first day tmmrw (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by E_rik01
I got hired about a week ago and my manager said to come in and bring my documents. I’m so nervous and getting so anxious I’m getting a stomach ache. I used to work at a boba place but I know how much more busier Starbucks is. I’m so nervous and scared.

it can be scary at first, but i’m sure you’ll do great! if tomorrow is your “first sip” (orientation), it’ll probably be pretty easy going.

it can be pretty stressful when it’s busy, but it can also be really fun, especially when you find some coworkers you like and get the hang of how to make drinks! i hope it goes well :)

edit: spelling mistake

i have pretty bad social anxiety so i was freaking out basically my first month lmfao but it’s really not that hard. if you’re really stressed try making notes on your phone of things you learned that day just so you can go back and study it. also i watch starbucks employees on tiktok make certain drinks sometimes if i forget how to do something! good luck, you got this

You may feel like a burden the first weeks/month or so because you won’t know any of the recipes but I promise nobody knows everything. People are more than willing to answer any questions you have!! The more questions you ask the better you’ll understand the job. Good luck!!

it can be overwhelming the first few shifts, but you are going to be a fucking rockstar.

i used to work at a boba shop before starbucks, it’s like way more different, even the matcha recipe. Just go in with an open mind. it will be overwhelming the first 2 weeks, give your self a month or 2 to adjust. ask questions and when you don’t know what to do just stock. you got this!
