Seeking advice/Another rant (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Loose-Thoughts
I’ve posted on here before on how I transferred from a café to a drive-thru store and faced an issue where another partner spoke negatively about me behind my back and my SM backed me up. Well, here’s a fact, my SM hired me at the café and asked me to transfer with them to their new store because they appreciate my work ethic. This weekend the SM has been taking a very much needed break after working doubles nonstop to keep the store at bay. I swear, almost all of the partners I’ve worked with this weekend have been dicks to me. They’re so friendly and sweet to me when he’s there (ofc) and this weekend they’ve gotten mad with me for: only doing what I was assigned on the schedule to do, and what they asked me to do. Any time I assumed I could help them on bar and do cold bar so they could focus on hot they would give me so much shit for the back and forth between that and DTO and front, so I eventually only did what I was instructed to do.

- a partner made a dirty joke, another partner (a different one from my previous post) said I would rat the joke telling partner out.
- said partner that said I would rat the other partner out said I’m not doing her! team! any good stalling for good times while she was on bar and I was DTO
- this same partner told me while I did window and she did DTO that her job is to set the orders up for me and I needed to stop trying to do her job whenever I went around her while she placed an order so again, the times would go down
- etc. drama

I’m not sure how to approach this. Does any transferred or borrowed partner have experience with this type of situation? If so, how did you get through it? I know I just moved to this store a few weeks ago but I wish they’d be more accepting. I’ve worked long hours for them and even doubles multiples time, but I can’t shake the feeling that I should leave to a less passive-aggressive partnered store

Unfortunately people are toxic and immature; when one of my former partners transferred to the store (a while before I did) he was hired even though he was on the no rehire list because the SM knew him from his previous stint at the job. Everyone called him her pet and was awful to him, so you’re not alone. I would see how the next month goes and if there’s anyone you do click with
