More like getting out of happy hour because you made yourself unavailable on Thursday afternoons lol

AND WHAT A HAPPY 5 HOURS IT WAS TODAY

My shift ended at 2pm so I’m lucky but good luck to all the partners who are working

Getting out of working happy hour because you're block 1

How about getting out of happy hour because our store decided to close at 4pm because of coronavirus precautions and you basically get the day off because getting into work at 3:45 meant nothing so your boss let you go and now you can get the day off.

It was the happiest five incredibly-understaffed, overwhelming, painful hours of my measly existence 🤪

Our Uber tablet broke right during the thick of it, which was lots of fun

Telling customers that we don’t do happy hour since we are a licensed location but there is a real Starbucks down the street...

Me and my crew just crushed ours. Actually went smooth, everyone was nice, only a few snags with the POS honoring the bogo... I was ready for it being much worse. I am sure it was bad other locations. My area is doing so much better with new COVID cases now that it seems a lot of people left town for a vacation weekend.

At one point today between mobiles and customers I had 9 different cups on my cold bar. They were all different Frappuccino’s.

That was...fun.

Lucky you. It was not great

The only positive about block scheduling is my SM can’t schedule me for happy hours right now

I just took an edible and hoped for the best 🤷🏻‍♀️ I survived lol.

Got hired on as a shift right before Corona turned the world upside-down, so today was my first happy hour. One of my closers called out at 4 and one of my other two partners was on day 2 post-training. When I went in at 1, the entire place was a mess and not much daily maintenance or support had been done.

All that being said, my team honestly KILLED it. We had a short spurt of rain which helped keep traffic down a smidge, but I honestly feel like I put my partners where they’re strengths are and it led to a really efficient dynamic, and we were able to keep ourselves going in between waves of people so that the close after wasn’t even as bad as expected.

Idk, maybe I’m just tooting my own horn looking for validation, or maybe my perspective is skewed and it was actually a shitshow. 🤪

Your day of reckoning will come

My support called in today. One new person, one person who never closes or is there past noon, one of my regular closing partners, and me as shift. So we didn’t do anything but make drinks until 7... I envy you. Lol

me, a rehire, getting today off

Or when you work mornings and your off by 10:30 only to enjoy your afternoon thankful that you don’t have to work happy hour

Me omg!! I got off at 1:30😂

My second day was a happy hour lmao

Feeling bad cuz morning was a mess and praying things go better for the afternoon crew

i wasnt originally scheduled but was asked to come in the night before, which i accepted cause i need hours, but hooooo boy. at one point my body reached its limit, and i refused to break my back over near minimum wage, so i just stopped caring how long people were waiting. i have lost 15-20 pounds since starting this job in november.

in my nearly 4 years at bux I think I worked a total of 1 hr of frappy hr... back when it was a week or so long... by the 2nd year around I was an opener and was gone at latest right as it was starting lol...

WTH I was only on my second week as a green bean, and I was working the front on happy hour. I was dying...

We stayed busy well past happy hour ending..all the way to close! At 10! We went down to a 3 man exactly at 7 AND had a cleanplay! It was great.
