Switch to a corporate store. I know someone who did that and they felt so much better

I recently switched from being in a grocery store to corporate, and I feel that it was it worth it. The pay is lower (for me at least), but the store runs wayyyy smoother, feels more put together and I generally feel a lot better since switching. If you want to still be a barista but you’re struggling with the current environment, maybe consider switching?

Even if you quit I just want you to know that I'm fucking proud of you. I've been a manager in retail for 5 years and right now I have a lot going on in life so I wanted an easy stress free job. Even with my experience I was blown away buy how much shit we have to deal with. That being said I'm from a high volume dt store.

Still even if your time with this compamy is up just know that having all this on your resume is gonna help you for years to come. Like honestly market the fuck out of yourself. Take what you've picked up from there and use it as a foot in the door for your next step.

You have sales exp. You know all the food safety stuff. You give out task for employees and keep them on task. You keep customers happy and offer solutions to problems. You ensure new information is cascading downward with your staff. You oversee training and make new hires feel welcomed in the company. This is just a short overview of what you could take anywhere!

I really get that the stress sucks and again I'm damn proud of you doing this at your age. I'd have failed at 18. I'd have thrown a pissy fit and got mad or quit but you're better than that. Just know your worth. If you need anything else hit me up or pm me.

Wish you all the best op.

people are saying go to a corporate store, I would just find a new job altogether if you aren’t attached to starbucks. even better, find a local small business coffee shop and work for them!

Corporate store is the answer. I too worked a kiosk at first and it was an utter hell by comparison.

i work at a kiosk too, and i feel your pain. it makes me feel better knowing how cool my coworkers are, but if you’re unhappy i’d transfer to a corporate store.

Yeah I agree with everyone else. You may feel better in a corporate store. And if you don’t, maybe go part time and grab another part time job and see what happens

Corporate is no better. The only way to win here is to find a location that isnt full of entitled rich asshats who need the most perfect coffee drink at their disposal. I work at a location next to one of the biggest malls in America and we are fill of that kind of thing. I also just pumped out my resume and fine tuned my cover letter and am also on the bandwagon of getting the hell out of there. Good luck to you. Oh yeah and dont forget; dont let ANYONE break your mental state down like that. It really should not be worth that.

Dude honestly just be blessed that it’s not you who is acting so horrible, use that as a tool to show you how you shouldn’t act. You can’t help other people when they just want to have a shitty attitude. I swear people come into my store already in a bad mood and I used to let it affect me but now I don’t I truly wish them a good day because you never know what’s going on in their life yah know? I know it sucks but just think of it as a chance to be someone’s angel and make their day.

QUIT!!! I’m ready to quit and I’m a shift at a corporate store. Yeah that benefits are good but it’s still basically the same customers/bullshit you have to deal with

Yeah you might want to consider transferring stores. I had to transfer from a location I loved just because t was so far away. And yeah now dealing with your same situation

Hahaha I like how you complain about "rude customers" when you were just rude af to me in my post for no fucking reason. Please quit. Starbucks would be better off without you. You're obviously incapable of doing a simple job. Go cry about it some more.
