Am I a horrible person (yes) (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by MochiMasu
I'm feeling awful about this, this job is plaguing me.
For refrence some information
I've been with Starbucks for +7 months
I work at a drive thru store that is flanked by a smoke shop, and a set of apartments ran by to be frank Pimps and Sex workers
To say we get the most unsavory costumers is an understatement of the year
Our store makes 63k a week
One of the busiest in the districts. I've been schelude for the next two weeks two be opening on Sunday and only have 4 people to 12:30, the majority of our money goes into the morning, the line is down the road building wrapped around the line.
I've been over it for along time, we had 13 people leave the past week. So we are understaffed to hell.
Honestly, I'm not well.
I can't eat, I can't stomach food or liquids, I've been throwing up stomach acid almost every day. I've lost over 15 pounds from this, this job is making me contemplate doing reckless things just to escape it.
(Ideas such as wrecking my car into a ditch) I don't want to die or commit or anything like that, I'd just like to escape from this job.
Another section of information this is A PART TIME JOB, I in no way need this job and did it to keep me busy over the summer as a full time student.
I live with my dad, he says I'm not the same anymore and he's very worried. Which is surprising considering my dad is a military man and thanks most emotions are ridiculous.
My gut tells me to leave, this job. I had my two weeks in but I don't think I can sacrifice anymore of me or I'll be dead. I'm exhausted, I'm crying while writing this, I'm shaking and I feel like and awful person. I got along with everybody and I hate disappointing people, but I can't run a store that is falling in on itself. I spoke to my manager multiple times for less hours and she refused , her and upper management don't care about us, they just want to see the store open. I'm tired of chasing the homeless doing drugs or jerking it off in the lobby, I'm tired of the nasty Karen's, I'm tired of the shortages, I'm tired of living this life.

You’re not a horrible person, remember that 💖 if you’re two weeks are in, and you honestly feel like you don’t need this job as a reference. Don’t complete your two weeks. Tell them it’s effective immediately for you’re own mental health. It’s your life and you’re allowed to live it however you please, and staying somewhere that is sucking the life out of you shouldn’t be something you allow! It sounds like you work at a very stressful location and withering away is not worth it. Like you said, they don’t care about you they can replace you. Take care of yourself, love.

Hey, stop.
Nobody is a terrible person for wanting to leave their overworked and underpaid job. You’re not disappointing anyone, they probably want to leave too and would if they could or a better job presented itself. Managers see hundreds of people come and go. The manager refusing to help you out is disappointing you not the other way around.
From the bottom of my heart, just leave. Call them and tell them you won’t be able to fulfill the last two weeks. You’re gonna feel a hell of a lot better. You’re working for a multi billion dollar company, not some small business. They’re good without you and they’re much better with someone built for dealing with the bullshit is serves. There’s a job for everyone, this isn’t one for you anymore. That’s cool!
Enjoy whatever job comes into your life next. I bet you it’ll be less stress

I was in a similar situation in a previous job, 100% you should quit. It was such a huge relieve to leave that toxic workplace that was stressing me out to such a degree. I could finally eat meals again without stress puking. Just let your boss know that for medical reasons you can’t fulfill the remainder of your time scheduled. Best wishes in your new adventure

Don't feel bad, management is not giving you any regard, why should you give them any? Just leave, it's not worth the extra 2 weeks I promise
