i think maybe try to give it just the two more weeks to try and get the hang of a certain position like the lobby register, and you may become more comfortable. most baristas will tell you that it’s very hard in the beginning and won’t get the hang of it for a couple months. so i would say maybe try it out for a couple more weeks and if you really don’t like it then quit.

I had a breakdown after 3 weeks because they expected me to make drinks flawlessly after 4 shifts of working there and a gap of 10 days of not working after training while also in the midst of finals. FML. I’m gonna try and give it a few more weeks and study the drinks but yeah. I’m kinda on the same boat with you. I don’t want to give up now, because my dream is to open a cat cafe, but I have another job lined up for $13 an hour if i want it and it’s much less stressful.

Not worried about my resume! I have 2+ years of retail experience plus a plethora of other achievements to highlight, so thanks anyways.

Just be honest, turn in your two weeks, and tell your manager that the job just doesn’t suit you. I know you hate it, but giving two weeks notice is always the best choice and most responsible thing to do (unless you feel unsafe, of course).

You can also ask if it’s okay to get your remaining shifts covered. In my region, we slow down so much in the summer that baristas basically have to fight to get enough hours to keep them eligible for insurance, so there tends not to be any problem finding people to cover them. Some managers will help you out with this, some won’t, but it never hurts to ask if people want your shifts.

Don’t be a bitch and work Starbucks isn’t hard once you get it.
