Understaffed play call (self.starbucksbaristas)

Because of COVID reasons it's just me and my manager on POS + bar all day for 8 hours. However pretty often during the day she'll have to go do sales or orders (like we're having issues with our milk), and this leaves me alone. Work wise this doesn't bother me, we're very slow rn and we're usually a high volume store. However, I can't use the bathroom for hours at a time without leaving the bar unattended or having to interrupt her, and because of this, I feel like I can't eat or drink on my shift at all (I do still get one 30 min break) and usually get home very dehydrated. It also messes with keeping POS and bar seperated which they'd like us to do for contamination reasons. Should I mention this, or just keep going, and it's just something I have to deal with.

It is literally impossible for you to be successfully accomplishing corporate guidelines for health and disease prevention.

Absolutely report that situation.

Definitely mention this to your manager. She needs to put another person on the schedule with you, at the minimum.

Your health is more important than any clown coming in to order. Stay hydrated.
