PLEASE make both of our lives easier and just wear a mask (self.starbucksbaristas)

In my county, everyone is required to wear a mask when you are in a public place. There are two giant signs outside of my store making it very clear that masks are required for entry. Despite this, there are so many customers who completely disregard the signs and come in without a mask. It’s honestly exhausting and frustrating being the “mask police” and constantly telling customers that masks are required. And it makes it worse when customers try to argue with me....it is literally the county law. If they still refuse to wear a mask, I say they can mobile order and I’ll meet them at the door w/ their drink, or they can go 1/2 a mile down the street to the drive through Starbucks and order there. Some lady was giving me a difficult time today about not wearing a mask and it almost brought me to tears. I feel like I’m at my breaking point. I’m living with an immunocompromised family member and have taken every precaution to not bring the virus home, my DM said I’m not qualified for a paid LOA, and I can’t afford to take an unpaid LOA. And now I’m putting myself at risk for infection by talking to those without masks in close proximity when I’m asking them to leave. I get that wearing a mask is uncomfortable, but it’s only for a few minutes while you wait for your drink. Thanks for reading my rant

I went out to get PPE, and stopped at a sbux on the way home to get my markout, ironically I completely forgot to put my mask on, felt terrible, but they had shields on the register so they were safe!

Oh good!! I totally understand when someone forgets their mask. It’s hard to get into the habit of putting it on all the time! Usually customers will quickly apologize and go run out to their car to grab it! It’s the ones that give me a difficult time about “impeding their freedom” that make it hard on us, but it’s literally our county law!!

It’s not much but I’ll keep you and your family in my thoughts! I’m sorry you’re having to deal with those customers. They’re definitely not fun and make our jobs that much harder. Stay strong and healthy ❤️
