I work in a really really small Starbucks where our manager is not always in at work. Most of the extra responsibility was taken on by one of our shift leads who's been there the longest. Since we don't get the same type of supervision, some newer rules from corporate can take a bit longer to reach us. Ever since I took a really sudden medical LOA because of a drug problem, said shift lead has been treating me differently than the others I think. I know I'm not the best worker Starbucks ever had but I genuinely really try to do my best and all the other shift leads have zero problems w me. But this one is always correcting me, trying to catch me in a mistake, gives me certain job then tells me I'm bad at it (followed w advice on how to do better, which I'd appreciate if she weren't literally always stone cold w me). And technically that's her job right, she's a shift lead, and she needs to watch over the baristas and make sure they're doing stuff right. But I'm also not blind. I can see the way she talks to the other workers : overly cheerful, laughing, more personal and open. But most of all she'll make me do things exactly the way corporate wants w all the new rules and everything but won't tell others. It's honestly baffling. Some baristas at our store always make their own drinks and don't even know they're not supposed to, while if I'm even behind the counter while another barista is making my drink, this shift lead will tell me I was supposed to wait in the 20 minute line up and order it ( I've literally never seen any other of our baristas ever do that at our store, and we're notoriously understaffed, I would have probably been late to come in if I did that, which I mean now i guess I have no choice but to show up half an hour early to work (which already takes me an hour 15 minutes to get to) to get a coffee at the coffee shop I work at ).

Since she's technically just applying the rules, she's not doing anything wrong, and Im afraid if I confront her she'll say it's because I'm a bad barista that needs to be watched and told what to do. I have many mental problems and I'm not sure I could handle a confrontation rn, but since I came back from medical LOA I stopped existing in the Starbucks system, and so I can't just transfer to another store that easily. I'm moving in two months and I'm hoping to use that as my excuse to bring up a potential transfer so that my manager has the time to sort it out. But I really liked this store, and I'm not sure I even wanna keep working there till July because of how much this has gotten to my head. Anyone been through something similar? What would you suggest?
