The other day I was, but today we were down two partners due to illness. It was hell and dt was busy the whole time. I was on bar and warming and trying to stock at the same time. It sucked, but I will happily do it again if it means sick workers stay home. Taking lots of vitamin c and hand washing.

I pounded two emergen-c’s in some orange juice, I know it won’t do much but here for it 😂

Pls just stay home, pay your bills late before getting sick, getting permanent lung damage, or even die. 🤟

Tarbucks is getting SLAMMED!! We aren't losing hours... but we aren't gaining any! My team is drowning! If people aren't at work, target is their next place to hang... it's like holidays without the staff 😭😭😭

Our mallbux has been getting absolutely killed all week! Between spring break, sxsw travellers, and so many people off work they allll just come flooding to the mall. Of course, we have regular staffing still so we've been running with barebones staff thru it all..

Damn lucky!!!! Our hours are getting cut 😩

I mean, I'm grateful to still have hours, but all these international tourists and people visiting from out of town for the festival (that got cancelled) are making me super anxious.

not at all, we’ve been absolutely slammed and it comes in waves. looks like a tornado came thru our bars because we barely have time to clean up and don’t have CS because of the time of day — our peak times are all sorts of fucked.

My store is in a mall which is where everyone seems to be heading. So many people are wearing facemasks but take them off the second they come in the store. There's tons of people coughing with open mouths and tons of people lately leaving dirty used napkins on tables.

I work at one of the busiest in my state. Next to a major university, business district, medical district, AND close to.the airport. 😣

It's still busy at my store. And it's been even tougher with call outs this week.
