Bar Anxiety? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by pastel_aesthetic2319
idk if it’s just my anxiety flaring up when i’m on bar or what, but today was a war zone. my shift had me double baring, and cold baring. which i shouldn’t complain toooo much, because it’s not as bad as it seems. BUT when i’m on there for a certain amount of time i get extremely anxious

honestly I think people underestimate how stressful being the only barista at a Tarbucks is!

I never knew how understaffed the tarbuck's was and so now knowing this from the Reddit and from being a barista, I don't go to tarbucks anymore just to give you guys a break.

Idk how new you are but it gets better with time. And I think for an anxious person, there are many people looking at you, plus you can feel them waiting. I absolutely get it. If you can zone them out, you’ll be fine.

Me too! I just remind myself that it's only coffee and I only have 2 hands and I'm doing my best. I repeat this over and over and over.......

remembering that you’re doing everything you can as quickly as you can and a simple “can somebody help out on my cold bar for a minute till i can get a little caught up?” goes a long way
