Came into work on my day off to an absolute sh*t show. (self.starbucksbaristas)

Last minute coverage, everyone in the world decided to mobile order to my small store. Sandwiches were not labeled or put in the warming fridge, so we had to search for them. The mobile handoff plane was a huge mess and people were getting restless.. this is why I hate covering for people...

Right????
My coworker asked me and I was like "if no one else can, I'm already working 3 extra shifts" and she was like "Thanks so much you're a lifesaver!!xx"
She probably didn't even ask anyone 🙄

I hate it when I'm already covering a shift and then someone's like,"but I asked the GM and she said you can pull an 8 hour shift instead of 5 and cover both" and then when I ask her to cover my one shift due to a doctor's appointment not because I'm drinking on a work night, she's like oh sorry can't do that

It's like, sure I CAN but I don't want to, so....

If you're not looking for the hours just say no, it isn't your problem and it shouldn't feel like it.

Update: my coworker texted me this morning "hey I was trying not to text you, but I'm here and really not feeling well. Any way you can come cover me??"
