The title, all in all. I hate it. I have a two co workers who I can talk to without being in fear of something being said to shift. The customer, they suck the soul out of me. My SM says to be grateful we’re a fully staffed store, the only one in the district pretty much. Keep in mind every store surrounding us is a cafe and we are the only drive thru. However, that doesn’t matter if we have 2+ call offs every single day. I dread coming in, only to be thrown on cafe bar without a cold bar. Every day. For my whole shift pretty much, and to the shift who normally runs morning, I’m sorry I’m an asshole. This place has turned me into the side I wished I never saw again, my depression and anxiety took a severe turn for the worse. The customers watching me like we’re zoo animals, my SM getting upset about drive thru times, but also worrying about customers connections. Things in this company drive me crazy, The whole environment is sooo toxic. The cliques in the store, the drama that surrounds the SM and the shifts. I’ve been here for 9 months, not getting the hours I was guaranteed when I was hired in August. Getting attitude as a fresh 18 year old that needs hours to pay for school, bills at home (of which I heavily support), and my pet supplies. I can’t live off of 13$ working 25 hours a week.
I love making drinks, and I love my regulars and their dogs. Y’all make my day and it’d break my heart to leave. The worst part is that my SM tried to be so supportive but nothing I ever talk about them about ever happens, I don’t know if I can get a LOA for a few weeks to relax. But I don’t have the ability to not work, I have no support from anyone and I can’t not feed my cats or pay the electricity and gas bill, much less myself and the rest of my household. I hate how this place has run me into the ground.
