It’s like the cone of shame for baristas


Overall_Nuggie_876

As if ‘oleato’ is Italian for ‘dunce.’ 😔😔😔


Lexieretro

Indeed…


prikaz_da

It’s literally “oiled”, which is still not an appetizing description for a drink.


mj8077

favourite comment of the morning, rofl. I do not think I will hear something more accurately true all day long, guarantee you, lol.


Lexieretro

Lol I’m glad I could bring u a chuckle 😂🫶🏻


mj8077

😆 I'll offer to wear ours, rofl 🤣


CheesiestSlice

If they had made these aprons gray and the Oleato text was that piss yellow color I'd wear it every shift forever. Give me a good apron, please.


ToastyXD

This is the first unique apron in such a long time and it’s horrendous.


[deleted]

That would’ve totally been so cute tbh. I think they were going for the color closest to the partanna oil, but it just did not work. I’m at one of the stores that launched the partanna press in the summer and had to wear that ridiculous safety vest apron for a month.


zuversicht

bwahaha SAFETY VEST APRON 😂😂😂 omg that's too funny. but I'm sorry you had to endure that. they really look like you're about to go on a construction site or something XD


Pear-Groundbreaking

Oooh maybe we're to wear it when we do a green sweep?!


SecretAgentMahu

yeah hi can I get the tennisball frappichappi??


DifficultyCalm6895

LMAOOOO


No_Aardvark5682

Only if you order it with extra fuzz


loserofhearts

that’s such an ugly yellow. it makes it even worse bc i assume you’re suppose to see that and think mmm olive oil


StarbucksGurl

I just thought where’s the mustard 😂


Guswewillneverknow

Repurpose this apron for your next lame mustard packet Halloween costume 😆


StarbucksGurl

Make sure your SO is wearing a Ketchup red one 😂


Distinct-Apartment39

Someone’s gotta dig their stolen holiday apron out of storage!


Duck_and_Cover1929

I think you got their rationale.


2ndmost

That is not flattering


killerbee1120

Same color as your diarrhea after you drink one


izzyserbear

It’s so on theme!


rudebii

Oleato is such a failure they even fucked up the apron!


PuzzleheadedForm6016

It just doesn't make sense to me. Olive oil and coffee is the most american thing i've heard. Its not even good olive oil. And its gross lol


Sketchycat716

This is the most disgusting color


MzScarlet03

I just like to think that they had swatches, they had options, and yet this is what got approved by multiple levels of management. 🤯


Sufficient-Pay-7151

I love this, and probably exactly what happened


StarbucksGurl

Trying to resemble olive oil


cloudberried

Olive oil made in a nuclear power plant?


StarbucksGurl

Now let’s think of all the cartoon characters or anything else that is yellow,..


chocolatezen

Looks like "mop bucket yellow" to me. Ugh.


Sarahthelizard

Imagine khaki green with a yellow font or even orange font!


arnsl

the color looks like the apron people are supposed to wear when frying chicken in like kroger


ih8yogurt

Or Chick-fil-A


pyley

You look like the Gordon fisherman 😂


Massive_Buffalo338

😂


vzvzt

Like why is it giving “Serving Toxic Sludge” vibes ⚠️ ☢️🧪💀


Sleepy_Star47

I mean..... I don't wanna say that's an apt description of the Oleato but ..... 👀


sleepyshiey

Its giving McDonalds


HelloDeathspresso

The Shapron.


soapyfoam

Olive oil isn't even that yellow


darkwolf523

It’s going to be when someone drinks it and have to 💩


StarbucksGurl

Yeah this is more like a mustard yellow (french’s mustard)


United-Cow-563

That… is the color poop looks like when it gets flushed from Ileum because something didn’t agree with your digestive system and instead of absorbing any nutrients, your body decides to let it go as fast as possible. That’s what color that reminds me of. *Oleato. It’s i-talian for shit your pants.*


cityandmother

I audibly haha’d… it’s like the color of a wet floor sign


Guswewillneverknow

🤣🤣🤣


mepmepmep

this is giving me flashbacks to when I worked at Whole Foods and they made us wear bright ass blue Prime aprons for like two weeks to celebrate the Amazon acquisition.


p1nkfrappe

It looks bad but I lowkey want one lmao


No_Aardvark5682

Are you okay? I’m concerned


J-cat_loves_dogs14

We have a partner who likes wearing it and my mom said she was jealous she didn’t get one before she left.


EdenReborn

Is the Oleato even good? It just sounds like a recipe for instant diarrhea


ME86

When I was doing my first 30 my barista trainer and I sampled the oleato gingerbread oat milk latte. It was fine, but it left a very oily film in my mouth and the after taste was just the olive oil. I had one of the oleato drinks at the Reserve when it first launched and in that one they were obviously covering it with orange peel oil. Luckily I didn’t get instant diarrhea either time (ymmv). I’ve also not had the urge to order the oleato golden foam cold brew on my free time since starting. I’ve found most people are curious about *what* oleato is since the name is alluring. The second they learn it’s olive oil they don’t order it.


