I was going away to grad school where I had an assistantship job lined up. It was also when COVID first hit and they were offering severance for anyone who left voluntarily.

I was about to graduate college and start a position in my field. I do miss the free drinks though :'(

i had a second full time job and the amount of taxes taken out my paychecks (due to federal W4 withholdings regarding having a second job) were more than my paychecks from Starbucks. loved working there for the change of pace (& mark outs) but it just didn’t make sense to work more and make less money overall.

Moving (temporarily) to another state for a work-study program. Hoping to be rehired at my store when I come back in a year.

manager wasn't enforcing mask wearing among customers, and told off one of my partners for insisting customers wear masks.

My mum works in health care managed to get me a recommendation of a job. I was on the verge of getting fired at my liscned starbucks and I just ended up switching to that job instead. I am now potentially signed on to work full time with them and having a happy ending for me.

I left mainly because I was getting harrassed by past classmates so forth, I was suspened in college 2017 the people that did that went hellbent that I am working any job now. Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have taken my education away then I wouldn't need to work at Starbucks. I have nothing against my co workers because of my pstd I don't go back to those locations or even my fromer college. I can't see it physical without it making me sick. My second job is a plus because it doesn't effect me.
