A guy named Andrew had a Starbucks Gold card (which gets you a free drink of your choice after you buy 12) and a single goal: to beat the previous world record for the most expensive Starbucks drink ever.
As anyone who has accomplished anything in life will tell you, thorough prep is key to achieving your goals. With 128-ounce glass in hand, Andrew stepped into Starbucks and enlisted the help of his friendly local Starbucks baristas.
Thus, the legend of the Sexagintuple Vanilla Bean Mocha Frappuccino was born. Total cost: $54.75. But for Gold-card holding Andrew, it was free.
This person is a complete fucking asshole. Anyone who likes this post has clearly never worked retail or food service.
Actually, if I remember the story correctly, he waited until the slowest time in the day, and the baristas were excited about it and actually actively tried to help him find something that would be insanely expensive and fun to make and still taste good. The original Reddit story explained that everyone involved had a great time making it.
Yes, I agree that someone just coming along and doing this during regular business time would be a total dick. The sentiment definitely stands. But in the end here, the only things actually harmed were the blood sugar of the person who drank this and Starbucks’ bottom line (which, let’s face it… $54 is nothing in their world).
