@dolltin's video was a response to another barista's TikTok video in which she admitted serving rude customers a decaffeinated coffee when they would order caffeinated beverages. He says, "I worked at Starbucks for two years; I decaf-ed so many rude people. I would decaf people just if I felt like it."
@dolltin also said that he would serve decaffeinated drinks to customers who would pronounce "croissant" with a French accent. He explains, "If you are French, if you have a French accent... you come in and you order a croissant [with a French accent: "cwassant"], I'll give you one. I'm not gonna decaf you.

@dolltin has then followed the viral video explaining that he is a comedian. "So for anybody new here today, I do comedy. I make jokes. Not controversial jokes. So why is everybody mad about a joke about Starbucks?"
He adds, "TikTok removed my decaf video. I didn't remove it. TikTok did. And that's OK."
