Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

Ah yes Mid Shift, time to work my favorite position (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by IHateThisDamnWebsite
Window, DTO, Ovens, customer support, and occasionally front. Did I mention that our card reader was down all day today meaning every time someone paid with a card I had to run to the front register? Or that we had four other people on the floor who didn’t really seem to want to do much of anything? No one did prep so my bar person had to make caramel drizzles in the middle of a rush, but thankfully my coworker took two hours to do two loads of dishes.

For the final hour of my shift I worked bar only to find out that no one was scheduled to replace me, meaning I had to stay longer as I ran around the store attempting to find someone to replace me on bar.

Great day today.

there was no one to replace you? 😬 how many people did you have

Five not including me, one girl on window and DTO, one training, the green bean being trained, our manager who literally walked out for some reason, and a girl sitting in the back on her 10 (she wasn’t due to replace me, I asked her).

okay so your manager should’ve taken over for you👍🏻 if she is the keyholder she shouldn’t be leaving the store.

i understand not wanting to leave them hanging, but if your shift is over and your manager hasn't put someone in your position that's their problem. i would have left
