Oh geez.
It’s Starbucks.
It’s Halloween.
It’s a Zombie Frappucino.
Get a grip.
Dear @Starbucks,
Just saw one of your employees with fake blood around her neck to promote the #ZombieFrappuccino.
Suicide isn’t funny.

And considering the number of people who will be in costume (some with blood) over this weekend into Tuesday celebrating All Hallow’s Eve, Jamie MIGHT want to just stay inside and avoid being triggered by the festivities. Better that than complaining to employers on Twitter because an employee is having a good time at work.
Probably because zombies bite people? Typically in the neck?

A line across the front of someone’s neck = suicide.

Actually, a line of blood across the neck could imply a death from behind like say from a slasher; Jamie might want to watch a few old horror movies.
Wait, strike that.
literally she makes minimum wage, give her a fucking break

Ummm yeah, that too.
Honestly I’m going to school for SFX Makeup and we’re taught that that is zombie makeup. If there was bruising I think that’d be different

We’re willing to bet the employee was going for the slasher or zombie victim look, doubtful she was trying to dress up like someone who had committed suicide.

Exactly. Playing on the emotions of Starbucks and painting people with mental illness as those who are unable to deal with everyday activities around Halloween is not a good look.
I struggle with depression and this wouldn’t be triggering to me. It just sounds like you’re reaching.

Maybe he’s looking for a free Latté?
