My job is ruining my mental health (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by owopup
I work in a starbucks in a grocery store, I've worked there for about 2-3 months now. I love Starbucks, but hate the grocery store. Everyone in my store seems to hate me and I have no idea why, not to mention that everyone there is kinda bitchy.I'm putting in my 2 weeks this weekend, and plan to apply to an actual starbucks (because I work for the store, now Starbucks). Everyday I go in my mental health keeps going down. I'm worried that other starbucks employees will also be bitchy, and be mean. Other people in a "real" starbucks, can you tell me if your coworkers are like this too? Thanks and sorry if I sounded bitchy

I feel this. I had to put in my 2 weeks at my tarbucks. I thankfully have 2 shifts left and I'm done. I'm sad because I feel like I would have been happy if I was hired at a corporate location.

The people that I've talked to, who have worked at both, have all said that they were happier at a corporate location. But I'm guessing it depends a lot on the management. I personally never felt like target gave a crap about the starbucks.

I felt like this my first 6 months, I felt everyone was very cliquey and considered quitting. My mom was the one that actually told me “let them, go in make your money and leave. You don’t need them to be your friends.”

Unfortunately people will be resentful bitches no matter where you go. I've been working at my current store in LA (my hometown) for two months but I transfered there from Sam Francisco, and I was met with people treating me like I didn't know what I was doing. It frustrated me but I put it aside, but I had to miss two days of work because I was sick with the flu/bronchitis and I even had a doctor's note. I was also told not to come into work on a seperate occasion because they were over staffed, so I didn't. I was running late after an earthquake here in LA and called and they understood, yet when I got there I was confronted by my manager, saying that several partners have said I am consistently late or calling out (like what?) and that there is text evidence of me trying to switch shifts with people and then not coming into work. People have been calling me lazy and a liar. Long rant but ig the point is mean people are everywhere, just try not to let it get to you.
