PIC: Barista’s attempt to chat up a customer goes viral

Fromantic or crappuccino?

Fromantic or crappuccino?

If you’ve ever worked in retail then you’ll know that there are times when the daily grind can be a soul crushing experience because specific customers have a tendency to get on your nerves. Rude and impatient people usually get treated with disdain but on the flip side, there are always a few people that ‘brighten’ up your mood.

It’s not a coincidence that the majority of these perky customers are people that you usually fancy. Don’t judge, everyone’s the same.

It seems that this Starbucks barista tried to mix business with pleasure but ended up looking like a mug after he tried to charm a customer by the name of Laura Roberts via her coffee cup.

The original heat warning on the bottom of the cup read “Careful, the beverage you’re about to enjoy is extremely hot” but the latte making Lothario doctored it to read “Careful, you’re extremely hot”.

The chat up attempt backfired because Miss Roberts’s mother found out about it and shared the image on the Facebook page S**t London.

It seems that Laura didn’t mind the chat up attempt because she told The Mail that ”He’s a nice boy and he wouldn’t have been trying to offend anyone. People should just take it as a joke and I want him to know that. He’s very nice but sadly for him I’m taken.”
