A Starbucks customer was unimpressed after a recent trip to the fast-food and drink chain.
In the 90s the gesture may have been considered romantic, but after a barista left a secret note on her coffee cup, one woman hit out at the move.

Sharing her story on TikTok, the shopper was less than impressed when she discovered a barista at Starbucks was flirting with her after he left a "smooth" message on her coffee cup without her noticing.
In a video, the woman showed off the cup, which had "secret message" written on it alongside an arrow that travelled all the way down to the bottom of the cup.
The Mirror reports that at the bottom, text was circled which would usually tell customers: "Careful, the beverage you're about to enjoy is extremely hot."
But instead, the Starbucks employee had crossed out several of the words so that the message read: "Careful, you're extremely hot."
The woman, who posts on TikTok under the username @chance_twins alongside her twin sister, was left red-faced by the encounter and indicated she wouldn't be going back to the coffee shop because she couldn't face seeing the barista again.
She captioned the video: "What just happened at Starbucks?
"Never going back there."
Commenters on the video were divided over the gesture, as while some thought it was "cute", others wondered how many other people the barista had written the same message to.
One person said: "That was smooth, not going to lie."
While another added: "It's cute, girls say guys never do anything. He just put his heart out to you."
But a third found the message suspicious, as they wrote: "I'm wondering how many other girls he did that to."
Starbucks has been contacted for comment.
