Promotion Day! (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by BabySteele
Today is my last day as a barista! I can't wait for tomorrow when I'll finally be promoted to customer! I blame this job for my raising depression. It was an eye opener for me to get out when I realized I started to self harm and have frequent suicidal thoughts. This is going to be a good step in the right direction.

At first I’m like 😀 then I’m like 😮. Damn the customers must be bitches. If not, was it ur coworkers or sm? Anyway I hope you find happiness. I correct the customers so this job doesn’t make me sad.

Not all sms are bad. If u like the job I hope u can return some day when you’re ready. Don’t pay attention to customers

I know not all SM are bad. Mine just is one of the "Starbucks is the best company to work for, no other company cares as much as ours does about us." (Literally said that to me once) and they also (i think) subconsciously plays favorites to those who are great at customer connection but those who aren't happy, giddy, and high energy like me are pushed aside. Even though I knew the most about our story, policies, and routine. Ive met really good SMs but it was after my mental health took a turn for the worse.
And as for customers, Ive been in Customer service type roles since I was 13. Thats 15years now. Im sick n tired of being yelled at for doing my job, ignored for asking a question, and not even seen as human. Im done with it.

I don’t like sm like that. Not being able to tell who just does it for the show. They’re not good judge of character. Anyway. U could talk back if u are in the right and reasoning with them. I’ve talk back many times and they don’t say anything because they know they can’t. They’re wrong. But I have sensible customers. It depends on where u work.
