Fall girlies, this one’s for you — but baristas everywhere might not be thrilled. 😅

There’s a new viral trend where people are bringing carved-out mini pumpkins to Starbucks and asking baristas to fill them up with their drinks instead of a cup! 😆🎃💁‍♀️

The idea is that since Starbucks lets you bring your own mug… why not make it extra festive and use a pumpkin? 🍁☕ But depending on the store, results have been mixed.

👉 Some baristas are totally into it — even snapping pics for themselves! 📸
👉 Others? Not so much. They’ll hand over a regular cup and let you pour it in yourself for the photo-op. 💀

A few employees have also pointed out food safety concerns — so they’re not supposed to touch your pumpkin directly. (Fair enough. 😂)

And yes, it’s mostly for the aesthetic — no one’s saying the pumpkin makes your latte taste better. But hey, if you’re going for that perfect fall Instagram post? 🍂✨ Go ahead and ask nicely… just maybe not during the morning rush. 😉
