i couldn’t take it anymore, i’m officially a customer. that was the worst day of my entire life, our delivery never came, we ran out of milk and coffee. it was the busiest it’s EVER been, and only 3 of us on. i handed my two weeks in three days ago and i’ve been treated horribly since, i’m only 17 and i was sobbing on the floor making drinks, i kept being left by myself. we are a drive thru store also.
my coworker collapsed due to his diabetes in front of me (he’s okay) and i completely broke down, i can’t stop replaying in my head and i just said i’m really sorry i can’t do this, i’m going to break down properly. and my mum came and got me.
they have someone coming in so they aren’t completely abandoned and they are both supervisors, i just couldn’t take it anymore

I was a partner for 6 years up til 2019 when I got a new job. I lost that job as part of the 2020 layoffs a lot of people experienced. In late 2020 I had an offer to go back to Starbucks and there was just no way I was going to put myself through that. It was stressful before, and I’ve only heard horror stories since about how bad things are there now and how even worse customers have gotten. Take care of yourself and do what’s best for you

Same, partner for 3 years, quit in 2019, lost new job mid 2020 and had to go back to Starbucks because preggo and desperately need health insurance that isn’t marketplace. The one thing I have to say though, the maternity leave really helped. It doesn’t feel the same as when I first started though.

Yeah. I felt the company definitely started going way down hill after Howard left. Felt like he cared about hourly people to some extent. Kevin sucks.
