I have been a barista for 8 weeks now and I’m ready to quit. My location is extremely busy and we serve 80 customers every half hour. Customers are extremely aggressive. I get bossed around like a maid, thrown stuff at me, called names for not knowing secret menu stuff. Multiple times I’ve just cried. The worst part is management.

My supervisor hates me because I’m “laid back” according to him and he dropped a spoon on the ground and he started screaming so I was like “oh are you ok?” And he goes “YOU DONT CARE THAT I DROPPED A SPOON DO YOU????” And then I was like “no! Of course I do! I hear you scream so I wanted to know if you were ok” and he goes “of course I am” then he tells my manager that he dropped a spoon and I didn’t react therefore I don’t care about my job.

Then my manager was having a bad day and threatens to fire me and called me a waste of money because of this spoon incident. Then the next day he comes up to me and says “Sorry I said all those things, sometimes I get stressed and I take it out on whoever is near me. It was you so I decided to say whatever came to my mind hahah” And apparently he apologized because someone witnessed him doing this (cause he did it in front of everyone) and threatened to call HR.

Everyone else at my work is extremely dramatic and there’s so much drama and arguments. Some girl is being accused of insulting a customer when she didn’t even do that. She was just crying in the back.

Then like customers will order egg bites and they don’t get it til half an hour later cause no one ever watches the oven so I was like “oh would you like some help?” And then my supervisor grabbed me and shoved me over to the bar and was like “No. you’re staying here.”


So yeah I’m quitting :)
