tbh if you’re gonna have that mentality, do it. my biggest pet peeve is working with someone who genuinely complains all day or is in a bad mood 24/7. if you hate the job, quit. it is not the same as working at mcdonald’s where you can have any attitude or do whatever you want with no repercussions.

that’s how i felt my first couple of weeks there. i say give yourself about 3 months to see how you feel first because this really is a learning process

Do it, it’s a bad job. People saying they learned to love it are the equivalent of when your nose gets desensitized to the monkey poop smell at the zoo.

There’s no shame in needing a pay check. If you need the money and have to endure one of these types of places, respect. But don’t let these corporate goons exploit you. Resist at every turn. Insist on your breaks and take the whole thing. Don’t stay a minute longer than you’re being paid to. Don’t show up a minute earlier. Do the bare minimum because they’re paying you less than the bare minimum. And actively work towards something better for yourself. Plenty of office jobs pay more for significantly less work and stress.

Also, never buy into this ‘partner’ ‘family’ propaganda. You are an expendable number to the corporation and none of those people will go to your funeral or visit you in the hospital. In fact, they will actively work against your best interests by pressuring you to work sick and denying you the benefits you’re entitled to. Protect yourself. And file incident reports for EVERYTHING that could even maybe become workman’s comp or a payout due to customer abuse/injury.

Take every single mark out even if you give it away. Become a pirate: take all you can and give nothing back.

I mean I’ll be honest this job ain’t easy compared to other fast food jobs. They have a lot of expectations for you to follow.

I honestly felt the same way when I first started working at sbux. I feel like couldn’t get everything right and I didn’t have the most welcoming team at first. Give it a few months and maybe you’ll like it. I ended up transferring stores and it made a big difference to my work environment. I’d say give it some to see if you really like the job or not.

I mean is it really that bad? Why did you join in the first place, give it time and people will talk to you more. What was the point of posting this and not explaining, what advice do you want?

what do you hate abt the job??

It’s because it’s your first week. Stay a bit longer and see if your attitude changes. You’re technically not even out of training.

Ppl in this section have Stockholm syndrome lmao. Only part of the job I like is making drinks, everything else can eat a dick. No, I will not do customer support. Stop telling me to read those laminated cards.

I just put in my 2 weeks. I’ve been here 8 months. I’ve lost respect for the company as a whole and hate showing up everyday. I’m ready to actually afford rent.

What a great time for this to happen to you then! Everywhere is hiring! Good luck out there!

It’s lousy in the beginning when you don’t know what to do and people don’t talk much to you but understand no one can talk much, we gotta be doing stuff constantly. Insist on a headset, it’ll help, I think we neglect to give newer partners headsets
