i was in this position before being a shift- if you have no interest in being ssv, STOP doing shift stuff. if shift stuff doesn't get done or something that a shift is responsible for falls through the cracks, let that shift take the shit for it. you aren't getting paid enough as a barista to do the shift shit. i would constantly run the floor as my assigned shift would sit in the back not doing what they were supposed to be doing.

i know it's stressful in the moment to let things just play out without a shift, but you NEED to do it; no one deserves to be exploited. you don't get paid enough, do the work you're expected to do and nothing more. don't fall into the trap that I did, don't be a shift without shift pay. when I got promoted to shift I felt a bit better, the pay raise was substantial enough that I felt okay about my responsibilities. on a barista's pay? FUCK that noise.

make drinks, ring people up, run CS, or do DTO/window and nothing more. if the store is chaotic without your assistance as a non-shift shift, then it's chatoci and stressful. it is NOT on you to make up for your shifts' lack of responsibility.

Oh man that is not good. Ur a 294, a barista and yet ur running floors and doing shift things and getting paid as a barista. Thats wage theft like someone else stated. I kno u said u personally dont wana be a shift but u wana be a certified trainer instead but they cant have u training people and not paying u for it either. Are they paying u for that or no? But yea idk why they would make all the shifts at ur store outside hires. That is crazy.

And side note: I rarely ever hear anyone I'm here say that they are a barista in PA. It's mostly other states that I hear. I'm a barista and Eastern PA. What part of PA are you from?

I would just let everything become a dumpster fire. Like let it happen if they aren’t gonna pay you what they should.
