Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

6 months in and I’m already having a mental breakdown (rant, I apologize) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Saintwalker21
I have been at Starbucks for 6 1/2 months and every single day I contemplate leaving and never coming back. My coworkers in my mid and night shifts are awesome, I love all of them to death. My morning shift and store manager....not so much. Our store manager is one of the morning shift leads and thus defends them with her life even when they do no prep and leave us immediately once they see more than one of us in the building. They just up and leave before we’ve even clocked in and leave us with half a sweet cream, no lemonades, and one whip cream. We talk to our store manager about it and she’ll say “oh no they must have done it, I asked them to” or “no I saw them make that, we made them half an hour before you got here” then WHY IN THE HELL IS THERE NONE NOW!?! And the customers are a mix of the nicest people on the planet and the Karen’s that try climbing over the counter when they don’t get their drink exactly how they want it. I want to die pretty much every day I’m here and I’m pretty sure I am somehow getting physically sick from drive through....but my manager forced me to come in when I was supposed to go to the doctor so I don’t even know that. My 10 is over....as is my rant. I hope we all can share in the suffering

Leaving Starbucks is one of the best feelings ever. Sometimes I think about going back... but then I remember all the absolute shit you go through. And my wife still works for the company and basically in a constant state of meltdown due to her job. The company has always expected a lot of partners, but it’s absolutely insane how they treat them now.

Honestly there were many times I felt like leaving the bucks behind. My partners at my store made all the difference. I did eventually leave last October to concentrate more on my main job but I was there for about 2 years. Your team really can make or break it

Dont worry your not alone 😩😩👋 I've had a crazy day to I to also work with toxic people who dont like me for no reason I mean literally I had a shift supervisor today get mad at me asking me do I like night shift or morning shift and I said it is what it is and he started talking and treating me in a condensing way like bro wtf did I do to get on your bad side I just dont like to be asked and cornered at work with personal questions thats all and it went on for 5 hours im never working morning shift again. 😩😩 morning people are a nightmare to work with especially with coworkers who only got 4 hours of sleep.

Oh my god! Why are morning people the most loved but also the most rude?

the partners are why i stay, im only about 3 months in and this has been the most difficult job ive had so far. the expectations, customers, and amount of tasks that need done is pretty crazy. dont sacrifice your well being for friends though, im sure they wouldn’t ask that of you or want you to push yourself so hard.
