Idgaf is your a shift, barista, or even a manager, please do not yell "Do something" to me during a full drive through and packed cafe peak (self.starbucksbaristas)

I was customer support and amidst the chaos, I was trying to collect my thoughts about what I need to check when a fellow barista yelled "Don't just stand there, do something!" at me. Just an fyi to all the other baristas out there, you have no clue what your fellow partners are going through, so be kind to them.

refucking tweet if I’m standing blank for a few seconds there’s usually a reason please don’t yell at me for trying to get my brain back 😐

Hey guess what?? Next time you see that person standing doing nothing use there words against them and if they say something to you just remind them of this exact thing

bruh my manager got onto me for “making drinks slower than usual”. my head was elsewhere, got forced to come in for my shift when i was gonna take my dog to the ER vet. she knew this and had the audacity to tell me to work faster.

I would have been sorely tempted, when your manager yelled "do something!", to strike the pose and sing out loud "WALK LIKE AN E-GYP-TIAN..." (as in the 80s music video)

I’m picturing you pulling severed hands out of your apron pockets and throwing them at people.

My autistic adhd brain constantly freezes up in high stress situations. If someone yelled that at me id probably go full meltdown.

Nooo no no no
If I notice something like that my go to is "do you need a break from this position?" Or "Go take a breath and a drink of water I'll cover"
It gets overwhelming af sometimes
