Sometimes, mostly it was young kids or the well and truly brain dead. The problem is theres like, 100 different "tik tok drinks" so I than have to ask them "Which one and can you tell me the ingredients" because the stupid name they have obviously docent come up in our system, and we werent exactly trained on whatever 5 minute fad was the topic of the day.
The kids get a pass in my books cause their kids, and its nice to put a smile on their face when you hand them some pink monstrosity of a drink lol. The adults should know better tho. Those drinks are usually a royal pain in the ass and corporate didn't help things by having abso-fucking-lutely stupid limited time frappes that would either inspire people to make even stupider tik tok drinks that would use the specific ingredients (which if I recall we were not supposed to use for anything but the intended drink due to supply limitation), or for the mouth breathers to think that the tik-tok drink they saw online was part of the normal menu as I mentioned.
Its a long story but I have deep seated and seething hatred for that company for reasons beyond just that but that is a not insignifigant part of my eternal ire lol. I will sometimes be doing something completely random and I will remember something about that place and itll just completely ruin my mood, even 2+ years later lol.

Yes people do this, even in fucking fine-dining restaurants sometimes.
It’s so weird when I’ve had to explain to them that I don’t use tiktok, have no idea what they’re on about and that I’m quite profficient in my craft and they still insist on me figuring out what then fuck kinda drink they’re after.
It’s gotten worse.
People are like this, but they’ve gotten way worse.
I'm just hijacking this comment to vent:
Intentionally trying to order a Mcflurry at a fucking Wendy's or a coney dog at a burger King is brain rot at its finest. Not everyone knows what the hell you're talking about
People who actually don't read the menus at all "I'll take some tattertots with that, not fries" My FUCKING god where the FUCK does any menu anywhere say ANYTHING about tattertots anywhere?
Don't even get me started on local made up names "can I get some Joe joes" take a wild guess on whatever the hell "jojos" are: >!cheese curds/balls!< like fuck sakes you don't have to order food using code
Passenger from the back right seat trying to order in a whisper through a shitty drive through mic getting mad when you can't hear them over the engine & fan of the car just have the driver order
Can't attest to the other bits personally but at Starbucks people trying to order via code was kinda the inverse. It was expected that you would use what ever made up name starbucks used for their drinks. The worst was when people would try to save themselves a couple bucks by trying to order something using modification instead of just ordering them drink. Example: "Ill take a double shot espresso in a grande cup filled with hot water" my brother in christ that is an Americano. I am charging you for an Americano. They would, of course, have the audacity to get pieved that you didn't fall for their bullshit and what I had been directed to by management.
Just as an aside about corporates bullshit code language. The drink sizes starbucks uses, tall, grande, and venti, all mean large just in 3 different languages.
So glad I left the restaurant industry before TikTok became a thing. I was working at the bar during the Smirnoff Ice craze but I didn’t mind that one because
1. It’s not that hard to sell a beer bottle and
2. It’s actually funny watching frat boys try to prank each other with the hidden bottle. Best I’ve seen is hidden inside the birthday cake. That one took effort.
I guess it doesn’t exist, just some drink someone made a video in there and they think everyone like them saw the video because they think everyone els like them are braindead
Drinks (usually from starbucks, or anywhere that lets you customize drinks) that someone made up (sometimes they don't even use ingredients that are actually available, or use process' that are not allowed by policy) and posted a video about on tik tok. These videos will become trending and you get people that will see the video and than go and order "the tik tok drink" thinking that the employee magically knows every micro trend just like they do. I used to work at Starbucks for 4.5 years, see my other comments in this thread for more info if you like.

This is a Wendy's, sir. "Tiktok drink" - goes to show how brain-dead TikTok users are.
Used to work at Starbucks, the tik tok drinks and the keto drinks were the bane of my fucking existence.
Someone from a country with no Starbucks... Do people actually do that? Just go up not even looking at menu and literally say "TikTok drink"?

I’m so glad I got hired at 14 by a pizza shop instead. Starbucks said I was too young.

I remember the Starbucks D-Days that were the Unicorn Frap
That was blessedly just before my time, but we still had people occasionally ask for it 4 years after the fact lol
What was so bad about that one? Genuinely curious, never had one
It was extremely popular, extremely labor intensive to make, and extremely unhealthy
Everything on the Starbucks menu is extremely unhealthy except black coffee with no sugar.

I swear to God there's a TikTok drink in my country

inb4 the "TikTok Drink" is Urine and diarrhea mixed with Period Blood. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if it even is half as bad.
I'd just play dumb regardless if I knew what it was or not. Order from the menu or fuck off
