I actually don’t hate working like a lot of people but I do feel drained by negative coworkers (self.starbucksbaristas)

Does anyone else feel like this

100% i worked with a shift for 2 years who was (still is) insanely negative...to the point where anytime she was working everyone dreaded it, it literally would bring down the mood instantly. Once I promoted we had a shift meeting with her to address it and she just got defensive and refused to listen to how she was affecting the people around her :/ I quit in March to get away from the toxic environment but I definitely feel your pain

I have coworkers who get all agitated that I don’t know every single part of working at this job after only two months here. And like I know we’re busy. I DONT CONTROL ME BEING ON BAR 2!!

i have a shift who is a proud anti-vaxer and anti-masker, luckily our schedules don’t line up too much but whenever she is the shift that is all she talks about constantly while we’re slow. and it’s not like i can just walk away because she does it over the headset. my availability is about to change too so i’ll work with her twice a week, pray for my sanity and that i don’t get fired for going off on her if i can’t stand it anymore😩

1000 percent. I have co workers who passive aggressively write in the playbook, don’t ever close/prep correctly...the list goes on and on

Yeah, I really like working at my starbucks but coworkers are a bit dramatic about the silliest things. Worst part is they are both way older than me, yet act like teenagers. So basically things wouldn't get done because A was annoyed with B, and I am left with all the work.

Yeah, like i understand it. i hate the job with a passion. but i’m not going to be negative the whole day because that will just make things even worse??!? I try to get a long with every partner and joke around to pass the time.

I actively heard coworkers talking about stuff I was bad at while I was trying to ride out a panic attack in the back. They didn’t know I was in there. Shifts always gossip and talk poorly of everyone behind their backs and it’s mentally exhausting and makes me not want to come to work.
