SM plays favorites and doesn’t like me, I’m mentally exhausted after every shift. (self.starbucksbaristas)

I get reprimanded every time my store manager sees me not socializing with the customers on window, DESPITE THEM BEING ON THE PHONE or obviously not wanting to socialize after I try. I also get reprimanded for stuff that isn’t necessary my fault, like typing in orders on DTO the way the customers tells me and yet because she knows the customers typical order, they made the drink incorrectly. AND I GOT REPRIMANDED FOR IT? Yet these types of things seem to not happen as often to other newbies. I feel singled out and disliked by most of my coworkers and especially the SM. I’m very shy and not social because I have pretty bad social anxiety. I am nice and inviting when my coworkers talk to me, I’m just shy and I think that’s why they dislike me. Not to mention, I usually end up crying after each shift because I’m so sensitive and stressed out by the end of it.

I also received very little training. I did all the online modules, received one day of real bad training and after that they tossed me on DTO, window, front, and bar one time. I have a bad memory too and I think they get annoyed when I ask questions about recipes and such.

I want to quit very badly but I’m way too scared of having the “I’m quitting” conversation with my store manager. I’ve only been here a month as well. What should I do?

Do what you think is right for yourself. I’ve seen partners literally tell the manager “I quit” and didn’t show up for the rest of their shifts from then on. It is your call, you health and mental wellness you gotta keep track of. I would say if you have enough money to support yourself until you get a different job, do it immediately. If not, hold out until you have secured a new one.

Take care of yourself first.
