I feel your issue.
After over 20 years at Starbucks with some mild issues of getting super overwhelmed at times. It's super hard.
I don't know how to help you, i just understand when someone gets super mad at you for not being able to answer 4 random questions while training, answering a phone and having a timer go off.
It's crazy to deal with so much, i'm sorry you're dealing with this. I understand it fully. Just thinking about it gets me that sick feeling.
I hope it works out.
Here is my current issue.:
A week ago I got a fake $100 from someone trying to scam me. I noticed it didn't have a plastic strip in it even though it was a 2003 bill so I tried to show the scammer it was fake - he called me a faggot. I'm wearing a pink tie and a pride pin. I then ripped the bill lengthwise to be like "there is NO plastic strip!" I handed it back to him telling him that he should go, and i heard him say 'faggot' again and something like 'get hit.' He then asked to talk to the manager, I was so mad that I lost my cool and pointed at him and said: "we'll call the police and when they come they'll see it's fake." He then stormed off claiming to go to the police to press charges. Then someone I worked with for over a couple years got SUPER mad at me for it.
To her I was just ripping up someone's money because I was being a dick. That I judged that person and she insists I didn't test the bill because I didn't use a pen. I didn't have to use the pen, it was clearly fake and didn't have a strip in it. She doesn't want to hear my side of the story, just telling me that I can't deal with people that way.
She's right. I can't deal with people that way. I can't tell people i'm going to call the cops. I can't rip up money.
I fear I'm going to get fired for this even though I have NO write ups on my record.
The whole time I'm like... hey, i'm suffering right now from A LOT of shit. I can't deal with everything like this and get called a faggot and not be expected to just be calm.
