Holy shit. You landed an actual good sm. Hold on to that

They do exist! Mine was one of them, stood up to transphobic customers and actually made me not afraid of authority (have big authority fear issues).

Friendly reminder from an sbux shift manager that your worth as a barista is not tied to your capability on bar.

This reminds me of my SM he was so nice when I first started and trained me himself. He is so nice to the whole crew 😭

I always get assigned on POS... later after a few months of being stuck at POS i spoke with my SSV and SM about bar time to get trained more... they told me we placed you on POS not bec your slow at bar but because you work great on POS... made me feel worthy... they did eventually give me more time on bar

Dude I wish people had faith in me like that. I had to go to my ASM and manager for more bar time and I’ve been at that store for a year and a half and at Starbucks for 5 1/2.

slipperydish 8 points 2y ago
That’s awesome!! We love to hear it. My SM would say that she wanted to give me more bar experience and just never did...it was very frustrating

Wow what a nice SM. Mine wouldn’t give two fucks either way lol

Right?
My SM was so abusive towards me (others too sometimes, but not anywhere near as bad as she'd give it to me, which was literally all day, every day) that I legitimately developed a chronic illness that I may possibly have to live with the rest of my life.
She tried so hard and put soo much damn effort into making sure I was miserable. It was her way of trying to push me out. And after almost an entire ass year, I finally couldn't take it any longer. 2 weeks ago she finally won. And for the sake of my own mental well being, I had to sacrifice the most money I've ever made (by well over 4 fucking dollars) and the best benefits I've ever had.
I really wish this company would take serious complaints made my it's employees, ya know... seriously... cause that woman should absolutely NOT be in a position of authority.
tl;dr **DON'T EVER TAKE EVEN JUST A SEMI-DECENT, FAIRLY OK, KINDA ALRIGHT SBUX MANAGER FOR GRANTED BECAUSE THE CHANCES OF HAVING ONE ANY BETTER THAN THAT ARE ASTRONOMICALLY FUCKING LOW** 😊

I’m crying for you my little green bean 🥺

You are so fortunate to have an SM like that. My first store I worked at the SM tried to schedule me during afternoons to work bar and the adternoon SSV said she wouldn't let me touch bar until I had been with with the company for a year. I ended up moving later in the year and didn't get to practice bar until I moved. That was 4 months after I was hired and I spent the entire time in window until I moved

Or Customer Support
BunnyKerfluffle 3 points 2y ago
Customer support is the gateway to learning a store and it's needs. Soak up that learning and keep growing!

Geeze and my SM chased me out of the store screaming at me calling me sick because I have a disability
Meduka__ 2 points 2y ago
A decent manager really does make or break any job. I quit my job at the hospital to come back to starbucks as my main job because of management
HippieinBlack 2 points 2y ago
Wow, your SM is so nice.
cringeqween13 [OP] 3 points 2y ago
She started at the store about 2 weeks before me and we're a busy store and understaffed most days but she's always ready to get on the floor and work with us.
HippieinBlack 3 points 2y ago
She sounds great! I love most of my shift managers but sometimes there’s just a lack of communication you know
