“Good morning, welcome to Starbucks, where my anxiety is chronic but our coffee’s iconic. What can I get started for you?” the employee says to the customer. In the background, employees can be heard laughing at the employee’s customized greeting.
“A typical morning here at Starbucks with the morning crew,” Melody added in the video’s caption. Melody clarified in the comments section that the customer was laughing and said the employees “made her morning.”
