Influencers Using Pumpkins to Stay Doing the Most to Inconvenience Starbucks Baristas

It’s the biggest time of year for the most annoying people you know, the ones who lose their minds over PUMPKIN EVERYTHING as soon as a single brownish leaf touches the ground.

Every year, companies lean in to the pumpkin pandemonium more and more but the pinnacle of it all is Starbucks with their Pumpkin Spice Latte. Influencers flock to the long drive-thrus and pick-up counters to get their cups with handwritten messages on them to incessantly post about their PSL’s with increasingly inconvenient add-ons and now, we fear, they may have gone too far.

While we can commend them for their eco-friendliness with this new trend, we’re pretty sure most baristas won’t love having a pumpkin shoved in their face because you expect them to make your drink in it. But what do we know…we can hear the Ugg boots clomping towards our doors now.
