I remind myself why I like the job and think about how grateful I am for the benefits- great regulars, the accountability of having to be somewhere 5 days of the week, making myself lattes, surprising my friends and family with my coffee markouts each week, my coworkers, the fact that this job has helped me overcome social anxiety, free college (asu)

it can be stressful and draining at times but perspective can make a world of difference at least for me

I’ve only been here since February this year and I’m already ready to quit. Me and customer service are not a good fit. Can’t stand custies

I started in August 2020, so I’ve been here a while. When I first started I LOVED the job even though it was physically exhausting. These past couple of months have been taking a major toll on my mental health and it for sure has to do with the assholes that yell at us for stupid shit and crazy understaffing. Some days I just straight up want to walk out, but there’s days even if it’s busy I’ll talk to my coworkers and think, “I would miss this so much if I quit now” and that’s honestly the only thing keeping me here.

I do like my job, and I feel like I’ll be with Starbucks until I have to get a big-girl job to support myself when the time comes..because adulting is expensive and Starbucks doesn’t pay enough

not alone. i started in February and am now actually depressed. a job with the state has not materialized and i’m miserable. it’s difficult work for low pay. i am grateful for the opportunity but even the free coffee has lost its allure.

You are not alone. I heard there are at least 2 baristas near to quit in my son's store.
