Not able to show for a shift I agreed to cover??? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by AmethystDeer
Hi guys. I got news today that my mom is in the hospital getting oxygen because she is high risk and got Coronavirus. I feel sick to my stomach, please please PLEASE be careful because the way she sounded over the phone, coughing this terrible cough, just yesterday was so awful I wouldn’t wish this on people I despise. My manager asked me to cover an opening shift for another partner at my store yesterday who is sick and I agreed, but I feel so unbelievably anxious I can hardly focus on anything. I’m really close to my mom and honestly, I’m scared I’m going to lose her. I don’t know if I should just go in and tell my shift or see if another partner can cover for me, I don’t want to disappoint anyone, and I know it’s annoying to say I can go in and then change my mind, but I don’t know what to do :(

Talk to your manager and see if someone can cover. It’s not a big deal. It’s an emergency.

I'm so sorry you are going through this. I am glad your shift/sm was able to understand & accommodate. This job should not be an additional worry for you during this time. I hope that you find comfort & that your mom finds health.
