I’m so frustrated after today. I close every Sunday and it is unbearable how constantly busy it is and only having 3 people the entire afternoon, usually with only 2 people on the floor. I solo bar every single shift with some help every once in a while. While I enjoyed bar at first, I’m tired. My back hurts and so does my neck, the bending over that I have to do constantly has caused me to hurt my lower back multiple times now and I have never had back problems before. The constant stress of having to work on 3-4 drinks at once and doing handoff and having to explain shortages to people is just becoming too much. Lately, I have been closing with the same people and I’m so frustrated at how one girl refuses to step onto bar. Her reason was “it gives me anxiety”. Like… it does for me too?? And everyone else? And then another person I close with is very slow at bar and today she was trying to be my cold bar during a huge rush and made some drinks wrong which is expected when you dont have much bar time. but idk. I’m just frustrated with how sbux refuses to train people and staff properly, like its still busy in the afternoons. We could at least have a precloser. And we also have a rush before closing most nights and it is so hard to be constantly worried about making drinks, restocking, and preclosing my entire shift. I’m just fed up and tired of being stuck on bar for my entire shifts because I am the only one who is fast enough to keep up. Especially when I come home in pain after every shift.
