Today I stayed home as I am very ill and quarantining after I worked with a partner who was displaying major symptoms of covid yet was not sent home lol

Sending you lots of positive energy! It's a crazy time and simply showing up is something to be proud of. I'm sure there's at least one customers whose day you made today <3 Some days are good, some days are bad but the bad wont last forever hang in there bud

today sucked. my shift was only 5.5 hours but it felt like 10 years. i’m pretty new so they’ve just now started putting me on bar more, and i don’t know how to NOT make messes. i keep spilling milk, splattering eggnog, knocking over toppings, etc. i did cafe/mobiles while another barista did the drive thru drinks on the machine next to me and i just couldn’t stop looking at how clean her station was compared to mine and it made me feel stupid. also, a lady asked me to put a new lid on her drink and then yelled at me because she “didn’t want my fingers touching it” ...how else do i put a lid on??? overall, not my best day. hoping for a better shift tomorrow.

Embrace the mess homie, I’m a messy barista. It is what it is

hey! everything comes with practice. the more you do it, the more you'll get it down! it's ok if it's not perfect, it's ok if it's messy--- for now just focus on not overwhelming yourself while still learning! i know it's easier to compare yourself to others but even those of us who look like they've got their stuff together started right where you are rn! i'm sorry that lady was rude, and it's hard not to dwell, but you've got this ♡

I've had days like that, too. They are the worst. But if your response to being un-okay is to make sure everyone else is okay, then they really are underappreciating you -- that's a positive, selfless response, an asset to have on any team. Thanks for doing what you do.

My store closed... the rona got us good. No block schedules made everyone exposed to the partner who was positive.

Well I cried for the first time during a shift this week (been w sbux about 4 months) so that was fun :)

my shift itself was great even though we’re we’re slammed and understaffed :(
i went on my lunch and got an upsetting phone call from my aunt and one of my coworkers noticed i was sad (bc we usually joke and make fun of each other and after my break i wasn’t really taking to anyone unless needed) and she as well as everyone else did little things to make me feel better<3

It has been a bad day for me,but I am off now so I am trying to just forget about it.I know its rough and you really are underappreciated,we all are.Most of us work so hard and we still get shit all over.Hang in there,better things will come at the end of this storm

Kinda boring, I was on warming which is nice because I don’t really have to interact with anyone and/or mess up as much lol. However we keep getting a lot of deliveries which may be because uber has a free delivery promo for the rest of the month which is so annoying

Today was my day off and yesterday my car broke down on the way to work so I got two days off in a row
