Great for Starbucks. Free advertisement and shaming of customers wasting food and time with the added benefit of capturing inappropriate employee or customer behavior. It's fucking free analytics provided by the employees for their own amusement. Many of the people are vocal as to where their Starbucks are as well I believe so you could just tweak things that certain influential employees are doing if it puts the business in a bad light or if something were illegal etc.
What a time to be alive.
I work as Starbucks and for the most part we are all college kids or older. TikTok gives a really weird addition to our work because it's nice seeing stupid customers getting called out on TikTok but then you see stuff like this and it makes us seem like stupid kid workers who just mess around
Those blue trash bags are used specifically for our used coffee grounds, which get really heavy. I'd wager that's why. No one else has a trash bag that weighs 50lbs and can knock you down like that lol.
The blue bags are actually the recycling bags that a lot of stores use for the grounds. My old store used whatever trash bag they could find. But you’re guess is 100% right, it is the spent espresso
The bags aren’t the key; in Sbux it’s policy to double (or triple, depending on how big the grounds trash can is) bag the trash cans, to avoid gross leakage and breaking. The only time a grounds bag broke on me in my two years there was when it caught on a sharp edge of the dumpster and went all over me + the trash area at the end of a closing shift. Not fun.
Dang! I was completely wrong haha, someone who works there would know there was almost no risk of the bag breaking.. but didn't think about their skull.
It’s pretty normal to do the heave-swing to get grounds to the trash because they’re HEAVY (like, really heavy) and I’ve done it a billion times. Looks like home girl locked her knees when she stood up, so she either did it on purpose or underestimated the momentum a giant ass bag of grounds would have. The grounds are hefty and compact in a way that as long as she landed decently well on them (like at her mid/upper back) she’d have a lot of room between her head and the ground. All that said, it definitely looks staged to me. She locked her knees and knew to keep her neck straightened to avoid any chance of bopping the noggin.
We don’t have to imagine lol coffee grounds spill everywhere at least once a day. Other than water it’s honestly the least nastiest and easiest to clean thing you can possibly spill
Right? They make look like dirt but they are literally ground beans that were recently sanitized by pressurized boiling water.
Anyone who's worked at a coffee shop has been powdered, splashed, doused, and been elbow deep in coffee grounds. Grounds are nice, you can wipe them off and water rinses them away. Even if they're hot they don't penetrate clothes or stick either.
Coffee will burn you through clothes and milk gets nasty quick, god forbid either is sweetened now you're sticky too. Even if you dodge it you'll still be mopping afterwards. I'll take ground any day, nobody gets hurt and you can sweep them up. If you miss a bit you end up with a pile of dried grounds instead of rancid milk or ant bait too.
Dude oh my god yeah. The only thing worse is sweet cream, if you work at sbux too? with the heavy cream making everything slippery and oily but the vanilla making it sticky at the same time 🤢
I mean, I’ve done that when the new barista fucked up brewing, or when the cold brew filter broke, or when the new barista forgot to out a coffee filter in the giant pot…I don’t have to imagine it cause I did it haha. It’s part of the job.
I can easily imagine that, I used to have to do garbage at the end of the night for Starbucks in midtown nyc. Had the bags rip open on me multiple times trying to get it out the bin
It’s actually coffee grounds. I use to work at Starbucks and we would save the used grounds for customers to take because apparently it’s good for gardening?
Yes. Practically the ***first*** rule of food service is “Don’t contaminate anything.” Garbage is garbage, and garbage in any form is a contaminant. If things went wrong, you’d cost immense time and resources in having to clean the entire kitchen at the bare minimum.
According to other Starbucks employees in the comments, these age bags filled with coffee grounds which weigh a ton, so that's probably why they were filming
You posted on a sub about having your TV too high up with a TV that is too high up... what else were you expecting?
And from the comments on there it just looks like you're taking reasonable comments **very** personally.
>roast me you nit picking degenerates! tell me my tv is way too high and i’ll break my neck! my only enjoyment in life is seeing this sub get their panties in a bunch about how “high” my tv is AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA
... dude, take a break from the internet.
Once they realized how heavy the bag was one dared the other to try that.
'I dare you to try to lift that' was a pretty common thing to say in all the jobs I had before I started office work
Fun way to get fired, no? I mean im no party pooper or anything but thats not so safe. Kitchen area, people around, playing with trash around food, heat sources.... idk.
This is one of the pranks that we pulled on new employees. Most of the time it’s the bag of grounds from the cold brew. We also offer them a “brownie bite” which is the puck of ground espresso beans from the machine, and at my store we would ask them to “empty the hot water tank” (which we had insta-hot faucets so it’s just from the tap).
That's not trash lol it's most likely a bag of rags that they use to sop up the liquid spills on the counters. They back them up and put them in a bin for the company that swaps them out for clean rags.
Still extremely gross. If you've ever smelled their fermented rags in a trash bag, you'd never drink a Starbucks coffee again.
(I worked for Cintas and half my job was to make the rag swap at local Starbucks)
Honestly stupid as fuck to swing a bag of garbage around in a food prep area.
I'm glad at least one other person in this thread gets that.
Is this a Starbucks? Why is it always Starbucks...?
They probably have more workers addicted to tiktok per capita than any other company lol
Fucken hooters. I swear they are paying girls to livestream while on the clock.
Tag me when they skip all that and go straight to Onlyfans. Wings sound good then.

