Recently, some netizens accidentally noticed that the clerk at the bar was cutting watermelons and preparing grapes and a pot of ice water while drinking coffee at Starbucks, which immediately aroused people's curiosity.

Every muggy summer, cold and comfortable fruit tea and coffee have become summer drinks for many consumers, and this has prompted brands to launch various seasonal limited fruit drinks one after another in the summer, with real fresh fruit as a selling point to attract consumers to buy.

So as soon as he saw the shop assistant cutting watermelons, the netizen's first reaction was whether Starbucks was going to launch a new product with watermelon flavor. Immediately go to the social platform to search for the latest information about the brand. But to her surprise, there was no gossip about the new product on the platform, and no one revealed the slightest news. So the blogger posted a post asking, hoping that someone could answer her questions.

After hearing the news, Starbucks friends immediately knew that each other had a misunderstanding after reading the blogger's questions, saying bluntly that the watermelons cut by employees were not the raw materials of the new products expected by bloggers, but their employees' afternoon tea.

Many people posted their photos in the comment area one after another, and on the table were not only fruit plates made of fresh fruit, but also Starbucks' own cakes and drinks, which were the envy of some netizens. I was amazed that Starbucks' employee benefits should not be wrong. Drinking coffee at work and having afternoon tea during the break is really the dream of working workers.

However, most shop assistants will not be happy with the welfare when they see a dazzling array of fresh fruits and drinks and snacks on the table. Because as soon as these sweet fruits appear, it means that Starbucks employees can not escape the two "nightmares" of the moon cake, it is coming!

July is now halfway through, and it is getting closer to the Mid-Autumn Festival in September. Starbucks mooncakes, which have been sold for 14 years, arrived on schedule and landed in offline stores yesterday. According to official publicity, this year's mooncake gift box is much the same as last year, adding cheese, strawberry and apple grapefruit flavors to the classic coffee and cream mooncakes.

Some partners said that when shooting promotional photos of moon cakes, stores will buy fruits, snacks, etc., and cut them into exquisite fruit plates to serve as background props. After taking the picture, everyone can sit around the table and enjoy this afternoon tea and try this year's moon cake. At the same time, you should honestly listen to the person in charge give an "inspirational speech" and share the moon cake sales skills you have accumulated over the years with the ignorant newcomers.

So this benefit that netizens envy is a "sweet burden" for Starbucks partners. Its appearance marks the official start of this year's mooncake sales and indicates that migrant workers will worry about KPI in the next two months.

However, although we know that the real purpose of this afternoon tea is to "beat chicken blood", most people will not resist to participate, after all, eat something sweet before you can deal with the later suffering.
