I’m a Starbucks barista – what your autumn drink says about you & why we’re wary of people who ask for a PSL
NOTHING screams autumn more than a hot drink from a coffee shop.
But depending on whether you order a classic Americano or a festive Pumpkin Spice Latte- the drink you order says a lot about you.
Speaking to Fabulous, Christina, an ex-Starbucks barista reveals exactly what your autumn drink order says about you.
Pumpkin Spice Latte
It tends to be the go to drink to order during the winter months, and if it’s your order then it means your full of nostalgia says the former barista.
Christina said: “You want to relive the first time you tried this drink, which means customers who order it are usually very picky about how it comes as they want it just right.”

Hot chocolate
Going to a coffee shop for a hot chocolate has always been a topic of controversy for baristas.
“You don’t like coffee, and you’re probably quite childish,” reveals Christina.
Hot chocolates often come with whipped cream on top, but if you’re also ordering extra syrup and marshmallows then the ex-barista explains you’re probably fussy and rude if you don’t get things exactly how you want them.
Mocha
If you’re someone who likes to spice up their coffee with a hint of chocolate then you’re a balance, down to earth person says Christina.
the ex-barista adds: “They’re usually the nicest customers to enter the store, they never make a fuss and are just happy to get their caffeine hit.”
Frappuccino
Ordering a Frappuccino when it is minus freezing outside tells baristas one thing, you’re obsessed with social media and you’re probably under the age of 18.
The ex-barista said: “Crazy people who are only doing it for social media, mainly teenagers who want to come across as adults but hate the taste of coffee.
“I think you must have been born and raised in Alaska if you’re drinking this in winter, how can you drink something with that much ice in winter?”
Americano
The classic black coffee you can choose to add milk to is for those who just want a hit of caffeine and don’t care how it comes.

Christina said: “It’s a classic, most people who drink this are straight to the point, they don’t want to waste anyone’s time or want loads of options.”
She added that most people who order an americano do so all year round and are usually busy-bodied business people.
