Is being new awful for everyone ?(self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by meowmeowwz
so I’ve been at the store for about a month ( including my training) and I have NO CLUE wtf I’m doing ever. every shift is so exhausting and awkward because everyone dislikes me and I mess up so much. Someone plz tell me it gets better :(

It gets better! I started off having horrible anxiety before every shift for the first few months. I'm six months in and I feel confident in most areas of the store now!

The first three to four months I felt like an outcast and outsider. It seemed like everyone else knew what they were doing except me. Everyone was so quick and did everything right, and I didn’t. I wasn’t trained right either, so that didn’t help. I’ve been with SBUX for about 6 months, and it’s been amazing! It gets 100000000% better I promise! always remember that no one is and TRUST ME, it’s gets better with time! You got this, and you are worth it! :)

Thank you for this! That’s exactly how I’m feeling. Praying I don’t get fired because I seem to mess everything up

it’s almost impossible to get fired for being ‘bad’ at you’re job with starbucks. You’re just new, don’t worry too much! I have made some pretty bad mistakes😅, one time I brewed just a coffee filter during peak so we ran out of pike. This will pass and you’ll rock! I believe in you!!

I felt the same during my first three months. Trust me, it gets better. Hang in there, friend :)!

OMG SAME! I started like a week ago and the training period was so short,, so im really not that confident and I feel like I have absolutely no clue on what im doing. And our store is always so busy which makes it even worse! I have to go into work today and im so nervous already haha but lets hope it gets better!!!

I feel it girl I know 😭 I’m trying my best to have a good attitude but it’s hard. Good luck!

It gets better! Your poor training is not your fault. Ask lots of questions, especially if you think you *might* be doing something wrong, and you'll get there!

I’m about 6 months into working at the bux and the first few months I felt like a chicken without a head running around trying to figure out what to do, but it gets better! The longer you work the more you know what to do and you have time to engage with your coworkers and feel more comfortable

I sucked so bad my first couple months I became a pro at customer support. Almost 18 months later I’m a SSV who knows every exp date for everything 😂
