Tip: Starbucks doesn’t care about your feelings or what happens to you. Do your job and go home, you’re an hourly worker don’t expect a lot! Bad days happen and by your posts I can see you like your job for the most part, it’ll be okay

I stopped doing the most and started doing the bare minimum because my coworkers started taking advantage of me. I realized it wasn't worth my extra stress on top of taking max classes ASU every semester only for them to not give a fuck.

Needless to say, life has gotten much better!

If nobody had been there to see you fall they wouldn’t have known how hurt you were. You didn’t exactly say it. I’m a little dense myself so I wouldn’t have known you were hurt likely unless you said so. Sometimes “fell” means slipped a little bit. Or a lot. It’s vague to some.

Just take a deep breath. Relax. Some days I feel tense with my SSV and partners. Some days I’m not though. It doesn’t sound like they’re going out of their way to be offensive or whatever. I don’t think they understand you were hurting especially after that last bit where he asked if you were okay. It just probably wasn’t obvious to them at first.

First, I hope you’re okay. I fell and hurt my foot pretty bad doing a trash run and had zero sympathy from my temp ASM at the time—your SM/SSV should have made sure you were okay!!

I used to be one of the partners that would take care of my partners before I took care of myself. It was ruining my mental and physical health but I dealt with it, because my coworkers were happy and that’s what mattered (at the time). After a particularly bad shift where I got stuck soloing bar for 8 hours with absolutely no support, on a holiday weekend Saturday, it broke me and I haven’t been that “hardworking” partner anymore. That was the first day I cried in front of my coworkers. I was sent right back to that fucking bar alone but with help for 15 minutes (like it made a difference...). I was super close to being promoted too lol. I’ve been doing the absolute bare minimum since. It makes me feel bad especially to see my coworkers struggle but at the end of the day I go home in a better mood. This company takes their best employees and drives them into the ground so fast, it’s sad

Edited to add: I wrote this comment and then looked at the rest of the comments...and they did NOT pass the vibe check. It doesn’t matter if it happens often or if OP is being “petty”. They fell because of boxes that should have never been left on the floor anyway because they’re, idk, a TRIPPING HAZARD??? Even after telling a coworker and a shift that they fell it was brushed off. Any decent human would have immediately made sure they were okay even if OP wasn’t seriously injured. Jesus, I thought as baristas most of y’all would be more compassionate but I guess not

I think other people here are being a little dismissive. I know for a fact at my store a SSV or the SM would have been a lot more concerned even if I just told them I slipped and fell. They would at least ask if I was ok.

I think you should definitely see if there is a time you can talk to your SM in private, and explain to him how it felt when the SSV responded to you in that way. If anything it puts that person on the managers radar so they can keep on eye on if this is a recurring problem and if they need to work on developing them with how they talk to partners.

It sounds like between you and the SM there was a misunderstanding, but the SSV outright dismissed you with a sarcastic remark which is really not ok.

The people in these comments are sooo insensitive omfg.... do Siren boots taste that good? 🤔 anyways, what happened to you was awful and you should’ve been treated with the respect you deserve. So what they didn’t see you fall, the point is that you FELL. It shouldn’t have happened in the first place especially when it could’ve been so easily avoided. And I’m sure you wouldn’t have minded if they had just moved the boxes the first time instead of being a jerk about it. The situation was handled very unprofessionally by your partners, and I’m sorry.

Did you fill out an incident report? Don't overlook this. You may not feel it today but you really could have hurt yourself.

As for the assholes you work with.. Give what you get. It's just not worth it. I have one shift who I will bust ass with because she has my back and I have hers, the rest of them can suck ass. I have had enough. We have been in the trenches together for a long time and we are both tenured partners (115 and 117) and we've never seen things as bad as they are now. This is company isn't even a shadow of what it used to be. Kevin Johnson is the worse thing that ever happened to this company. No idea what it's going to take to bring about real change.

Sorry, sucks they didn't pick up on the nuances and were just being silly, dismissive and insensitive. Falling over because of boxes someone laid down is no laughing matter and someone could get very seriously hurt in the future.

I know it’s not much but I’m sorry you got hurt, I’ve gotten hurt at work and supervisors just laugh it off or brush it off. I second what everyone else has already said but above all your mental health (and in this case physical health) is more important than being the “perfect” employee.💚

Not to be that person, but complain about back and ankle pain to make them feel bad

I'm so sorry this happened to you.

…but did you pick them up though?

Call it in, even if no one there backs you up, call that in you don’t even have to be at work to call it in, they will ask you why you waited and you tell them the truth.

Report it to HR

The absolute minimum is all you get from them, so it's all you've ever owed them.

Alternatively, there are plenty of places offering easier work for more money rn.

I mean, it’s not Starbucks’ fault that your SSV didn’t respond to your pain the way you wanted. It’s not the customers fault, it’s not your teams fault, so why are you going to do something that puts everyone at a disadvantage just because one person hurt your feelings?
