i am so stressed for tomorrow lol, first day back since march and it’s my first time being able to work in the early mornings since my brother doesn’t have school. i’m happy to be going back but very stressed too.

I’m anxious too I go back day after tomorrow. Trying to just remember that I really like my job even tho it makes me so anxious too.

I went back monday. A lot has changed. There’s new procedures and ways stores are doing this to maximize safety. My store is drive thru only and let me tell you the shifts FLY by. Also tips are AMAZING right now. Wear your mask, tell your shift you don’t want to be window and just whip out those drinks! Good luck!

oh man what kind of stuff has changed? also are the masks reusable?

Hermione117 3 points 3y ago

My store has disposable cloth masks for us. you can bring your own though! all it has to be is a facial covering!

I was so bored I went back to work last week.

I'm the sort who loves the camaraderie of the battlefield, so I enjoyed it.

"Camraderie of the battlefield" is the perfect way to describe it!

Stay focused and always stay precautious, don’t sweat it too much and I promise you’ll do great. SSV here who would only want my fellows baristas returning with a positive attitude. We can do this. Keep your head up my fellow partner, you got this.

strike_First_tv 2 points 3y ago

Of course. The least I can do is help! Now get some great rest tonight and nights followed, remember to keep doing things that ground you in between all this craziness.

ellaaaaaaaaaaa 2 points 3y ago

thanks for that! my shift today went well and I felt a lot less stressed when I thought of what you said so thank you!! (:

I go back today and I'm anxious because I had only been there for 3 months before all of this, so I really feel like I've forgotten everything and I hadn't become super close to anyone yet either. I feel like I'm starting a brand new job, except for the added pressure of wearing a mask that makes me anxious and our store being completely split with who took the CAT pay and who didn't. I feel like there will be some separation between the two groups and I just don't want to be in that drama.
