after a year of being in a pandemic i decided to find a job because i really needed the income and i ended up getting hired at a starbucks! it took a while for me to actually get started because of timing of the store so i didn’t start until april which was later than i had hoped.

the thing is i’m planning on moving to a new city (5 hours away) in august and i’m wondering if i should try to transfer or if it’s even possible! i honestly never imagined myself as a barista but i think i’m getting the hang of the job and i feel like i’d be a good partner if i could find a store with no drive thru. i don’t really want all this training to go to waste either, but is 4~ months too early to ask for a transfer? i feel bad about taking the job when i knew i wanted to move this year but i applied to a bunch of jobs and this was the only place who actually hired me 😭 so i didn’t want to lose the opportunity.

do any partners have advice or experience transferring soon after getting hired?! ive read a few posts but a lot were a few years old or seemed like transfers in the same district so i wanted to get advice about this specific situation!
