stressed out new hire (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by sparrow326
so i had about 9 hours of training total (half of that time on mylearning, doing modules i haven't even finished yet.) before i was thrown on the floor. i'm trying to learn as i go but it's so hard. the past two days i've worked hours where it was only me and one other person on bar and i keep making so many mistakes. i'm feeling horrible about myself and like i'm just causing trouble. like it's not fair for bar to be stuck with only me when i'm this new. is this an unfair situation for both of us or should i be picking things up so much quicker? i don't even know.

1. did you get on floor training? if not, let a supervisor know that you need more training on the floor, esp on bar.
2. it's totally fine to ask questions. most supervisors understand ur new and want to help. so when in doubt ask questions.
3. it took me over six months to "pick up things". i really could not do SHIT. i wasn't trained properly, couldnt make drinks, and was slow everywhere. you just have to get used to it and that takes time. wait it out! i did, and it got so SO much better
good luck (: let me know if you need anything

It takes time to get comfortable with things! October will be a year since I started and just in the last few months did I start feeling super comfortable on bar. Some catch on faster, but I wasn't trained well (at a different store than my own) so I started at a disadvantage and it really took time for me. Don't stress it too much- you're new and not expected to know everything/do everything correctly.
