Does this make me a bad employee? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Y0uConcernMe
So. I’m gonna complain in a confused and scared manner again. I just started at my new store and well, for some backstory...
I’ve been working at starbucks for half a year and just started at a new store because my old coworkers were insane and I needed to be closer to my new store. I’m chronically ill and working honestly is super bad for me but i need the money and what? Am I gonna avoid working my whole life? So basically i’m disabled, a HS student (junior year too ew), and working. I only work weekends and sometimes fridays already, am i terrible to request time off on the weekends sometimes? I feel so guilty asking for time off when i only work 2-3 shifts a week but? UGH life sucks sometimes ya know?
To make it worse this store does everything so differently so now it’s mentally and physically tiring, if they let me close my way i’d do it all so much quicker but instead i’m closing 15-45 minutes late WITH help and feeling super guilty for it. Tbh I could quit because I have another business on the side but??? It’s not nearly as stable as a “real” job like Starbucks

this is more a rant than a question but ugh. i really want to quit but i need the money. i’m so physically and mentally broken

Go with the side business. Pray that God will fill in for the gaps in pay & get you more business. You won't be sorry for taking a risk! SBUX will always be there & if you work in a city - there is always another store to work for.
