Does my store hate me? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by ReReKa89
I walk in only a few people say hi to me. I work at Panera before I work at Starbucks. My coworker talks about how Panera is a terrible job right after I clocked out yesterday. It made me feel uncomfortable. They make me do the grunt work. Every shift I mop. Dishes. Mats. Closing dishes. Bathroom or BOH moping and sweeping everything.I don’t learn to stock anything else besides strawberries or whip cream. No one has taught me how to build drinks.

They have already taught a younger girl who has gotten hired after me expresso dinks but have yet to teach me. Idk what to do anymore besides show up to work and work hard with my head down.

I would just ask a shift that you're comfortable with or ask your SM! People are dropping like flies with this company these days, they need to properly train partners who are willing/wanting to be trained. Good luck!

I would definitely say speak to a shift supervisor Or manager about wanting to learn bar and get bar time! I’m sorry you’re feeling uncomfortable and not well taught! I’m sure depending on the location they’re just really busy and letting people fall through the cracks which is unfortunate. With the tasks tbh, I feel like at least with my store even if it may feel like that’s the case, there’s just a lot of tasks and everyone is doing all those heavier harder tasks multiple times a day
