so i am a mid but mostly closing shift lead at a drive through. a little background: i started working here in march of the pandemic at little cafe making 20000 a week. super chill, learned fast and i LOVED going to work everyday. even though i didn’t like my manager, the team was mostly great and so were the customers! my manager wanted to promote me but didn’t want to let me go. so after months of telling me i was going to promote, she finally sat down with me and told me that she had been talking with a sm and asm at a drive through near where i lived for a while and they wanted me. i was about to be gone for two weeks, five days from then so they wanted to squeeze an interview in fast. so within three days i get interviews and offered the job at that store. it was a 90000 a week store with tons of partners and by a freeway (with lots of third place disturbances)! they pressured me into saying yes at the store and i had no idea what i was getting myself into. they expected me to be closing shift when i have never done a close before. they under trained me and just threw me in. now i am about three months in and i cry every time i have to go to work. toxic staff, hard hours and terrible customers. my new manager won’t let me switch stores and i can’t quit because i need asu! i have NO CLUE what to do. but going to work is UNBEARABLE!

Your new manager cannot ‘not let you switch stores’. You just have to fill out a transfer request form and your sm has 5 days to send it to your current dm who then sends it to the receiving dm. You should do your due diligence and find a store that you want to go to /has a need and is willing to take you and input that store on your transfer request form.
The only time a transfer request can be denied is if you are on a performance plan or have a corrective action issued within the last 6 months.
If your manager says you can’t transfer still then talk to your dm and call partner resources

the amount of times she has just said no to people is wild, her answer is just “change your availability” LIKE GIRL NOT THE ISSUE