when i worked at starbucks the only additional thing we did during shift was inhale whipped cream chargers
Because Starbucks is awful and they need a way to make it through the day.
[удалено]
Good managers don't mean you get paid well.
Starbucks pays way better than most service jobs... I mean it's still not much, but better than most "unskilled labor."
because starbucks’ employees are 95% teenagers or fresh out of high school

The odds
Yeah, if you did this at a bar, you'd be dead with a thousand cuts from broken glass
It’s literally just coffee grounds tho, nothing else in a bux weighs that much
Imagine cleaning a bag full of nasty ass coffee grounds off of every surface and appliance in that area if it had ripped open.
And tbh I’m surprised it didn’t
I was too, that's why I commented here in the first place, I fully expected it to open up near the apex of that swing and go everywhere lmao.
Honestly I opened up the thread hoping someone would post recommendations for strong garbage bags that don't split.
Apparently you need to see who supplies garbage bags to Starbucks haha

Oh no the bags are thin af and we have to double bag EVERYTHING, I triple bag the one she’s taking out cuz it’s just so dense
Looks double bagged tbh
When I worked at Starbucks, we always double bagged the grounds and the bag still leaked sometimes

Milk spills 🤢
Have you ever had to clean heavy cream? That's one of the worse ones as well.
Dude oh my god yeah. The only thing worse is sweet cream, if you work at sbux too? with the heavy cream making everything slippery and oily but the vanilla making it sticky at the same time 🤢

Oh I have. We spill so much. Tbh tho this is the food service job with the least nasty trash I’ve ever had. Supermarket deli trash is way worse
False. The floor mats are heavier and spread out into a huge awkward rectangle. I fucking hated cleaning those.
False. The floor mats are not as heavy as a full grounds bag I can lift one in each hand
Legiterally
Yep. I don’t miss having to drag those out
Food scraps like pits, rotted parts, whatever does add up in weight pretty well. And in a kitchen the trash is probably mostly that and paper
Also, hopefully there isn’t anything sharp in the garbage..
Probably knows what's in it. Probably not garbage.
Coffee grinds from espresso machines
It’s actually coffee grounds. I use to work at Starbucks and we would save the used grounds for customers to take because apparently it’s good for gardening?
My parents use them. I think it's because it's basically already ground compost material.
Don’t worry. They’re not getting paid much /s
well, it would be nice if it was just a joke, unfortunately it isn't.
Yes. Practically the ***first*** rule of food service is “Don’t contaminate anything.” Garbage is garbage, and garbage in any form is a contaminant. If things went wrong, you’d cost immense time and resources in having to clean the entire kitchen at the bare minimum.
Omg I didn't thing of that
Neither did the people in the video.
Mmm bin juice Frappuccino
Sometimes the trash takes you out✊😔
In soviet russia
"Soviet Russian Trash, go fuck yourself"
“Starbucks island circa 2022”
In soviet russia, Putin is the trash
In any Russia, tbh
You…. I like you….
We'll be back there soon enough (jk really hope not)
Is this a new tiktok trend? Because I've seen other videos of people doing this exact thing
Of course it is or else would someone be videoing someone tying and taking out a trash bag.
Damn. Just killed my vibe. Wish it was real because I laughed so hard lol
I mean, it is real? She did know what was gonna happen, but she really just did a trust fall on a full trashbag
You're not real, man.
I miss living in Key West :(
What even is "real".
Is... rael
It is chicken, it is eggs, it is in between your legs.
Wake up to reality.
Wouldn't put it past the tiktok crowd.

Seems like a great way to cause a concussion and lose some braincells in the process. So this would be a perfect TikTok trend.
Ah yes. Never stop pitifully jaded, reddit.
Possibly worse. My friend died falling backwards and hitting the back of their skull.
It would make even more sense on Reddit
Seemingly pointless shit becomes a trend. The first guy was real and then basically the rest are fake.
See: water bottle flipping
You ever heard of people having fun?
Some dumb college kid is gonna do this and end up cutting their spine on an empty liquor bottle.
That's not my problem lol
And the majority of people will do it and have fun. Or we could just do our jobs in misery.
Sounds a lot like the internet. Oh wait, it is the internet!
It's a bad idea for sanitation too. Could be flinging drips of garbage liquid all over the kitchen.
Came here to say this. And what if the bag breaks?? That would be grounds for full kitchen shutdown
Only a matter of time before someone smashes the back of their head into the floor.

