Don’t feel bad about calling off sick when you actually sick! Technically you have multiple symptoms and would’ve failed the covid coach and been sent home anyway, you’re manager should be working with you to see if you should be isolating or not. As long as you call off properly (calling, not texting and giving plenty of notice) they can’t be mad at you for being sick. Bonus points if you can reach out to other partners to help get your shift covered, or at least ask your manager if they know anyone you could reach out to.

Get covid tested before you return to work if possible!

Hey I know how you feel:(( sometimes you really don't click with some people in some places. This happened at my old job (not Starbucks) and for a while I was really sad, definitely had some on shift cries and thought about quitting. But eventually I began making friends, people came to understand me more, and I became really happy there. It's not you. Sometimes it just takes time, and sometimes they aren't worth your time to begin with

I totally understand how leaving early and calling out sick while you’re a new kid on the block makes for a bad impression, and it can be difficult to feel comfortable there when you feel like others might be judging you. At any job, it’s good to know when coworkers are just being negative (spiteful, bitter, assuming the worst, etc.) and whether or not it matters enough to care. When you go back to work, you could try to show that you are eager to learn as much as you can and be as nice as you can to everyone. It’s important to ask for help when you’re not sure about something (what to do atm, how to do x), so try to ask someone near you for confirmation instead of guessing or assuming. This might be scary for new partners bc they don’t want to bother someone who looks busy, but it’s more frustrating to have to remake a drink bc it was rang up wrong than to answer a yes/no question. Besides that, if you stay on top of the ball with coming in and doing what they say you should be doing, keeping up a great attitude and sense of urgency, anyone who is reasonable should be able to get over the call-out sick situation and understand that you’re not familiar with everything yet (it takes about three months of working pretty consistently to feel comfortable imo). If not, then think about if you tried to talk to a manager about it, would they care enough to help, or are they perpetuating this behavior?
It may just be that some people can’t help themselves but stir up drama and negativity, but if it’s coming from the manager, then the DM may care to know (if they’re not already involved). If you feel like it takes you time to understand some things, it could be since there are a TON of things to remember in each of the different roles, and it can get overwhelming when it’s busy and you’re always learning as you go, so don’t stress it. Maybe you could keep a small notebook with you for random info to help you remember stuff, or maybe look thru the posts in this sub for help on certain procedures! Hope you’re feeling better; you got this 💚
