I’ve been with the bux since August, and so far I love it. One of the biggest downsides tho is being the fastest person on DT because I’m there a looooooot.

The only problem though, is I talk extremely fast and extremely quiet. Tricky duo, especially on the headset. It’s not a “I’m stressed and need a minute” thing, it’s something I’ve done my entire life. It’s just the way I talk and I cant change that no matter how hard I try.

That being said, “Hi (Welcome to/Thank you for choosing) Starbucks! What can we get started for you today?” turns into:

“Hi! Well-uhhhh Welcome to Starbuck, what can get for you?” in a super rushed, winded attempt at greeting customers that sounds like gibberish 😭 I feel dumb every time but I literally just cannot make myself speak slower.

I know I can’t be the only one who struggles with talking too fast unintentionally, and any tips that could help me out would be immensely appreciated!!!
