I’m only honestly staying for the ASU benefits and the trans health coverage if it wasn’t for that I would have been out as well
hitellie 11 points 2y ago

How I feel after this shift right now. So many fucking assholes that no amount of amazing regulars can make up for.

I’m a 102 lol. 19+years. But I’m sure you’ve been through a lot
baybecmd [OP] 8 points 2y ago
it was all good until my new store manager came and basically ruined it for me I’m sure you’ve been through a lot too!!
Cuttis 2 points 2y ago
Sorry, I know that came across really rude. I understand how much of a difference an effective manager makes. It can really make or break your quality of life, especially if you’re a shift. Good luck and congrats for getting out
baybecmd [OP] 5 points 2y ago
no I didn’t think so!! Also yes most definitely I was a shift when she first came then I demoted and then quit but thank you!
Cuttis 6 points 2y ago
Of course! It’s a shame when we lose good partners for unnecessary reasons...
nobullshitplz 2 points 2y ago
You sound like you’re from my store lol. We were shut down in April for COVID and when we reopened, we had a brand new manager with us. Nobody likes that new manager because she forced most of the shifts to be demoted, barely scheduled anybody in our schedules despite the literal need for it, and overall refusal to help. Most people in my store have now transferred, just got approved to transfer, or plain quit. I was hired last year at Starbucks and transferred to this store in November. Most people at the store had been there for years, and I’ve suddenly become one of the most experienced people at the store because of this.

How do you cope?

Cuttis, share your secrets with us! You are close to lifetime benefits, right?
Cuttis 3 points 2y ago
I transferred to a cafe store close to my home after five years of DT (after a previous 6 years of high volume cafe stores) and stopped closing lmao. To quote Whodini: The freaks come out at night. I open my store five days a week but it allows me to be on a regular sleep schedule and deal mostly with people who know what they want and have someplace to be. It’s mostly regulars, so even with the bad ones at least you already know what their problem is (the devil you know). I’m also so technically proficient at my job after so many years that I can focus more on the people side of things and try to win over the tough ones. TBH I can’t remember when the lifetime thing kicks in lol. I hit 20 next year if I survive a winter of being mask police.

I think that's awesome. Congratulations! There is very little about Starbucks you don't know, I would imagine.
Cuttis 2 points 2y ago
And yet I still manage to learn something new everyday lol

I'm a 245, coming up on 3 years, it feels weird. I would leave as well if it wasn't for ASU, one more year 🙏🏼 Good luck in your next adventure!

Nice, congrats on the new job. I’m debating on putting my two weeks. Friday night and we have had 3 people since 4pm and we are so busy.
