Recently, the “Please Please Please” singer was in London working at a Blank Street coffee shop while promoting one of her latest songs, “Espresso.” Blank Street and Carpenter took to Instagram to share the news of Carpenter sitting in a Blank Street while sipping on a drink. The post prompted many to accuse Carpenter of being another celebrity “cosplaying” as a member of the working class despite her large income. “As someone who has worked as a barista and cried all the cries and dealt with all the customers…” one quote tweet began.“This is funny as f*** and I love Sabrina Carpenter it’s a f***ing campaign get over yourselves half the people complaining about glamorizing these jobs get paid from twitter lmfao.” “How about we evaluate each situation individually? “Rich people pretending to be poor will always piss me off,” one person wrote on the platform at the time, while another user said: “I feel like this makes a mockery of working class jobs but okay…” “Maybe I’m just a hater but something about a rich person pretending to be a working class citizen just rubs me in the wrong way,” a third person wrote on X.
