Honestly sometimes store culture is toxic for new people and it’s unfortunate. I’d say just be as friendly as you can and give them time to warm up to you. As for the not enough training you could always let your manager know. I took pictures of the register screens and looked through recipe cards online or through quizlet but I’m extra. It’s always a good rule of thumb to help out where you can as well. Doing things like filling the ice buckets, restocking milks, changing the trashes, wiping down the counters, brewing coffee etc

I started recently and open most days; I've not been taught most things, and very much feel like I was thrown to the wolves. (I don't know if my coworkers dislike me; I feel like they do, bit I don't really have any good reason to think they do)

I really really wanted to quit for a while, and, honestly, I still do sometimes (CW: >!if I'm being *completely* honest, the job makes me want to die sometimes (not in a rhetorical way: like I have intrusive, suicidal thoughts)!<).

It is getting better, though; maybe not day by day, but I know it's not as bad as it was this time last week. The only real advice I can give you is to try and stick it out for a while longer, and maybe journal about it or something so you can look back and see if it's getting any better.

Make sure you do your best to stay hydrated, and don't do anything like quit without giving it a good amount of thought (sometime when you're not as stressed out as you might be at work; stress makes it hard to think rationally). If it does come to that, though, it's worth reminding yourself that a job that makes life not worth living probably isn't worth working.

I’m experiencing this exact same thing :/ I have no clue what I am doing due to lack of training and I feel like everyone is annoyed with me whenever I ask them questions constantly. But I would rather have them not like me and annoy them with my questions than to do my job wrong 🤷‍♀️

oh i’m sorry you feel like this. i was in the same exact situation when i started. i think every new person is. i didn’t have proper training, and they threw me into opening. my coworkers we civil and professionalish. i could see that they were all really close to each other and i was the odd one out, but they were still nice.

BUT i cried every time i went home for about 2 months. i wanted to quit because all the morning people were super intense. and whenever it was peak they became super rude.

it started to get better whenever i actually stood up for myself. they were all yelling at me how to make a drink differently. i got so fed up during peak and i said “look. i’m a human too. idk if any of y’all realize this, but you ALL are telling me how to make a drink differently. so while i’m checking the recipe card y’all need to get your shit together because i’m tired of this.”

after that they apologized and it slowly got better. i honestly think it just takes time to learn the drinks. if you can get to month 3, i promise it’ll start getting better.

i also think your idea of moving to midday is a good thought. midday will give you time to learn the drinks, and everything else. and you’ll see the morning people in passing and get to know them that way. i know you got this, but at the end of the day, do what’s best for you!

It gets better. My veteran co worker clogged our sink yesterday my stores condition were so disgusting and they are still being kept as good workers. I have no clue why this happens. I am a newbie.
