it’ll click eventually, don’t worry! the beginning is the worst. you’ve got this!

You’ll be ok. It’s your second day aside from training. You’re not going to get everything right away and even I’m slow on warming while doing 10 other things especially when I’m picking up everyone else’s slack or we’re slammed and I’ve been with Starbucks for 6 years. It’ll feel that way for awhile but eventually it’ll go away. You have to build confidence in yourself which I’ve learned the hard way and again been here 6 years and up until like 6 or 7 months ago I gained confidence in my abilities and it’s reflecting in my work. My shift taught me something you may find helpful. If you’re on pos or anywhere really take a minute and tap your fingers in an alternating rhythm. Left then right left then right. It should help you pull out of feeling stressed because you’re focusing on the rhythm instead of everything else. I even just tap out a tune with my finger nails like I’m practicing scales. It takes time. You just need to practice. The more you do things the better you’ll become because you’ll believe in yourself.

I’m right there with you!

I’ve been a partner for over 3 years and still struggle sometimes TBH. When you’re doing warming alone it can be overwhelming but then when you add register/CS it can be too much. Don’t feel bad. I got to a point where I realized my check will be the same if the food item/drinks come out in 30 seconds or 2 minutes. Don’t break yourself over this job :)

It takes time and practice!!! You'll get comfortable eventually don't try to rush it and don't get discouraged when customers/coworkers are upset with you. It's literally your second week.

After like a month generally
