Difficulty with a Shift (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Good-Criticism2400


First post here! Hi I’m a green bean who’s been working at Starbucks for a few months but came over from a grocery store Starbucks that I worked at for a few years. I really like the environment at my job and my coworkers are all so sweet and make me love coming to work. I have this one shift supervisor that’s very nice to me on the surface level but it’s been impossible to form any sort of rapport with them. For the past two months, I have tried my hardest to both be a really good barista and to try to form some sort of working relationship but nothing seems to take. At first I thought they just had trouble warming up to me since I was so new but I’ve seen even newer green beans have a great rapport with this shift. It’s just been very disheartening and made me feel very unwelcome. I know it’s not my shifts job to form a rapport with me, and they’ve done their job by supervising me in all the ways that I need, but it still doesn’t make me feel very good. Is there anything to be done, or fo I just need to suck it up and fo my job? 😂 (no wrong answers, I do have a tendency to put too much weight into things) Thanks!

It’s honestly probably nothing against you. Sometimes people just don’t have that bond and that’s okay. I’ve been at my store for a year and there’s a few shifts I just don’t have any kind of work relationship with. They’re super nice and are supportive, we just haven’t ‘clicked’. As long as they’re treating you well and giving you the support you need then I wouldn’t worry too much!

Thank you for your advice! I think I just got into my head because they seem to have that bond with everyone except for myself but at the end of the day maybe it’s just that the bond isn’t there
