i’m so anxious (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by [deleted]
a store a couple blocks near mine has already had to close twice due to covid and it’s making my anxiety super bad since we’re going to be opening up for grab and go pretty soon and we’ll be having some tables and our washroom open to customers. we’ve been open for about 3 weeks now and i still refuse to take orders and then panic when i’m put on handout. i feel like starbucks is rushing into opening everything for money and that’s just not right

It’s not right, Fucking blows.
I hope your co workers aren’t ignorant about Covid and try and keep things clean

We had a partner who’s been working since February spill a frap and scoop it up and whip it luckily someone caught her

how do people think that’s okay? even before the pandemic that’s gross

Idk but you should see the shit people do at my store they’ll use the same paint scraper for the floors/drains and think it’s okay to use on the oven???!?! And I could keep going on all the shit I see. Like I don’t get it we all had to go to school, this is basic shit.
I don’t know how much longer I can keep this up... I’m about to just give up on the concept of having health care... it was cool tho

Can you guys ask your SM to lock one bathroom and put a sign for ‘employees only’? That way you guys get one and the customers get one so hopefully there are less risks?

a couple of us talked to her about it but she said it wasn’t her decision to make
dancing_durian 2 points 3y ago
It absolutely is! This pandemic grows inside me a deep hatred for SMs. They are supposed to be advocates for baristas but they just want to appease the higher ups. I get that everyone wants to keep their job but....the reason I thought of that was because once I called for biohazard cleanup in one of our bathrooms and the lady on the phone sais ‘is the other bathroom still open and operational? Yes? Ok, you need to stay open then!’ Well guess what? The rule of ‘just need one bathroom to stay open’ should go both ways!

my store is inside a mall so i don’t understand why our starbucks bathroom can’t just be for staff when the mall bathroom gets cleaned regularly because they have someone assigned to do it and plus we don’t have enough staff to clean the bathroom and cafe all the time

I’m so sorry. I just hear ‘mall’ and tears well up. Since I work at Starbucks, every time I walk by one in a mall somewhere, I pray for those partners 😅😭
