This thread has helped me so much in terms of validation of my experience at Starbucks. It made me feel less alone, and laugh at so many different things only we would know about. I've had a great time here, but I've gotta go. It's been about three months sense I quit, and it's time for me to let go. I hope this thread continues to help old, current, and future baristas. 299- signing out for good.
