Not a lot of competitive fast food pays well compared to Starbucks at least in my state. Only two competitors will pay well (In N Out and Chick Fil A) but Starbucks still out pays. Leaving due to coworkers leaving isn’t ideally good imo as it doesn’t suit you in adapting well as you look for fun. Like is your store becoming toxic? Hell I have had 3 competitor coffee chain message me with job offered but they want to pay me less than Starbucks. I told them give me $x more than what I’m making here and you got yourself a deal.

Since you already have barista experience, probably a barista job at Whole Foods. I think the starting hourly pay is $15. But I don’t have experience there, I’d probably look into benefits and such.
