Before I start I’d just like to say - yes I know there are people at the bux for the health care and schooling(which btw is great in my opinion). But I just wanna say, for others out there - there’s so much better out there. I’ve done multiple retail jobs/food industry jobs/hard labor/warehouse jobs. I started at Starbucks earlier this year in February and catered to the stores needs in every which way possible until about a couple weeks ago. Because I quit, no two weeks no nothing. At least I thought it wasn’t deserved. I worked every single weekend for 8 months when there was people who had availabilities where they couldn’t work weekends for no reason. After the 8 months I put my availability in to where I could work 6 days a week and Sunday off so I could watch football and do homework. It was denied w/ my manager saying ‘I need you to work weekends you gotta give me something’ I literally replied ‘yea the other 6 days of the week. I do work another job as well where I was willing to come in after doing 8-4 and close at the bux. Denied, whatever I needed other days off for school. But really why do I gotta be there Sundays? Hire people, that’s your job. Oh you need me there specifically? Well ima need more money then, I didn’t say that tho. Few days later and I’m POS/running food over to drive thru. No one in line so I’m talking to the ovens guy. SM goes real loudly ‘________ I know I pay you a lot of money but you can’t stand there and talk, you gotta restock lids or something’. I laughed in her face. That was the last day I worked at that store. I sent the GM a very long message not throwing anyone under the bus and telling them all this pretty much (I also am if not the best one of the best workers in that store). The GM said ‘oh did you know you get an annual raise in January’ in which I replied ‘yea I don’t need .50 cents, gonna need a whole lot more than that’. She said she couldn’t make that happen so I told her it to not expect me at the store anymore. The SM had the audacity to offer .75 cents. I said if $13 wasn’t on the table then there’s nothing to talk about.Fast forward a few days and one of the baristas I worked with got me in to target for $15 an hour working the Starbucks doing the same shit. 50% increase. Don’t take shit you don’t have to. KNOW when you’re being treated unfairly. DON’T let any loser make you think that workplace is the center of the universe JUST because it is for their sorry ass. There is better out there, doesn’t have to be target. I literally told the GM after everything that I’ve take way less shit for way more money. And if you feel you take too much shit then there’s a chance your SM is ass.

TLDR - Worked my ass off at Starbucks while others stood in the corner with their finger up their bum. While making the same $. Asked for a raise didn’t get it. Got a job at target doing the same shit for $5 more an hour.
