Fourth Frenzy! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by AnnaRenae
I just got off my shift today, the fourth of July, and I'm about to give up on humanity. We have been swamped all morning and short staffed since we had a lot of people request off. We also have our sister drive thru store under construction, so we have double our usual customers. Anyways, a guy ordered in drive thru, clearly frustrated about the wait. One minute later, he called cooperate from his car on his car's speakers to complain about the wait. We could hear it all through our headsets. It's a holiday, Dude! You're lucky we are even open. We are all having to work while you go celebrate the day off with your family and friends. Don't complain if we are slow today. It literally makes me livid!

Yeeeeaaahhh, we were short staffed today too— I just transferred to a high volume drive- thru store and apparently we “aren’t that busy” on Holidays. My ass. I worked solo drive- thru DTO/ Window/ doing my own warming and helping make drinks// the people in the drive thru were mostly understanding (we never exceeded 8 minutes/ wait), but the folks in the cafe (hoping to avoid the drive thru line? I guess?) were all very/ visibly impatient.

Ayii. What a stressful job this is.

Its was rough. I was busy af and had people AFTER I was closed wanting to pay for stuff. I literally almost lost my temper at some people that night.
