Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

I work at a store in Hollywood and it’s always busy which I don’t mind since I get hella hours. But the thing is that my manager wants me to become a shift. I just want to know if it’s actually worth it. (self.starbucksbaristas)

Start observing your shift supervisors’ behavior in your store and assess the situation when let’s say someone calls out or it’s crazy busy or they’re handling difficult situations. I think that may or may not help you with that decision since you know the environment of your store.

I can’t speak for everyone, but personally I don’t think it’s worth it, UNLESS you’re considering moving up in the company. I demoted myself and prefer being a barista and only having to worry about myself vs. being a shift and having to worry about an entire store and staff. it’s a lot of work. It taught me a lot. But I wouldn’t be the first one to recommend it.

Fuck no it’s not worth it. You’ll do good a few times, but you’ll always be asked if you can do a little better. And the moment shit goes wrong on a shift, you better be ready to be interrogated or belittled until they feel like the moment is right.
