TLDR
- A barista at ZUS Coffee not only prepares drinks, but also helps customers write apology notes for their partners.
- The handwritten notes are attached to the drink packaging, drawing widespread attention on social media.
- Other F&B workers have also shared similar experiences, highlighting the support and creativity involved in their roles.
Job scopes are funny things, because somehow, they’re never just what’s written on paper. One minute you’re doing your actual job; the next, you’re doing things you never signed up for. For one ZUS barista, that includes helping customers apologise to their partners.
In a light-hearted post on Threads, a ZUS barista shared how her job scope involves not only making drinks for customers, but also helping them apologise to their partners through handwritten notes.

The barista later shared photos showing how she not only printed the note and pasted it onto the cup, but also personally wrote messages on the packaging.
“I’m sorry, my lady, for stressing you and scolding you. This won’t happen again. I always love you,” the note reads.
The barista clarified that she was in a rush and couldn’t fix the customer’s grammar in the note.
Other F&B workers jumped on the bandwagon
The post has since garnered attention from other social media users. While some praised the barista’s effort, especially for taking the time to handwrite the note despite being busy, others joked that ZUS Coffee should consider hiring poets to handle this ‘new job scope.’
“ZUS should hire poets or language graduates because you’ll be writing notes for customers soon.”
“I once asked the ZUS barista to write a happy birthday note for my husband, and they did it! ZUS staff are so supportive," said another user.

“Please write, ‘No matter what we argued about, you’re still my first intention. Love you no matter what happens.’”
One said, “Can you please write on a piece of paper or anywhere: ‘Warning: This Boost contains an apology inside. I love you.’”