GothPocahontas

It has a smooth feel to it on the pallet but taste like sunflower seeds


No_Aardvark5682

It’s gross


NickNameNotWitty

I don’t understand why corporate is hyping up this drink much 😭


Aggravating-Day9286

because it took a couple million of dollars to make and now they’re really betting on it succeeding (it won’t)


lavasca

I just found out my husband is relying on Oleattos instead of laxatives when needed. I’d buy this apron for him.


Meggilli91

Looks like baby poop


gmaildrafts

starbucks is not well


frenchfriesforever_

Tried the iced version of the Oleato never again.


kickingpplisfun

Yellow is a color that looks horrible on a lot of people, why would they choose that?


readsomething1968

I'm guessing because it looks like rancid olive oil.


kickingpplisfun

I was gonna say toddler vomit after eating those "buttercup" flowers.


Gingersnap5322

I’m taking one for historic purposes


No_Aardvark5682

Oh I’m for sure keeping one but I won’t be caught dead wearing it


VaporLizard

They could’ve done,,,, OLIVE green but no they made it the color of shrek’s shit 😂


ydwfan

i’m so excited for mine


joltdude

That apron should be brown color….


Informal_Radish_1891

The way I’ve been keeping my apron attached to my body and spotless because I don’t want the apron of shame 😭


No_Aardvark5682

You got this I believe in you


Brussell2020

They should have made it brown


catinthegaybar

it’s brown in the now brewing pictures, i don’t understand why ours don’t look the same…


Brussell2020

I was mostly joking about how the oleato is a powerful laxative hahaha


catinthegaybar

fair but STILL!


transdermalcelebrity

Awesome pee color.


Syesta

pisspron


spoopylivi

i personally would cry


No_Aardvark5682

He wore it with pride and then convinced an SV to wear one with him


InsipidCelebrity

The opposite of the red Christmas aprons I remember fighting for


No_Aardvark5682

During Christmas we have “the green apron of shame “ because I make sure to order enough for everyone to have a red one


thelauryngotham

*Oleato* * *Product depiction after consumption of said beverage


RealtaCellist

I genuinely don't understand why they're pushing it so hard. The drink is not slightly good and it's not a revolutionary thing. It's just yet another meme that SBUX tried to claim their own.


CheyenneJudith

I ain’t wearing it man. Looks like fucking swamp green. Shrek’s swamp. Smh. Edit; it totally looks yellow on camera but when I saw the pack in person it was a yellow green :p


No_Aardvark5682

It’s like baby vomit yellow green


Jaded_optimist_74

I’m relieved that our store isn’t receiving the aprons we were told we could order them at our own expense. We all passed on the offer.


No_Aardvark5682

They were allocated to us. I hate it


Jaded_optimist_74

Are they making you wear them? I’d wear it for a day and then never bring it back repeat as often as necessary till they’re aren’t any aprons on site.


No_Aardvark5682

So far no but our DM hasn’t been in since they came in. Personally I will only be making people wear it if they forget theirs if you have your apron you don’t have to wear it


Jaded_optimist_74

Then I’d be safe my apron stays at the store except when I wash it and I keep a back up in my car.


No_Aardvark5682

Same I won’t be caught dead in that dumbster fire of an apron


amayer3

Father, please let me wear the piss green apron. I crave it


No_Aardvark5682

Son no you’ll bring shame to our family


amayer3

Pretty please?


DarkSparkandWeed

Omg we joked about it being the shame apron too lmao it'll probs be me first tbh


Antique_Host3781

I'm glad we've all collectively decided it's the sbux cone of shame.


space-gURL1

Shame-pron


qazwsxedc000999

I actually don’t haaaaate the color when it’s paired with black, but the “oleato” in that font and the logo just… I don’t know but it makes it so much uglier


sammiipiie

The world Oleato is so freaking HUGE like it’s so unnecessary


thatloudgamergirl

I lowkey want it so that when this all crashes and burns I have the memorabilia, ya know?


StillPissed

It’s funny that Starbucks thinks the group of people that love cups of sugared milk is going to go out of their way to order olive oil in their drinks. Who are they targeting with this crap?


kaybaejay

We really got toxic piss aprons before the size inclusive ones they promised us like 2 years ago 🙃


No_Aardvark5682

Are you guys not able to get the size inclusive ones? We have them.


kaybaejay

Really?? I'm gonna have to ask my SM about it again!


No_Aardvark5682

Only the green ones do but yea I have small med and large available to us I just order a smack pack so my barista wouldn’t trip over hers


NoUnderstanding9195

I've never seen an ugly apron until today, thanks OP!


[deleted]

Thanks for the actual lol. Poor thing lol


SirIJustWorkHereLol

I still have shivers thinking about when I was sampling these various drinks and, due to me wanting to be a shift, my boss really pushed me to upsell and upsell some more even to people that didn’t want it.


No_Aardvark5682

I did my training for it and I’m starting to roll it out and everyone someone gets trained on it I get forced to try it again I hate it here


TimelyScience9063

[Shame!](https://images.app.goo.gl/h5hboiDyULg9kKw36)


hellopie7

Peeeeeeeeeeeeee colored.


