Your wrist starts to really hurt after barring for hours on end. I’d 10000% rather do dishes, and not with scalding water because I know how to work a faucet.

A lot of the time we’re placed on bar because we’re “good at it”, so rather than place someone new and us on a spot like window, where our “skills” are being unused, they’d rather just throw us in a position where we’d be doing well because no one else (apparently) can be placed there without getting overwhelmed/the store becoming a mess. That repetitive motion though, starts hurting my shoulders, my lower back, my feet, my wrists/arms.

this post is so genuinely puzzling lmao.....doing anything for 6-8 hours straight is exhausting and undesirable. bar can be particularly stressful because you’re kind of in the hot seat, especially during a rush. you just sound like someone who never gets to be on bar and you’re salty about it — talk to your supervisor! ask for bar time! or pull the stick out of your ass and let people rant lol

some baristas may want to but they aren’t fast or good enough for rushes so baristas like me are left there for hours, personally my shoulders start hurting. i’ve asked some shifts to move me but they say we don’t have the people to do that. maybe next time think before u post :o

Do nothing but bar for 3 months straight and you’ll see why people complain about being on bar lol

6-8 hours seems like a long time to be doing one thing. I can understand complaints from anyone having to do 1 task for 8 hours, whether that’s solo drive, washing dishes, CS, etc.

Tic toc has made bar a friggin’ foamy nightmare.

The shifts at my store are really good at making sure everyone is comfortable in their position. I love both drive and bar but somedays I'm just not feeling the socialness of drive and other days my brain is way too overwhelmed to bar.
