Second Grade Teacher's TikTok About Working Nights As A Starbucks Barista Sparks Debate

Being a teacher comes with endless rewards.

It does not, however, come with a particularly high salary.


Jenna Hall, a second grade teacher at Renaissance Academy in Lehi, Utah works part time as a barista at Starbucks to make ends meet.

Hall recently posted a video to her TikTok page, where she goes by the handle @miss_hall_, documenting what her shifts at Starbucks are typically like.

The under-one-minute video has received over 207 thousand views and resulted in a passionate debate in the comment section.

Working at Starbucks definitely has its perks #teacher #secondgrade #teachersoftiktok #teacherlife #coffee #starbucks

The video captured Hall, at an increased speed, doing everything from taking orders to making drinks, to doing dishes and mopping up the floors.

Hall expressed the best thing about working at Starbucks was the free food, as she captured herself happily eating a bagel.

In one of the more poignant moments of the video, Hall could be seen rounding up all the money in the tip jar.

Though Hall said she never quite knows how much she'll take home in tips at the end of each shift.

"No, I don't know how much money we got in tips."
"That's divided amongst everyone based off of how many hours you work."

Hall ended the video by sharing what she felt was the biggest perk of working at Starbucks, which was bringing home all unsold food at the end of her shift.

She revealed in the overlay her students also reap the benefits of her second job.

"I save the cake pops to use as class rewards."

For her part, Hall didn't appear to show any shame or resentment at having to work a second job.

She even declared in the video's caption:

"Working at Starbucks definitely has its perks".

Many viewers, however, were horrified at the idea teachers have to work a second job.

There were also a number of fellow teachers who revealed they also had to work a second job, and others who said they ended up seeking another profession due to the low wages.

A recent study by the National Education Association showed roughly 20 percent of school teachers in America work a second job and that second job makes up about nine percent of their overall income.

The same study showed teachers are about three times more likely than other members of the US workforce to have a second job.

Fox News Host Jessica Tarlov Slams Jesse Watters For Hypocrisy About Deadly Texas Floods

Speaking on Fox News' The Five, Jessica Tarlov called out her co-host Jesse Watters for not holding President Donald Trump accountable for the ongoing deadly floods in Texas as he did former President Joe Biden during Hurricane Helene last year.

Among the victims were 27 campers and counselors from Camp Mystic, a Christian summer camp along the banks of the Guadalupe River. Officials warn that the death toll is likely to rise as search and rescue efforts continue amid widespread devastation.

Tearful Alex Jones Says He's Gonna 'Throw Up' After Pam Bondi Now Claims There's No 'Epstein List'

InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was openly tearful after Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed that the so-called Epstein files—documents related to the late financier, pedophile, and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein rumored to contain the names of Epstein's most high-profile enablers—do not exist.

The claim that Epstein had no list of clients to whom underage girls were trafficked marks a public reversal of a theory previously amplified by the Trump administration. Earlier this year, Bondi had suggested in a Fox News interview that such a document existed and was “sitting on my desk” awaiting release.
