I’m an opening shift that just called out for my shift tomorrow (self.starbucksbaristas)

Went to the doctor and girl I am fucked up, this flu has destroyed my body. I tried to find coverage and no one could. My SM is on vacation so I just told my proxy that I can’t come in, and I have a doctors note.
I have come in sick almost everytime I’ve been sick, while working at Starbucks. But my body just can’t take it this time.
I feel so guilty. I just screwed over my team and the innocent proxy.
but god damn I need the sleep and to r e l a x.

Listen, take care of YOURSELF first. Don’t ever put the store in front of your own well-being. And if anyone makes you feel bad or guilty for that, they should be ashamed. You were born a human, not a shift. Relax, don’t stress, feel better

I get the guilt part. But you dont have to worry about anything if you have a doctor's note.

I get you. Opening is a tough gig. As an opener myself, we have to be on our A game at all times. However, if any of my partners are sick, I encourage them to call out and use sick hours if they want. You sound like you care very much about your team which is great! Feel better! :)

Don’t feel guilty, life happens, it’s not the end of the world

plus it’s not good for you to be handling food/drinks while that sick
