it’s clear that we’re not closing and we’re not being prioritised not only as partners but also as individuals. my SM insists we won’t get sick if we wash our hands and don’t touch our face. we’re not permitted to use gloves at the drive thru even though I feel SO uncomfortable handling cash and card, but today when I wore a glove at DTO handling cash and card my coworkers made it clear that they thought it made things worse. partners in my store aren’t understanding the gravity of the situation, insisting we need to calm down and also that we are overreacting because “the flu kills more every year” (totally not true anymore but ok). I feel so defeated and I just want to quit without notice, this is f’d up. My state and county have both declared state of emergency and there’s no sign that our store (busiest in the district) is going to be slowing down at all. it’s sooooo fucked that Starbucks cares more about profit over people. I’m not shocked, but realising I really am just a disposable pawn to the company stings a little.
