It was going to be my 2 years in March at a licensed Starbucks location. I got tired of a teenage barista stealing tips meant for the tip jar, the manager allowing it... I’m so happy I now don’t have to spend 8 hours a day picking up after and doing all the work for employees that just text on their phone while I take orders, make orders, refill sanitizer trays, brew hot coffee, brew hot water, scrub and clean sinks.. is it supposed to feel this bad though? For some reason I feel like I did something wrong because I didn’t have a “good reason” to quit. It’s exhausting to feel so bad mentally and emotionally from work, a job I used to love. Customers are one thing but being a barista trainer and trying to teach policies and get coworkers to follow policies and it not working despite being nice, being firm, reminding, it seemed like nothing you do works if no one cares. My last day I told a coworker that it doesn’t feel very professional or helpful for her to be on her phone when I’m swamped. She responded with “I’m sorry you feel that way” and said “I’ll be right back” then to leave the kiosk for 30 minutes to talk to the manager mean while I had a full line of customers in a kiosk by myself - with an order of 30 shots. I didn’t even get to take my break for that 8 hour shift. When my manager came back the only thing she said to me was “you can leave now”.
