Am I too sensitive (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by bestowcurse
So there were two situations that made me go "hmm....my shift might hate me"

A) I had to leave for a couple of weeks due to a sudden and personal tragedy and when I came back, I passed by my store. When I said when I was coming back, her first response was "wait you're coming back?"

B) Without getting too personal, I was officially cut off from my family due to homophobia. And I was obviously distraught and I was talking about how I'm sorry for feeling off because of the tragedies that happened in the past couple of months. Her response was like "yeah but you expected that right?"

I can't tell if I'm just really sensitive, more so than usual due to what happened, or if this has been lowkey her showing that she doesn't like me. It's OK if she doesn't, I don't particularly like the fact that she let's other people go on their phones while she gets on my case to wipe down the counter and clean my area. I get it but I do wanna know if I'm over thinking it on my end too.

The first response could have been innocent, if you were suddenly gone for two weeks she might have thought you quit. I’ve had some partners I didn’t see for a few weeks and thought they quit, turns out they had just been scheduled closing shifts lol.
But that second situation is sus. “You expected that right?” Like ummmmmm???? Huh????? Pair that with the fact that she gets on you about things but not others, no, I don’t think you’re being too sensitive. That kind of behavior would totally give me pause.

Yeah I tried not to take either account as her being passive aggressive. Maybe just blunt, which is fair. I tend to have thick skin when it involves people I don't know but I know her so I'm a lot more worried that I'm just being sensitive.

Honestly, at this rate I might go to night shift to avoid talking to any of them much if at all.

Maybe she is just blunt…it could go either way. I’d be confused. Just keep being nice I guess? When I first started at my current store, one partner was always saying rude stuff and being sketch with me, I just kept being really nice and she eventually gave it up.
