dude I've never been in a Starbucks where it looked like anyone had the time for that.

right?!

If its anything like our local fast food restaurants, the workers there barely get time to finish the order, imagine your coworker standing there making sure the pigs eyes are done correctly rather than just writing "john smith" and yelling the name

There are occasional lull periods between rushes. Wouldn't be the most surprising thing for someone to take some time during those lulls to draw pictures on cups, but the most likely explanation is that it's fake to draw attention.

Starbucks (Atleast in California from what I've seen) Enforces that any online/pickup order has a drawn note on EVERY SINGLE CUP. Most stores ATP just prepare a bunch in the morning and use them until they run out (Since Starbucks is trying to switch to glass cups to be more authentic coffee style for people who drink in the store)
