I have a personal hate being told I'm too slow. Spent almost two years being told that exact same thing. Everytime I thought I was being fast, I got told the opposite. It's just going to get worse unless you get a change in leadership.

I literally just quit Starbucks for this. our window times were consistently 45 seconds at one of the busiest locations in Vegas and we were constantly yelled at to go faster and that we were all terrible. Our leads were not supportive AT ALL. and everyone talked shit on everyone else. Starbucks is a wildly toxic place to work. If you get into a good store then you're lucky.

something similar was happening to me and what helped me get through it was to detach myself from the job. I did what I had to do but once I clocked out Starbucks was no longer my problem. the worst part of the job is taking it home with you but once I learned that it was just a few hours of my day and left everything at the door when I clocked out, things started to get WAY better.

also we're still very much going through a pandemic and your leads should at least be more compassionate. I mean, I understand managers have numbers to meet and other things outside our pay grade but damn, at least a shift lead should understand.

hope things get better!

i feel the same way, i started working only around 2 months ago but i give it my all and despite all the effort i put in i’m always told that i’m not doing things fast or good enough, it’s really making me doubt myself tbh

I’m honestly close to just saying fuck it. People are gonna find something to bitch about no matter what I do, so why not give them something worth bitching about? Like we have a partner at my store that goes out of her way to find shit the other shift missed so she can complain about it. Why not give her something worth finding?
