Forever alone (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by BusyLeek2351
Every time I’m scheduled to come in and open since my first day, I’ve been opening on my own because someone calls out. It happened again today I was alone from 7-12 , missed my break and got “in trouble” for going over my break time. We’re understaffed, it’s now only 5 of us on staff and our manager is completely useless she just goes and sits in her car for honestly hours at a time, and when she is around everyone is miserable . Between that and the best I’m burned out and it’s only been a month. I absolutely hate it

Are you at a licensed location or corporate. If its a corporate, in my area you could get in extreme trouble for opening alone. Its a serious security risk for you and you have no witnesses otherwise.

Quit, it sounds harsh, but if they know you'll keep opening alone they will keep making you do it. I opened at my licensed location alone every day or every other day for months. The only thing that broke the trend was a global pandemic. If you can't actually quit, threaten to quit. I begged my manager with tears in my eyes (am a full grown adult man) before they started to fix the staffing.
