definitely not an unpopular opinion on this sub! every day is a never ending nightmare working for the siren <3

This is a very popular opinion. I have never felt like crying looking at a paycheck until the one I got today was only $30 more than my rent. I work full time near 40 hours every week not to mention I can’t rely on my job to eat a meal anymore when I’m not working. I’m tired and angry and $12 an hour isn’t going to change anything for the better.

do you really think this is an unpopular opinion? i feel like the majority of sbux baristas are feeling like this rn. i’m glad you were able to find something else! i also left for a different job (different coffee shop), and it’s really one of the best decisions i’ve made

October 15th is the general work strike in America. They can’t fire you for striking. Know your options

I don’t even look at my paycheck. Luckily I have some cushion to fall back on and Sbux is just the job right now to get out of the house and acclimate to other humans again. Today I went to pick up tips for a store I filled in at, 2 shifts, on the weekend, 3 dollars in tips. I spent that driving over there. I was hired 6 weeks ago with 2 others. Both quit within the week. As did the manager who hired me. I have one apron and had to buy my own hat. I do love the art of making coffee, and coffee itself, and have already come to love all my partners. Bought concert tickets a month ago, my girl Regi picked up my 5:45 am shift for me. My girl Patti has to take her husband to the oncologist next week (he’s doing okay after treatment, just a follow-up) so I picked up her opening shift. I guess the free Spotify saves me 10 bucks a month. The parter drinks on shift help (I leave with a carrier everyday) as I was developing an expensive nitro cold brew habit - y’all, that shit is like 6 dollars for a medium! But like 65 calories and packed with caffeine. However, none of this makes up for not being paid a livable wage. I am making exactly the same amount of money I did 20 years ago at Dunkin’ Donuts. And I never even had to make a latte. 20 years ago! It’s so wrong. It’s not right. It’s not okay. We need to strike today.

Edited for grammar

Lmao most of the baristas on this sub is shitting on Starbucks including me, fuk this company

An unpopular opinion would be liking working for this shit company lol.

Hardly unpopular

So I just finished my 3 days of training on Saturday and my first day is tmr. I’m thinking about not showing back up. The environment is stressful, my trainer was extremely rude

very popular opinion. on top of that i know people who work at mcdonald’s and get paid more than i do. it honestly is so stressful

I’m out now that we don’t get food and drink on days off. Just waiting for my bean stock to be vested is 23 days!

welcome to this sub you’re a perfect fit

Not unpopular opinion and I'm realizing the nightmare working there...i started working there in August. I have already decided to quit since I had injured my ankle from getting pastry and sandwich in the freezer in chain company that starbucks has merge with. The chain company pretty much blame me for not being trained on moving ice pallets (they were supposed to train me)that was blocking the starsbucks sandwiches and pastry in the freezer. I'm still absolutely livid about getting written up for slipping in that freezer just to climb over to get stuff for the kiosk. People I work with are nice but I can't work for a company that isn't liable for terrible management and training.
