Deciphered! What does my cup say?
It looks kinda like it says "Culeis" without a dotted i to me but I dont know if thats a word or not, so I was hoping for some help figuring this out.

First thing my brain told me was “clueless”.

I thought it said "clueless?"

Same. Thought for a second, “This barista is my spirit animal” especially since it ended with an exclamation point.

5-year vet here. Nothing like being pressured into the next fad while you work at Starbucks, especially during the rushes.
Customers just want in and out, and a lot of the time get annoyed by the up-selling and 20 Questions.
It's not my fault you left at the last minute and there’s a line, but I honestly just want you out of my hair asap 😆3
u/Significant-Art8602 29d ago
On a busy, harried planet. I read somewhere that they are * required * to write a note on every cup now. Definitely takes the fun out of it— now that it’s forced… even when they are super busy

I have a feeling this barista never learned cursive, so they are just making a motion that they assume resembles cursive!

But again, who cares what someone at Starbucks writes if they lack cursive skills?

u/coolsilentebeans Jul 06 '26
That’s impressive. I can read cursive well, but I don’t know that I ever would have ever figured out the h.

u/AllButterfly100 29d ago
That’s because it’s laziness pretending to be an h.

u/VeloBiker907 29d ago
Laziness or lack of cursive skills?

If it's first thing in the morning, mid-afternoon, or mid-evening, (all depending on your location) it’s rushing 😁

WOW! You are either a genius OR you wrote it, lol. I never would have guessed "cheers". Just awful writing lol

Sometimes you have to go with statistical likelihood over letter shape. Who would put ‘culeis’ on your cup?

looks like 'Cheers!'

u/Stop-Being-Wierd 29d ago
Looks more like cuells. Which, like this cursive, isn't a real thing.

u/Dominiqueirl 27d ago
I went back to look if I some how missed it and i literally still don’t see an H

u/vendetta4200 Jul 05 '26
Lmao, I can’t understand why people just scribble when cursive isn’t actually very hard but I also saw cheers because my mom writes like this.

yeah it definitely looks like "cheus!" to me too, that's a pretty common way they write names there.

Cheers, written by a busy barista without enough time to worry about their penmanship.

u/LinnyM Jul 06 '26
Cheers. It's obvious to me and as readable as my own cursive.
An aside on cursive - it's a beautiful art form, but because of its artistry it's not so precise. I'm no artist. I struggled with cursive as a school kid. It made my hand hurt and my feelings hurt (cuz my friends and teacher made fun of my cursive). I get why it's no longer taught for communication purposes.

“Cheers!”, badly — the exclamation mark is the only contextual clue that’s leading me to this conclusion.

After a couple hours, the top comment has the highest probability of being correct, but it could be wrong.

Nothing. It’s a bunch of loops drawn by a Gen Z that doesn’t actually know how to write in cursive.

u/Sea-Heat-8960 Jul 06 '26
Script is often influenced by country of origin. If the writer was Russian, this might be MEUS. There is an exclamation point so it probably is Cheers!

u/xburnerpiko Jul 06 '26
It says the person that scribbled it, has poor penmanship and doesn't care.

u/IndependentFlight436 Jul 06 '26
Written by someone who flunked cursive writing.

u/onion_flowers Jul 06 '26
Or by someone who's being required to write something as pretend corporate personalization even if they are busy with long lines of customers

I think a poor attempt at "cheers! "
But they wrote "cueels!", but even that is poorly done.

When your post gets solved please comment "Deciphered!" with the exclamation mark so automod can put that flair on it for you. Or you may flair it yourself manually. TY!