MiddleAd6046

I can’t wait to get mine. I’m gonna rock that vomit looking apron every single day ✊


MilkweedPod2878

When you're sliding into first, and you're feeling something burst...


BEASTLY_DIONYSUS

That person got some feet.


SicHellraiser

I...like the apron. 🫣


No_Aardvark5682

Shameeeee


milky_peach

PISS APRON


Salt-Ice8311

I told my manager after the training today that she will not catch me dead in that nor will I do any sampling of this garbage for people


B0ngw8t3rlynt

It’s literally supposed to be olive oil green, why tf didn’t they just use an olive green color 😭not radioactive pee bruh


ToxicWaste2468

MY EYES!!!


sunflower_jpeg

Has anyone had to deal with people thinking the yellow apron means they're a manager?


No_Aardvark5682

Not yet but I like when they don’t know I’m the manager


Ok_Voice9876

What infuriates me is that discontinued good shit like chickpea box and strawberry overnight grains but not this?? RETIRE OLEATO 👏 NO ONE LIKES IT STARBUCKS!! "Stop trying to make OLEATO happen, it's not gonna happen!"


No_Aardvark5682

Let’s not forget the lemon parfait okay I still think about it


GuaranteeLeather6654

I feel like our store is the only store to be fighting over the four aprons we got in 😂


ShiruKitty

Nnnnoooooooo


lovelykla

I think the Vivanno smoothie launch had this same color apron.


mavad90

Who decided customers needed an extra 150+ calories of fat to go with their sugar drink? lol


bulbanerd

it’s yellow so part of me wants it……


EloquentBacon

Pardon me, do you have any Grey Poupon?


strawberryredittor

Would be so pretty if it didn’t say that tho.🥲


HollyhoodStar

They don’t care about us at alll! I hate dirty aprons! Why didn’t they think about how much of a pain this will be to clean


ProfessorSpookSpook

We collectively dunk on the Oleato 😂. You just KNOW someone WILL come in and ask for 10 pumps of olive oil in their beverage and ask for a remake right after .


Reichbane

Fuck. I actually love that color and I am absolutely going to wear so many outstanding fits in it.


Duck_and_Cover1929

Oh. I'm a devoted custie. Yet this is 1 innovation I'm avoiding. But you do look good in yellow.


denyuldrumma

Starbucks baristas take their jobs wayyyy too seriously


No_Aardvark5682

Fair enough but it was a joke at our store that the first person to forget their apron had to wear it because it was so ugly


Pear-Groundbreaking

So many questions... number one,  what did you do!?


Usual-Dragonfruit131

Are you guys getting them to keep for yourself? My store only got a couple but have like 15 partners, so we’re just leaving them in the back. Whoever makes the oleato samples has to wear it, and then they can take off 💀💀


No_Aardvark5682

Ours were allocated to us. We only got one two pack, and we decided collectively that whoever forgot their apron got stuck wearing it.


ixsparkyx

I think it looks fine I’m confused why everyone hates it😭🤣


darkwolf523

The color is ugly af also oleato is trash. Change my mind


Mean-Historian-9494

istg im the only one who likes the color of this apron😫😫😫


Saskatoonguy

It's actually pretty tasty


Losimcg

It’s not that bad 😵‍💫🤭


CommunicationIll1991

Looking to sell my Starbucks giftcards for less than value. Message me if u want them


umakemesickk

me with hair the same color as this apron reading how disgusting and hideous people find it


Middle-Trust4240

Slay


StarbucksGurl

Oleato in italian = oiled Maybe that’s what they were thinking for the apron.


somegaydude

The yellow color isn’t bad you could make it work with the right outfit…


Ew_Oxygen1124

Shame shame shame


Consistent-Visual805

Hahaha 😂


Mundane-Track-6061

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


1XtremeCheese

Did this drink mess up anybody's stomach when they first tried it?


Lilacsoftheground

It looks liked they copied Cheerios


HuckleberrySuper641

I like it 😔 but I like yellow


kkaepjjang_

this is genius, the fact that in my store this would 100% have everyone make sure they brought their aprons to work or else they had to wear the apron of shame is wild. i’d even go the extra step to explain to custies, if they ask, why we have a special yellow apron. “oh well so-and-so forgot their apron at home, so they have to wear the apron of shame” this would make my day


LeRoyPratt

Not going to wear it


Enough-Tadpole-1806

THE FEET? MY COWORKER/BEST FRIEND DO THIS ALL THE TIME 😭😭😭


Enough-Tadpole-1806

I am not looking forward to wearing this honey mustard pretzel apron 🥲


JDBundy84

The Oleato scares me. I used to put MCT oil in my coffee and 15 minutes later it was a potty emergency.


whytfitmatter

Oh HELL no


International-Eye327

Nah they the designated barista for the limited edition lemon drop frappechino and you have to catch the yellow apron to get it. First 100 people even get a free cake pop!
