The teen TikToker shared a throwback snap from her first day on the job, writing: “Me being so excited to work at Starbucks and be a partner and have free coffee all the time.”

Avery contrasted the image with a recent photo that showed her bent down on the floor of the franchise, as if in a state of defeat.

“Me a year and a half in, being exhausted all the time, having to deal with rude people every shift, and constantly crying in the bathroom,” she wrote over the top of the image.

The Post has reached out to Starbucks for comment.

Avery didn’t disclose the exact kind of “rude” behavior that caused her to often burst into tears — but the video attracted comments from other Starbucks workers who shared similar sentiments.

“Been there for 4 years now I can confirm it doesn’t change,” one burned-out barista wrote.

“Working at Starbucks gave me PTSD,” an ex-employee chimed in, without revealing why they were so traumatized by the coffee chain.

Meanwhile, other viewers of Avery’s TikTok claimed the coffee makers were being dramatic and had nothing to complain about.

“Y’all act like making freaking coffees is the hardest job in the world,” the detractor declared.

Avery responded, insisting that she actually enjoys working at Starbucks, saying: “I love my job, or I wouldn’t work there. But are there things I’d change about it? Yes. It is a mentally exhausting job.”

Avery isn’t the only Starbucks employee to lash out at rude customers on social media.

TikTok user Kim Porter recently hit headlines after she blasted impolite patrons who “steady stare” at her while she makes their drinks.

Meanwhile, former Starbucks worker Shabaz Ali claimed he got revenge on rude customers by serving them decaf coffee.

This trend comes as working conditions at Starbucks are in the news as stores across the country start to unionize.

Back in December, a Buffalo-area store became the first Starbucks-owned outlet to unionize, with hundreds of outlets soon following suit.

As of Aug. 3, 209 Starbucks stores have officially unionized, according to the National Labor Relations Board, with many voting to join the large, established Workers United union.
