submitted by curlystar14
This is my 7th day working in a row, 2 more days until I get a day off. Super exhausted but I have bills I have to pay :( I wake up, go to work, do college classes right when I get home, then end up staying up all night because I have difficulty sleeping. I HATE IT HEREEE

Idk how long you have been working at Starbucks, but in the system where you can check your pay stubs ($1) you should check your most recent one and see if you have any vacation time available.

Unfortunately I haven't worked there long enough to get vacation time :((
sailorgrumpycat 4 points 1y ago
Sorry, ive done those long stretches, and they definitely start to suck.

How long do you have to work there to accrue vacation time?

Right…so you can switch stores at 6 months but can’t take a paid day off? Thanks, Starbucks

Hi, I'm not from the US. Isn't working more than 6 days in a row illegal over there?
curlystar14 [OP] 11 points 1y ago
I think that only applies to a few states. It also depends how many hours you work those days
hgfdv 5 points 1y ago
That's tough. I thought I had it rough at my store but I'm slowly realizing that many people in the US work in much poorer conditions.
Take care mate.
Take care mate.

I just quit, and it was the best thing I’ve ever done for my mental health and my happiness.

I never needed uppers and downers until I started at the bux. i quit a year after and wish it was sooner.

Oof sorry to hear that. I’m not in school currently and this job is stressful enough on it’s own :(
