Don't bad talk about your partners if you going to act "Besties" towards them (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by MemesandSpeech
I have 1 partner who apparently nobody truly **"likes"**. **(Always checks on the clock, doesn't often stock / offers to get the syrups. lids, etc.) This person DOES do good on bar and warming but has a very slick mouth (As in says things a little too loud \*No Filter\*)** Recently I've been seeing my other coworkers grow attach to her **(Conversating, joking, etc.)** but when she out of sight, they do the exact opposite. **(Badmouthing about her.)**

Honestly, I get having a turn around on people **(Also it's SB; we all have an opinion about one another)** but don't be doing this **"I'm real"** and do this nonsense. This is why I keep my mouth shut when comes to any of my partners asking me who do I don't like and other nonsense.

YES YES YES, the Starbucks that I work at has the most toxic shift leads EVER!!! They gossip about all the baristas including each other and act like they’re buddy buddies. It’s FUCKING MADDENING!! It’s also super uncomfortable to be around these kind of folk, I’m sorry your experiencing this ):

Its my biggest pet peeve I would see it in the group chat to. Besties be at this shit.
One day I decided to play the bestie role once just to umm see how fake it is. I got called out for it lol

Honestly I did this at my last few stores just lie :) tell them lies that they can gossip on.

Always hide your personal shit and if you can lie.

I’m sorry that happened to you, they’re behavior is icky as heck. I am going to talk to my SM and our supervisor to find a way to approach this behavior. Because as leaders they’re meant to create a healthy or at least safe work environment and they’re not. Plus they get paid more so I don’t give a fuck. I was triggered bc I started talking to the people that they don’t like and they started to be extra nit picky with me. I work very well and I have ADHD which I am not shy about and I get distracted, but I know for a fact that I haven’t had a problem with that. The problem started when I started to talk to those that they gossip about. So I was told that my talking was a distraction and when I became silent the shift lead told me that she hadn’t asked me not to talk. So I broke down because of how absurd and indirect the criticism was. I have had enough and they also talked horribly about another shift lead who’s dad died. They literally were talking shit about her switching shifts. It’s incredibly unacceptable. Back to the talking being a distraction topic, they talk so much…. Literally stand and do nothing and that’s something I’m going to bring up w the supervisor because the company loses more money if two shift leads are talking than one barista or two. They need a lesson on leadership and I’ve been a manager before and I’ve been captain and a leader of a sport my whole life so I absolutely know this behavior is icky and unprofessional. I’ve made a hit list on my notes detailing all of their horrible behavior and I have written solutions for such behavior. They also accosted another partner who has autism and bullied them for being non verbal when they were attacking them. It’s just horrible behavior and not leader behavior. And I’ll be damned if I stay quiet over such nasty behavior. They get hella benefits like us and they’re such drama queens. Insecure and sensitive cowards who have nothing better going on with their lives. Again I’m so sorry they’re horrible people. I don’t blame you for wanting to leave, but if I were you I’d speak up. Yes it’s uncomfortable, yes it’s difficult. But shit they get paid more to hold a standard sooo…. I don’t doubt that you’ve worked your butt off, I don’t doubt that you’re an incredible worker. 💜

OMG!!!! Im on the same boat! I totally understand and you’re not dramatic. Rejection hurts like hell and it wasn’t like you made it up in your mind, they were being blatant about it. )): assholes. I’m proud of you for being sober, I’m proud of you for struggling and for pushing through.

I mean I'm used to it but one thing about this partner is that she showboat / complains a lot (Always be counting down the time till she clocks out and complains how she be working too much even though she be first to take shifts; she works this whole week and always mentions it like it's tiring. Like, you took and agreed to the shifts so stop boasting -\_-)

This is very concerning. And I’m sorry that’s happening at your store. How do I know that that’s happening, though? Because all my coworkers have been super nice, but now that you’ve mentioned this issue…
