This job isn't fun anymore (self.starbucksbaristas)

Almost all customers are extremely rude, especially because we're always out of everything (not our fault) or because we take too long (because we have way less people than we should). Our SM hates night shift and coddles morning shift and doesn't even try to hide it. The cutback on hours has stressed everybody out and made it almost not worth the money to me anymore (four hours a week is BS). A few nights ago we had 3 people scheduled from 7-10pm, meaning no pre-close tasks got done, and when the SM closes they have an army of around 8 people. When I started a few months ago I loved learning new recipes and genuinely enjoyed work. But my training was extremely low quality and that just adds to the stress. I don't look forward to work at all anymore and I'm about to just quit.

we were about to get remodeled and we put multiple signs out about the remodel and how it would cause us to have shortages of most things because they weren’t sending us most of the stuff on truck anymore. most of the reviews for our store before the remodel are 1-3 star, complaining about us being out of product 😭 i don’t understand people

also a few days ago i wasn’t scheduled to work and neither was my bf, we literally went in and it was me, him, the shift, and a new girl. we helped the shift close because it was his first close. it was bullshit bc we were so busy until 10 and we only had 3 of us on the floor

Someone literally called me an obscenity today for being out of an item. People can't read signs and/or think they don't apply to them. And that close sounds so frustrating, I'm sorry. Hopefully things start looking better soon.
