I am dreading today.. (grande maybe venti rant) (self.starbucksbaristas)

I’ve had a really rough day yesterday at work, my manager talked to me how I am not making customer connections and had my back turned to them, as well as I’m going very slow in DT. I understand he has to let me know and he was being very polite about it, but it still hurts. I felt as if my hard work isn’t being validated because even though I’m not the best I do try very hard, and he always catches me at my worst moments, I always try my best with customer connections and greeting everyone especially my regulars, I ask people how their day is and apologize for inconveniences, but he never sees that, he only sees when I have nothing to do and just waiting for drinks to hand out. But I do understand I need to speed things up and make better customer connections, while following the under 45 second rule. I’m still a month into the job, but I can’t keep using the “new card” because he is hiring more people and specifically told me that. To top it off, my mind was all over the place and I forgot to clock out. Great. I don’t know what to do now :/

DTR is the pits when car after car is waiting 2 to 4 minutes at window, long after you cashed them out and the delay is not on you. I have stopped even saying what beverage or food item I’m waiting on. My partners are doing their best. At that point I think it should be solo DTO/DTR if we’re going to be that slow. The whole point of a planted DTR is to cash out/hand out fast. Connections are good, everyone is happy. As nice and funny as I am, no one wants to spend 5 minutes schmoozing at the window, after too much time passes customers become unconnectable

You can play the "new card" for SIX MOTHERFUCKING MONTHS your SM needs to shut up

I barely have time to connect because I am often dt-row, meaning both dtr and dto for those who didn't know, and our scores suffer for it and we often hear about it. But really I can't connect if I'm taking orders between payment and handing out orders, right? 🤷

Thanks for the kind words! I’m trying my best! I just hope my manager saw that
