I only broke down crying once today! And it was after work from stress so… Yay? One more than usual but one is better than ten I guess

I'm about to go in.... Pray for me
aldrif-odinsdottir2 points1y ago
Most of me didn't.
Got put on my worst position through peak (front PoS), got told to "pay more attention" (I have ADHD and APD), and got told, when I was on the brink of tears, that I was being demeaning by a SSV because I wasn't speaking right (again: brink of tears, neurodivergent, can barely understand what people are saying), and I guess that came across as rude.
So I spent the next two hours crying while working the front register and then had a total breakdown on my lunch break, and came back in with my face bruised up.
Oh, but I got Chick-fil-A fries to show how much my manager appreciates me (except I didn't actually get the fries; they just told me that).
And now I get to go back in in under an hour, and again tomorrow morning.
aldrif-odinsdottir2 points1y ago
Oh, yeah, and this was coming off of not being able to eat because my bills outweigh my paychecks and they didn't count tips like they were supposed to. I had to take my Adderall yesterday morning without food, which just made everything worse instead of better.

I got super lucky my DT store was closed due to renovations (mainly because we got our parking lot repaved) and I got put at a Cafe only store and the store manager was pushing those cups on people to get rid of them. So it wasn't too bad but I almost lot I on a couple impatient people who don't understand that your order is made in order.

Couldn’t work today even if I was scheduled, had pretty hight fever Tuesday night

Honestly was expecting worse. Although I only started at noon. It was busy as hell but seeing customers leave when I told them we sold out within minutes of being open filled me with joy
breadcat31 points1y ago
The first customer of the day tried to argue with us because she thought if she ordered ten holiday drinks she got ten red cups
Aurora_Boreallis [OP]1 points1y ago
We’re they not supposed to? Hell we have them out just to be done
breadcat32 points1y ago
No idea my manager just told us one per person
someginger61 points1y ago
My store still has 63 cups. It’s red cup day(s) over here
aninotnahgiel1 points1y ago
Alive, but I fear my grip strength will never recover after doing my 7th day in a row of support. Whipped creams are brutal when you already have repetitive motion injuries.

I survived but wanted to lose my shit on every customer who wanted to act like a fucking child about tHe ReD cUpS
Markedsoultheif1 points1y ago
I absolutely ate shit this morning half an hour into my shift. Had to spend the rest of it covered in mud. Trained a new barista on front. And then proceeded to nearly eat shit every single time I tried to walk.
pompous-pomeranian1 points1y ago
My store had so many we gave them away with non-holiday drink purchases and supplied other stores, although our sales almost doubled today because other stores in the district turned off mobile orders which drove traffic to my store.

I work in a licensed store, and it was chill.

My arms were hurting from barring so much, my neck was hurting from looking down so much, I spilled steamed milk on my hands a couple of times today and was too busy to care… tired but alive

Never thought I'd say this, but I'm lucky I got Covid when I did.
