I’m Done (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by RedeL77
I can’t work for Starbucks anymore. There are 5 of us. Two call out everyday or don’t even show up, the other two are in school and can only work like 3 4-hour shifts per week. This leaves me to do all the work and I am running the whole thing by myself. I’m supposed to be part time, but I’m doing stuff that a manager should be doing. I’ve complained to my boss, but nothing changes. The customers are the rudest group I’ve ever encountered (they’re different than customers from other places I’ve worked), and I feel like I’m expected to carry everyone else’s weight. I get in trouble when I have to close the shop because no one else can work and I have to leave for my classes and exams but when my coworkers closes the shop and leaves just because she feels tired, nothing is said. We never get the items we order, so we always run out of supplies. I work 40+ hours a week and have classes. I feel as though I have sunk into a pit of depression. I need help. This job has caused me so much pain, and I have no idea why I haven’t left sooner. This has been the worst year of work experience in my life.

Do what is best for your mental health. You need to put you first when it comes to a job especially Starbucks. They will take and take and TAKE. If they suffer well then they suffer since they are obviously blind to what they’re doing to there employees

Quit! It’s not worth the pay. You will damage your mental and physical health this way.

Get the hell outta there!!! That is not healthy, we are not meant to be worked or treated like that at all. We are human fucking beings! Not machines! I left my store after a month because this same shit was happening. I was working 60+ hr weeks and I had just damn started! Not worth it! Took a job at a locally owned business with slightly less pay and less hours and am so so so much happier.