Still very graceful landing
Agree...nice straight back..feet together...great bag throwing technique..9.5/10
Minimal splash too
She’s currently in first, guaranteed at least a bronze, with only 2 trash slingers left.
Right you are, Ken!!
Narrowly avoided permanent brain damage.
Pretty sure that was their intention
For real. She doesn't even try and scramble to save herself.
Uh also why were they filming? A dope vid of her taking out the trash?
Nor does anyone try to help her or even seem concerned
Could've been WAY worse
I was absolutely expecting the bag to burst. What happened here isn’t even bad lol, she had a cushion to land on
[удалено]
If the handles on the bag were a little longer, she would have cracked her cranium open .. TIK TOK!
That ain't just trash, those are damp espresso grounds and they way a butt ton!
No weigh!
they're also very soft, so the landing is comfortable at least. (assuming that you don't break your spine in the process)
Came here to comment the exact same thing! Damn wet espresso grounds were the bane of my existence whenever I did trash runs
[удалено]
r/ididitfortheattention
Of course they did, the fall is very obviously intentional. It's also very satisfying and fun to watch, I love it.
This needs to be a thing
r/whyweretheyfilming
Duh to show this?
I normally try not to sling garbage around ready to eat food
tbh that was a satisfying falling
[удалено]
Then pay me at least 2x minimum wage
Why not? That seems like the best place to do it. Boss get a dollar, I get a dime, that's why I TikTok on company time.
So unexpected. Glad somebody was holding a camera at this exact moment.
probably the most wholesome video on this subreddit.
Honestly, shes lucky she was able to get up after that.
I've seen people recreating this and it's honestly dangerous, so dangerous! Chances of not falling on top of the bag are super high.
Pretty sure this was the intended result.
Holy shit these comments are judgmental
wHY WeRE tHeY FiLmInG lol reddit is insufferable most of the time
I've never seen so many wannabe boomers so proud that they aren't on TikTok. We get it, you're old. We'll get off your lawn.
No fucking joke lol. It’s a fun, light hearted video and these comments are sucking the life out of me
It looks like this was intentional
Me : *hi ho hi ho.... off to work we go* Manager : **your shift isn't over yet**
That's why Santa weighs 400 pounds.
I’m more interested in the quality of that trash bag what brand is that
Why is she throwing a bag of trash over her shoulder in a food prep area?
Why were they filming ?
To capture exactly this?
Did anyone else think the trash bag was going to rip and trash would go flying all over the place? Just me?
Nicely staged, thanks.
Why were they filming?
Once they realized how heavy the bag was one dared the other to try that. 'I dare you to try to lift that' was a pretty common thing to say in all the jobs I had before I started office work
This is 100% what she intended to do and is a current trend of people doing the same this.
Now you have trash juice and whatever else on the bottom of the bag flun all over your line, good job.
Has that old lady never worked before? Who does this?
How's she looking 22 and 41 at the same time
Oof, imagine there was something sharp in there?! Fuuuck
At least the bag broke her fall.
She just barely didn't paralyze herself.
lucky there wasn't a bloody toothpick in there
I was truly expecting the bag to break open and explode rancid milk and coffee grounds behind her
Fun way to get fired, no? I mean im no party pooper or anything but thats not so safe. Kitchen area, people around, playing with trash around food, heat sources.... idk.
This is one of the pranks that we pulled on new employees. Most of the time it’s the bag of grounds from the cold brew.

At first I was expecting the bag to rip out from the bottom and trash to go flying
went down like looney tunes character of a cliff lol
Idky but this video makes me feel great it’s real lighthearted and fun for everyone
Bag should get some credit here.. 99% of the time that bag breaks, shit goes everywhere…
She should consider herself lucky the bag didn't rip and fling trash everywhere
Today's lesson... Momentum
To fling a bag of trash around a restaurant like that, is so fucking stupid
Good thing no knives were thrown away today.
She… Really got dropped…
At least the old lady was good with it
Is that a bag of coffee grounds?
I would fire that employee in a heartbeat
Those trash bags of coffee grounds are hella heavy, she’s lucky it didn’t break too
u/savevideobot
u/savevideo
u/savevideo
I’m just thinking about all the trash particles from the bottom of the bag that flew all over the service area while flinging it 🤮
god damn physics
Well maybe don’t swing over your back like you’re fucking Santa Clause or don’t fill it up so much that it’s too heavy to carry?
That's not trash lol it's most likely a bag of rags that they use to sop up the liquid spills on the counters. They back them up and put them in a bin for the company that swaps them out for clean rags. Still extremely gross.

I had a tiny animated cartoon booklet with a guy dressed as Santa Claus doing exactly this, when I was a kid
Plz don’t swing full trash bags around in a food/beverage preparation area Kinda gross
“Your camera rolling ? I saw this go viral a couple weeks ago. Oh oooops!!! Hahaha”
Santa fat as fuck for a reason lol.
If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid.
Aww. I expected the bag to rip. That would have been better
Literally what she was trying to do.
