first of all, I’m not sure if every Starbucks has this position. I didn’t see one at any of the Starbucks I’ve been to lately, so it might be because I work at a location within a college campus. anyway, I despise this position.
because of Covid, my Starbucks moved our condiment bar perpendicular to the drink pick-up counter. at the condiment bar, there now stands a poor employee whose job is to stay in that spot, hand out drinks to customers, give condiments, and yell at customers for not maintaining social distancing from each other. that’s it. and you might think it’s nice because you get paid for essentially standing, but with the status of the world right now, we’re pretty slow for most of the day. so you stand there.....for hours......and occasionally yell at some customers.
I know it’s a privileged complaint and we’re just following the rules for safety and whatnot, but it makes the days so long. Just wanted to see if anyone shares my pain. I might start doing wall-sits during my shifts in this position to do something productive.
