from May 5 through May 14.īut in the wake of Frappuccino Happy Hour, Starbucks didn’t see that the deal helped sales of other drinks in 2017. One Starbucks employee, for example, called the promo “ A Barista’s Worst Nightmare.” Still, during the promotion in 2017, Starbucks offered half priced fraps between 3:00 P.M.
