Hello ! So this is kinda (?) long.

I worked at Starbucks for 3+ years, and last year I decided I wanted to move up and become a shift. I graduated last May, so I thought perfect timing. I WORKED MY A** OFF AT THAT STORE for YEARS. And my manager told me he would promote me, but that we didn't need a shift at that time (January 2018). I was a barista trainer, won partner of the quarter several times, etc.

Skip to about August, after a summer of being jerked around about my promotion (all I needed was a simple no), I asked to be transferred. This was because a girl I worked with , who started 6 months prior, transferred to another store and got promoted 1 month in. (So I thought, it's never gonna happen here, I should try somewhere else. Also my manager hadn't promoted anyone in over a year or even hired any new baristas).

My manager told me he'd transfer me, but that same week wound up getting fired (he didn't do his job and lied in the books about something). So no manager, no word of transfer or promotion. We get a manager from a different store to come and oversee the store for a lil at the end of September. I ask him to transfer me. He asks why and I told him the situation about my promotion and why I want to leave because I'm unhappy here. He tells me "give me 2 weeks, if you arent promoted by the end of these 2 weeks, I will transfer you to wherever"

I wait until the end of October, we got a new manager and I figured maybe things would be different. Her first day there she asked if I had keys yet, so I assumed we're on track and things we're okay. Boy was I wrong. She told me in front of 2 other shifts my training would start November 12th. That day came and went, she didn't answer my call when I asked about the training. Nothing. She comes in the next day and after ignoring me for 4 hours comes up to me on time break and says "do you want to be a shift still" and at that moment I knew I was being lied to, just to be kept there. And I told her ,"yes, but I'd like to be transferred" and told her what the other manager said. She then told me 10 min later my DM wanted to speak to me.

Long story short, my DM says it was my fault and that I could have handled the situation better. Even though I'd been asking since August to be transferred. (Also, I had spoken to a manager back in August who was willing to take me and that's where my manager was going to send me originally (he knew he was gonna get fired and said he'd do it for me). And then I spoke to her again in October when I told the other manager I wanted to go there). My DM also told me the store I wanted to go to doesn't need partners. And instead said I'm going to send you to this store (which isn't the store I asked for and also was a punishment... There's a really long story to this as well)... So I quit, and it was right before Black Friday (I work in a mall).

Now, I want to reapply (I liked working at Starbucks, I quit bc I didn't like how I was treated at my store by 2 of my shifts, my DM, and new manager and they wouldn't transfer me). I was thinking about applying as shift or just as a barista again, but I'm afraid my manager (who's leaving in Feb) is gonna tell them I'm bad or whatever and also if I apply to shift, will my DM be at the interview.

TL;DR: I'm a great employee, but I'm afraid my experience with my old store is gonna prevent me from getting hired at a new store. Should I apply anyways? If I apply to become a shift, will my DM be at the interview. Should I put my old managers phone number on the application??
