So many people are quitting, but honestly good for you though. I’m happy you found a better job 😂
snowflakenecklace [OP] 62 points 2y ago
it’s what the company deserves!!! i started my new job a month ago (locally owned coffeeshop/ice cream parlor) and i love it so so much!!!
spiderhenchman 12 points 2y ago
Same!!! Today’s my last day, best of luck!
snowflakenecklace [OP] 6 points 2y ago
omg that’s awesome!!! good luck to you as well!!
CapableArtist123 11 points 2y ago
Ooh omg, I want to work at a Starbucks in the city near me without a drive thru 😩 since it will not be stressful
phillipniemann 23 points 2y ago
They are still stressful lmao
Elliotisnotokay 6 points 2y ago
Sometimes cafe stores can get more stressful bc they don't get enough labor to staff properly
hoewenn 3 points 2y ago
We have no drive thru. Still extremely stressful, I’d say the same amount with a drive thru cause now everyones walking in.
CapableArtist123 5 points 2y ago
Or I would like to work at an actually cafe
snowflakenecklace [OP] 21 points 2y ago
i worked at a cafe only actually and it was pretty rough!!! at this point if you find a good one i think a locally owned cafe is good to go!!

Is there a specific reason why? I'm always happy when people move on to better things but I was wondering if I was out of the loop on something
snowflakenecklace [OP] 19 points 2y ago
tired of feeling like a build-a-drink-workshop robot and being vastly underpaid for working my ass off day in and day out, all while being told i still need to do more to connect with customers (that don’t wanna talk to me in the first place.)
sapphic-slut 1 points 2y ago
Totally fair!!!
CapableArtist123 6 points 2y ago
Just better pay I believe for different jobs.

While you are now free you will wear the sirens brand on your soul forever. Congrats on getting out
snowflakenecklace [OP] 20 points 2y ago

My last shift was yesterday!! 🥳 Saying the words “Unfortunately, we’re out of that too” for the last time…even the air smells different today.
snowflakenecklace [OP] 7 points 2y ago
we were out of cold brew in addition to everything else and i definitely enjoyed that just a little…

sadilg 3 points 2y ago
320 here! Wishing you the best of luck! (dont go to a licensed store ever for a job) lol
Karenfromstarbies 2 points 2y ago
I’m a 320 and lowkey love my job. Just hate the management (they are only temporary) that makes it a living hell. I’ve worked at 2 other coffee shops and honestly love the structure of Starbucks baristas, trainers, and shifts. I guess I haven’t been with the company long enough to know how others truly felt because I always read comments/post about baristas hating their job at Starbucks. Btw don’t believe in the 3 months span of bar learning. I took me 2 weeks to learn bar and 3rd week hired, I was solo baring. This job is super easy. But really curious of how much y’all are getting paid? Can we even disclose that on Reddit??😂😂😂😂
kizzythaboss 1 points 2y ago
We lost 3 baristas in the span of 3 weeks. I'm thinking about moving on too, all my friends are gone...😞
snowflakenecklace [OP] 2 points 2y ago
yeah we’ve just lost a good chunk, another left with me, and i think we’re about to lose a bunch more.
Dazzling-Promotion66 -3 points 2y ago
Your number was just 281??
snowflakenecklace [OP] 6 points 2y ago
i’ve been with the company a long time.
(lmao i just forgot the dots that indicate more numbers… there’s 4 more after that)
nightkat89 5 points 2y ago
They’re just trying to shit take you for being a 281 because a lot of baristas think skill and numbers go hand in hand every single time,

Ignore them.
iStealSharpies 12 points 2y ago
Bruh I know a 139xxxx that is absolute garbage as a barista. Number age will never determine skill.
