Tell your friend to stop telling you this stuff. That might seem bad but imo, your friend telling you this stuff isn't solving anything. Tell your friend next time someone talks about you that they should approach the person they have an issue with instead of talk behind their back. If your friend won't do that, are they really your friend or a great gossiper?

i probably should do that but even if she doesnt tell me, i still know that they all talk about me when im not there. my friend isnt the type of person to get into drama/ start drama, and thats one of the reasons theyre one of my only friends there. i get what youre saying though, a true friend should defend you when youre not there. although i dont blame her cause if i were in that situation, id be intimidated to speak up and have all the shit get thrown onto me, yk what i mean? its just a crappy situation:/

I think maybe try talking to your manager first? Or a shift you trust? I think it's super helpful for everybody if you do. If she's a little bully, you're helping your manager know that there is a problem in the crew, to prevent higher turnover. Even if you just let the manager know on your way out (like, talk to them personally when you quit).. Stuff like that can ruin a whole crew, because it spreads. You'd be doing everyone a favor, and if you're leaving anyways, it can't hurt you. You may be surprised. It may help. Just a thought.

ive considered that except my manager is as childish as my coworkers. she feeds in on the drama and shit talks people with other coworkers and when those coworkers arent there she will talk about them. i dont trust any of the shifts given that they all talk behind my back. as for the one girl, a family member (not stating their relationship because im scared they might find this thread) of hers is a shift. when i do quit, im definitely going to sit down with my manager and let her know in person. if the majority of my coworkers were friendly, i wouldnt be considering leaving on the spot. but theres only two or three people there that treat me like a human. thank you for your advice though, it's appreciated <3

Oh man, that's the worst. I had a manager like that at a restaurant once, and I definitely quit. "Workers quit bosses/people not jobs. " my coworkers can be annoying sometimes at Starbucks, but my manager is pretty great and tries to set a good tone. Good luckwith getting your new job!

This is just my opinion, so do what's best for yourself and your mental health!
It sucks, but quitting short notice just puts more pressure on everyone at the store because they'll need to find coverage for your shifts. If there's anyone you respect or don't hate, please try to give a full two weeks notice. We're all headed into holiday season and the entire company is experiencing high call-outs and short-staffing.
If you don't care about that one girl, you don't need to care what she thinks or says about you. You know what's true and what's not. You respect yourself enough to recognise her behavior is immature, so think of her like a middle schooler.
