In a viral TikTok, a group of Starbucks baristas reveals their least-favorite drinks and pastries to make. 

In the video, posted by a user known as Danielle (@thehighbarista), the TikToker asks her co-workers, “if you can get rid of anything on the menu, what would it be?” From there, the camera shifts to each barista as they gave their answer.

 “The pink drink and the spinach feta wrap,” says one barista.

“Mocha cookie crumble and caramel crunch,” responds a second.

“Espresso frappuccino and the chicken & bacon,” answers a third.

“Mocha cookie crumble and turkey pesto,” replies a fourth.

“Honey citrus mint tea and the bacon classic egg wrap,” a fifth announces while gagging.

“The pineapple passion fruit,” says a sixth.

“Free water,” jokes a seventh.
