Starbucks Baristas: The daily grind

320**** promoted to customer (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Rowmaster-OwO
Howdy y'all, I know that a 320 leaving isn't as huge as a 200 something, but I do have words to say.
I quit, without notice, today. I'm aware I just might have screwed some people over, and how something that just took over my life for the past month is just, done. I will miss my coworkers so much, cause I did look forward to seeing them everyday. And I will in general miss the grind just a bit. But I have to move on. This job was making me tired, angry, and spiteful, accelerating issues I already have. I have had multiple blowups in the past few months due to this job alone. Idk how long I could have lasted longer. 2 weeks was too much. I just had to rip the bandage off
We are what make this store work. Not the CEO, not the corpo lawyers, not even DMs. Not anyone except the baristas, shifts, and on floor managers. Remember that always. They need us, and we need to remind them of it.
It will always miss my coworkers and apricate all they have done for me. They were truly the best team I have ever worked for. But fuck that shit for 12 an hour.

I quit without notice after a year and JUST before the pandemic. Thank goodness, because I’m now making way more money and I’m not up at 3:30 AM busting my ass so somebody with a filthy thermos can tell me I’m a “fucking idiot.”

Good for you. It's a rough job. Can I ask what made you snap?
Rowmaster-OwO [OP] 19 points 1y ago
Nothing really. Just the realization that the job I work will never pay my what I feel like I deserve.

Yeah, we got a pay rise recently... Of 20p. It's decent enough I guess but for the shit customers make me deal with?? Ugh. Sad thing is it's not even explicit rudeness, just the dehumanisation. If you're gonna say "I'll have a latte please" that's perfectly polite. But dropping a "hello" in there makes all the difference

i legit have multiple panic attacks through my shifts some times. the customers are insufferable, it’s crazy busy, understaffed, underpaid, and i have been working eight straight days in a row and i have just broken out in tears on the floor multiple times. starbucks is rough, i would bounce too if i could,

Congrats! You made the right choice. I recently quit too and I’m so much happier. You can do better!
