A woman appeared to attempt to hit on a Starbucks worker by telling him he was "cute" in a sing-song voice, and got some serious flack for it.
The video filmed by Tan @tanjewest ended up being a hoax, but it still triggered a fierce discussion on social media about the "harassment" of workers.
In the clip, she pulls up to the Starbucks Drive-Thru and then sings: "Hi, thank you for giving me this drink, you are pretty cute…"
The Starbucks employee slams the kiosk window shut and turns his back on her, while she laughs and her companion calls the worker "rude".
In the caption of the TikTok video, Tan wrote: "I was trying to shoot my shot with the cute Starbucks worker but he turned me down before I could even try… sooo embarrassed!"
The clip was watched 1million times on the video-sharing app and many people were shocked, with one commenting: "Don’t harass the employees for a trend.
"Reading the comments he sounds like he is your husband but, honestly, don’t do this to people who need the money."
A second viewer said: "Honestly, I love it when service workers don’t tolerate people using them for content."
"Girl we don’t get paid enough for you to be doing this there are other people in line waiting," commented a service worker.
The TikToker got many negative comments on the video and ended up revealing that the worker was actually her partner and it was a prank she had played on him while he was at work.
In a follow-up, she shows him in her car and jokes she has gotten him "fired" due to her attention-grabbing antics.
A relieved viewer told her: "I am SO glad to see that this is actually your husband and not a random guy just trying to do his job."
