Low pay + entitled customers + shitty customers + major supply line issues + poor management + corporate would rather make a buck than make things easier for baristas = why the fuck would anyone want to be a partner anymore?

someone called out of my store because they were tired

Lack of consistency in hours (full time in my store is 20-30 which is a joke for low paid labor), a lot of pressure on taking on increased emotional labor in a already high emotional labor job… most people on a bad day probably say hell screw the 50 bucks I’d make today I rather just stay home

this is NOT just at Starbucks. I have friends who work across different retail places, warehouses, manufacturing and even office jobs where this is the case. The labor force has changed dramatically and people learned during the pandemic you needed to take care of YOURSELF and find more balance between work/life

This is the new normal of Starbucks :)

My store is the same way. Always short staffed, closing early because no one comes in. I’m sick of trying to change my schedule around others and getting called in early because we can’t keep people at our store. I want to switch stores or give my two weeks but that would just add to the issue for everyone else. I got less than a week of training and I’ve worked there for 3 months and still don’t know what I’m doing. I am literally giving up idk what to do

I mean it kinda sounds like you answered your own question. Shit place to work, why would anyone take the time to come in or care long term ?

As a greenbean i found training really overwhelming. There is so much and the store is always busy. People come in waves all at the same time and some of them are hangey when they have to wait or see someone who put their order in on mobile just show up and get their coffee before them when they just put their order in a minute ago.

Also its that 1% of customers who are complete jerks that REALLY put a damper and lower the energy. Most are cool and when they see you are trying to make them happy they are patient and gracious.

But i sometimes feel like there are coworkers who are impatient with me one of them I can literally feel the annoyance roiling off of them. Another is just impatient because she is fast and great at her job but really wants me to "get with the program" i have a disability and told the store manager that when I interviewed along with the reasonable accomodations I would need to be sucessful as a barista. Most of the people I work with are amazing but these two make a shift longer for me.

Having similar staffing issues at the starbucks I transferred to. Employees are getting burnt out. I only work weekends since I go to school full time, but during every shift I start getting a migraine, and sometimes they happen before my shift starts.
