Jesus Christ don't do it. I promise there are other jobs out there.
Literally make it your job to find a good job! Starbucks culture is toxic and ugly.

Honestly? It depends where you are. Drive thru has been wild from open to close in my store but a friend on mine has a hand full of cars every hour.
If you go back to a crazy store it's staying crazy and getting worse. People who are slowly getting back to work still need their coffee, plus the people who are bored and cooped up all day equal a ridiculous line.
There are pros and cons. If youre used to a Café and drive store, its a bit easier to manage because youre only focusing on one end and its all hands on deck to grt drinks out on time. But, if one person complains or needs a remake or adds an order than EVERYTHING stops and is delayed. It's a give and take.
IMO the attitude of customers is getting worse which is far more stressful than the line itself. In the beginning peiple were cautious and sympathetic if maybe a bit unaware of the severity of it all. Now, everyone is so over it. They dont care. They dont want to be home and they will probably take it out on you.
A bunch of baristas are burnt out (myself included) and you can find a ton of vents on this sub that might help you make you decision.
That being said, as stressful as it may be, we are lucky to have a job and an income. It's though out here but not being able to pay your bills is tougher.
TD;LR: it's getting worse, hopefully not for long but it still beats not having an income imo
