will I lose my job? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by iliketheroast
I have been a barista since November 2019 and have never been trained for bar only here and there (I can make a killer latte tho) and now with the whole transfer thing my manager told me that if they were to transfer me, they would want a well rounded barista who can do everything because they don’t have time to train someone. I feel really discouraged and wish I was trained because I’m also unable to pick up shifts at other stores as well. I also ended my lease in preparation for the move now I think I’m looking at being out of work for a while. What should I do?

Thank you in advance guys 💚🤢

Ask your shifts for bar time when you go into a shift! Even if it’s just an hour, practice is helpful. If you work evenings that’s a really great time for people to learn bar.

I’m not trying to sound bitchy or anything, but how have you not been put on bar in over a year? Like I’m genuinely curious about your situation

Meh, I was barely a novice on bar seven months in.

Come to think of it, I never got thorough bar training. I just learned by doing the drinks when it was slow and eventually a trial by fire during early peak.

Over a year? That’s like 8 months

Yea It’s been so long. I just want to feel like I’m in a chemistry lab 😭

I wish I had a clear answer but I guess I just got the short end of the stick.. and what’s even weirder is that my partner who got hired the same day as me had the full bar training months ago....
