You Have To See This Starbucks Barista's Cup Doodles
Starbucks' baristas are notorious for getting creative with names. But who can blame them? Long lines, the morning rush, and the sweet, seductive smell of coffee would mess with anyone's spelling skills. However, one barista in Toronto is forgoing names altogether — and customers can't get enough. Instead of scribbling illegible names onto each paper cup, Jason Tocewicz is adding doodles, caricatures, and famous animated faces to each order.
Hello Giggles reports that his skills are so renowned, in fact, that customers are going out of their way to visit his particular branch. The site explains that Tocewicz started the artistic endeavor to get to know his customers. However, it's grown from getting chummy to a form of stress relief for the coffee-slinging artist, who says that he can finish a doodle in 10 to 30 seconds. That's often quicker than the time it takes to craft one of Starbucks' espresso beverages. If you want one of your own, you'll have to head to store 4308, which is the hashtag Tocewicz uses on some of his cartoon cups.
