Ex-'Big Brother' Cast Member Worked at Starbucks for 10 Years, Hated it, is Now Getting Revenge with Her TikToks on How to Troll Them

Christine Kominek was a houseguest on Big Brother 16 back in 2014. After her bout as a reality TV persona, she worked here and there, but eventually ended up at Starbucks. At the coffee chain she was actually a favored employee, making her way up the ranks. However, her TikToks reveal all and expose how horrible Starbucks as a company actually was to her and all of their employees. 

“How to get your favorite drinks cheaper":

She wasn't quite the favorite houseguest during her bout on Big Brother—the “Big Brother Wiki” for the show describes her as someone who double crossed teammates multiple times and that the live studio audience even booed her when she was eventually “evicted.” However, it's not her reality TV show past that is currently getting Kominek attention, it's her viral videos taking down the power hungry company of Starbucks. 

She started a series last year on her TikTok that gave tips on how to get popular Starbuck drinks for a cheaper price. She says in the video that she's starting the video because she worked there for 10 years and absolutely “loathed” it. She's posted many videos that have since gone viral now that get her viewers cheaper menu items—Starbucks and people she calls “Starbuck Sirens" (which she defines as people obsessed with Starbucks on a cult-level) are not very happy.

She never got fired:

Many of her viewers think she got fired and is now salty, thus why she is posting the videos. But she explains that she was never fired, in fact she knew how to “play the game” and was pretty high up in the ranks. She still did not feel like she was being treated right, and when they offered a severance package during the initial height of the pandemic, she took it and ran.

Her videos not only give tips on how to troll the menu, but she also speaks out about their horrible treatment of employees—which, in response, get a lot of ex-Starbucks employees sharing their horror stories of working for the company. 

"They're doing extremely shady sh*t":

Forced to work in extreme weather conditions:

Recently, she has been encouraging everyone to boycott the company after they announced a raise in prices due to “inflation”—even though the CEO just got a millions of dollars raise.

She also has a lot going on in her life, according to her TikTok posts—recently being diagnosed with Wilson Disease, she recently started volunteering for Planned Parenthood as an escort, has been dealing with extremely difficult personal situations, and more. But she keeps most of her posts upbeat, even when she's going hard on bashing Starbucks.
