This isn't so much a single bad coworker deal, but I accept nearly every extra shift I can get; me saying no is a rarity. I've said yes everything, be it someone going home for a migraine to someone planning to drink wanting the next day off.

I needed to get a shift taken/traded for some important appointments; the kind of thing I couldn't put off for the 3 week approval. Posted in the group chat.

Crickets.

Always projecting their bad mood on the rest of the team and being rude to the green beans.

Any shift who cares about DTO times

Hahahahaha if only I could say the numerous things on here but it would immediately give my store away and I’d be fired so goddamn fast

Shifts who are scheduled to be baristas and not doing anything or not doing it correct!!!!

when anyone tells me to focus on connections. no. if they happen naturally that's fine but i will never "focus" on them.

People who take the job too seriously. Like we make crap pay. I don’t understand going above and beyond…especially when they don’t even want to move up.

Just having no idea how to do anything at all and wandering away from window to pull food from my fridge while I’m on warming. She’s had multiple complaints so idk if she’ll be there much longer

Partners who complain about closing but have no sense of urgency and are the reason you have to stay late.

Brownnosing with the SM so they get consistent work shifts with open availability.

Playing “know it all” when being with the company for a month

Not cleaning up after themselves even after being reminded several times

vaped in the back room, burped over the headset, farted NEXT to me, been an awful bar during peak. just being annoying in general

When I was still new, it was maybe my 3rd or 4th shift on my own, I was making a caramel ribbon crunch creme for myself before my 30 (the shift allows us to make our own drinks) and a barista trainer was like “who is that for?” and I said, “me, i’m going on my 30” and she looked at me, snatched the cup out of my hand AS IM PUTTING CARAMEL DRIZZLE AROUND THE CUP, and said “you can’t make your own drinks. my trainee will make it”

I rolled my eyes and didn’t fight it, so I got my stuff and waited for my drink. Alas, the barista trainer didn’t explain that my frappe was a CREME frappe (i don’t like coffee, don’t ask) and i looked at her, threw it in the trash, and left the store to grab lunch.

Not gonna talk about current ones BUT, we had a barista that used to sneeze while on the till serving customers and would wipe their snot on their sleeve in front of the customers. Same barista would never pass the cups on the bar but was demanding we go and get them from the till. The occasional tapping of the cup on the counter would occur if we hadn't noticed there was an order. Also, they would go through the mark outs before close and take home boxes of muffins at the end of their shift. Any and every shift. There's more but it would take me all day!

Umm become trainer and then shit on every trainee that walks through the door and then said trainee has to get re-trained by a barista and then when that trainer gets promoted to shift, they start acting like their word is God

Honestly, when other baristas get in my way while I’m trying to do bar or warming during peak. I know that they just want to make sure everything is stocked and counted, but I need those fridges closed so I can do my job!!

Coworker this afternoon got winked at in the drive through by a partner from another store.

I hope he had something in his eye.

I've refused service to people who sexually harass partners, but never almost had to do it to a fellow partner.
