Exhausted (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by baristaabitchh
I just needed to share how rough my day has been today. We get our Dallas order on Monday’s and this is the first order we’ve gotten in 2 weeks due to the weather. Well, we only got about 1/4th of our actual order and didn’t get anything we really needed. So, this week is going to be even worse with telling customers that we don’t have what they want. I’m also down two partners this morning and through peak which was just terrible. I always have this habit of picking up all the slack so I’m running around supporting bar, dto, and cs just to help out all my baristas that are here.

I’m so exhausted I can’t even think straight. I almost forgot to do my daily orders and I wasn’t even able to take a lunch.

Spring launch is tomorrow and we don’t have honey blend or blonde espresso. We also didn’t get any merch for it. I don’t even know what to do at this point except have a breakdown and sleep.

Thanks for coming to my little rant (:

LMAOOO girl are you at my store bc its the exact same! It takes sooo much more energy and patience to get through an order with all of this going on. I have not been this frustrated since I was a green bean.

I was sooo excited for the order today too and find out we got shit like oatmeal toppings but no refreshers...like cmon.

Like at this point just get a water and leave, let our stock get replenished.

You know how it's required to have hit water to wash your hands? Wouldn't it just be a SHAME if your hot water heater's pilot light went out and you had to shut down for a day and send your people home??

Hahahaha yesss. The funny thing is we finally got a new hot water heater because ours was broken and we had to reset the breakers every 30 minutes...it was fun.
