If you don’t wanna go in today, I would recommend calling the store and telling them as soon as they open. And tbh you don’t have to give in a two week notice and you can just quit on the spot, but tbh I would recommend it. Typically you would print out a formal two week resignation letter (you can find two week notice letter templates on google to make this easier) and give it to your manager. Texting your manager about your two week notice isn’t really ideal, but I mean it’s honestly up to you.

You can put in an "effective immediately resignation" and say it's for personal reasons. It is and they can not press. They can not say one bad thing about you and in fact will be considered rehireable. Take care of you. Their store is not going to burn down without you. They will be fine.

Honestly, I'm gonna get hate for this, but just call them and say your quitting immedietly or ghost them. You've only worked there for a few weeks, this job is NOT more important than your mental health. If the best thing you need right now is to leave, LEAVE. I'm sure for three weeks, you won't even write it on a resume or anything, so please, for your own mental health, just leave.


Ideally, you'd atleast tell them you won't show up for any more shifts so they could find coverage, but if you really just wanna be over with it, ghost them.


Please don't put others over yourself. And honestly, if your that new, you probably wouldn't be needed too much on the floor anyway. Mental health always first.

i know you’re worried about feeling guilty. but i have to lay it out: starbucks is a corporation, and we are literally trained to be customer priority. that means, even though your feelings are valid, they don’t mean anything to this company. which sucks. so you don’t owe them literally anything. no one can take care of you more than you can take care of you. so focus on that.

1. A proper Two Weeks notice is a professional courtesy and the purpose of to maintain a good relationship with your employer once you leave so that if you ever need them for a job reference or if you ever need to be rehired, that door is still open. If you don’t care about that then it’s not a problem and you can legally quit the day of. The only time this doesn’t apply is if you’re working somewhere under a contract, which, if you’re working in a Starbucks store you’re probably not on a contract. Pretty sure even managers don’t have contracts with the company. Also, I’m assuming you’re in the US? Not sure how it works in other countries. Also, this is not legal advice, just friendly comments.

2. “The number of callouts we’ve had this week” is NOT any of your business or your job to worry about. It’s never the barista’s job to worry about how many people have called out this week. Your job is only to worry about YOU. It’s literally your manager’s job to worry about how many people have called out this week. Your ability to show up for work or not is NOT related to how many other people have called out. If you are sick with a contagious disease or have an emergency situation, that doesn’t change depending upon the level of store’s needs. You’re not somehow less sick because the store needs you more. Those things are unrelated.

3. Similarly, whether your partners will hate you or not for it should have no part in your decision to remain at a job or quit. They are not your family or your friends, they are your coworkers. And if your coworkers are also your friends then they won’t hate you for leaving a job that you hate. Real friends wouldn’t guilt you into staying at a job that is unhealthy. Also, once you quit and never work with these people again why would you care what they think about you if you’re never going to see them again anyway?I promise you, staying there to keep them from hating you won’t do anyone any good. I bet you they would do the same to keep YOU happy.

4. Under normal circumstances I would always recommended having a new job secured first before quitting your current job. But obviously there are also exceptions like if a job is exceptionally bad or dangerous.

You have no obligation to give 2 weeks. Is it nice? Yeah but you don’t have to. I just wouldn’t recommend putting Starbucks on your resume if you quit immediately

I personally would write up a 2 weeks notice and give it to your SM. It’s more professional than texting. You aren’t required to work during those 2 weeks but it shows that you at least showed some common courtesy instead of just quitting. I mean you can but it may stop you from being able to reapply in the future.

I can totally relate to your post here. When I worked at SB I used to be an opener and would be up all night because I knew when I fell asleep that when I woke up it would be time for work. I used to cry on my way to work, and sometimes on my breaks I’d go out to my car and cry. It did not do my mental health well at all. The biggest relief I had was putting in my two weeks. I was there much longer than you, but it just seemed to get worse for me. If you feel like this only a couple weeks in, I’d suggest getting a new job. Feeling this way is just not good and you will thank yourself for moving on from there. Just remember it is okay to feel how you feel and you gotta do what’s best for you!

I recommend putting in for a three day break, working until that point and see how you feel after. I felt this way when I first started and honestly a few days away made the difference. I’ve been there 4 months and it’s hard, but it’s gotten way easier.

You are barely trained what does 2 weeks do? You aren’t an independent worker. just leave

Ofcourse they're gonna hate you but who cares? Either suck it up and finish your shifts or quit now and suck it up and let them hate you. It's gonna be hard either way so choose your hard.
