I’m surprised your dm hasn’t said anything yet
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 130 points 1y ago
She understood but was worried I’d ‘burn out’ which I’m still on this streak I haven’t had a day off yet but I’m vibing this is an easy job compared to my old one so I’ve been really enjoying it☺️

What was your last job
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 69 points 1y ago
I used to work in construction and then as a cook on Fort Bliss, the job was awful and they definitely take advantage of you, I worked long hours preparing over 800 servings of food from scratch and what was more draining was the constant degrading I received from management and other coworkers. Having a job like this makes me ecstatic to work and it’s easier (though still a tasking job in other ways) for me to pull overtime!
Aliciarox11189 38 points 1y ago
I can see how barista is an upgrade (sorry the last job was a bit shit )

I hope the pay is better too :)
Dodobrain38 2 points 1y ago
Did you ever use culinary cream by any chance when making food?
monzoink 11 points 1y ago
that’s awesome, I could never get enough hours 😂 my manager kept giving me 4.75 hour shifts and I could never get overtime no matter how many shifts I covered… I even worked 19 days in a row once so I could get to 40 hours a week for a little bit, so good for you!
DeadDear 4 points 1y ago
How long have you been working for? Burnout is real. Don’t push yourself too hard and stay safe!
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
For awhile but honestly I’m p set this is what happens when you put someone who was getting exploited in high labor jobs into a place like Starbies you get these hours lol
PiscesQueen24 117 points 1y ago
Bestie how do you do it ? I only work 20 a week and this job makes me want to rip my hair outttt
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 58 points 1y ago
The staff is so sweet so we’re all good friends and I had a job before this on Fort Bliss that really took advantage of my labor so this job feels v light in comparison, though not to minimize being a barista at all it can be a lot and I do go home with my social battery drained
PiscesQueen24 19 points 1y ago
Wow I’m happy for you😭 I wish all the Starbies stores were like that ! I mostly just see partners on here talking about how much they dislike working at the siren
SnooShortcuts8570 9 points 1y ago
I feel you. Only thing that really drains me about the job is the customers and physically being on my feet
edit: and our broken a/c :((((
ThankfulWonderful 3 points 1y ago
Shoes for Crews changed my feet feelings recently and I would highly recommend them

Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 82 points 1y ago
A manager with her two weeks put in 💀💀💀
persona-2 27 points 1y ago
Well that makes sense. The DM is gonna freak out.
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 25 points 1y ago
She was only worried if I’ll be to tired to do it but i used to work a really difficult job before this so I’m tanking like a pro it helps that all my friends work with me so the energy is always up✨☺️✨
bluths10dollarbanana 5 points 1y ago

Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 65 points 1y ago

No-Pearl000 28 points 1y ago

ExtentAccomplished32 22 points 1y ago
SM: im cutting you back to 23 hours this week
Me: challenge accepted, i got bills to pay
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 32 points 1y ago

Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 35 points 1y ago
Ive BEEN the go to for covers the one time they reduced my hours I hit 56.5 that week I’m definitely that “Waffle House smoker waitress with blue eyeshadow” vibes I’m always there to call you sugar and make you that Tiktok drink
ThankfulWonderful 3 points 1y ago

xXTimbloXx 6 points 1y ago
Are you… okay?
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 36 points 1y ago
I can taste stevia in my dreams but otherwise I’m amazing
xXTimbloXx 10 points 1y ago
No I understand because inhaling stevia is a daily occurrence unfortunately
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 17 points 1y ago
The film coating my lungs of stevia, matcha and Malt powder goes brazy
TJW351 3 points 1y ago
Don’t forget that mocha powder
Motor-Literature-896 5 points 1y ago

bisexualgirlboss 5 points 1y ago
Shit the most I’ve worked is 48-49 hours but like damn I’d work THAT many hours if they’d let me🙄
0x52and1x52 5 points 1y ago
holy overtime
graylikesoap 4 points 1y ago
oh my god i would die but also i get in the mood to work every second of every day
sneakyminder123 4 points 1y ago
I worked 16 hours a week before I quit Starbucks I was so burnt out balancing it with school and the gym how the hell did you do this
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 3 points 1y ago
I’ve worked other really hard jobs in comparison, school did end recently so I’ve been going above my usual hours by a bit (I tend to hit 40-55 a week)
peepeepoopaccount 4 points 1y ago
Jesus
I’m curious, are you working 7 days a week I assume and how long are your shifts each day?
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 7 points 1y ago
I worked every day with a few of them being open to close! I’m still on this streak and tomorrow was supposed to be my first day off in two weeks but my friend is sick so I agreed to cover her tomorrow hehe ✨
Partymixvix 4 points 1y ago
HOW
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 16 points 1y ago
So basically… you take a woman from Texas who worked construction and in a military mess hall and put her in a Starbies and you get THAT
Partymixvix 7 points 1y ago
You are a bad b for real girl. good luck out here I’m rooting for you:))))))
HarleyLeMay 2 points 1y ago
My SM and my ASM are from Texas lol. As well as one of our SSVs.
eagle6705 3 points 1y ago
My Friend was asked by the DM to work at another store that he approved to cover some shifts Not realizing he(The DM) forgot to ask our store manager what his hours were. However my manager heard about it and asked if I can cover the rest of his shifts since a class got cancelled that week. ( it wasabout 20 something hours)

Funny part...it was only Wed and my DM already got in trouble for all the OT his district was having....My friend was already at 41 hours...

And yes my friend had even less of a life than I did and basically didnt mind working as long as he got paid.
Vauxiliatrix 3 points 1y ago
i am immensly jealous i WISH i cudve pulled these hours
g_pvp_3 3 points 1y ago
my store isn’t a super busy store all day everyday like not the busiest in the district or anything compared to most so i’m assuming yours is. i don’t think we have enough labor to schedule anyone 60 hours a week at the bux
New-Ad4364 3 points 1y ago
plz gimme some there’s a labor shortage at my location and i’m getting like 6 hours a week
RubySapphireSage 2 points 1y ago
I need to know if the check was worth it 🥹!
overturned23 2 points 1y ago
are you ok?
heyumsorryitsme 2 points 1y ago
literally how are you getting scheduled 61 hours when im barely getting scheduled 24 as someone who is supposed to work full time?!
darkwolf523 2 points 1y ago
Making that money I see
Keithxmizu 2 points 1y ago
im trying to be like you my boy but they don’t let me work that much :/
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
I honestly just have everyone come to me specifically for covers and say “no one else could”
tumblrsalsa 2 points 1y ago
the fact that ur scheduled 60 is crazy to me
Apprehensive_Row_912 [OP] 1 points 1y ago
So it was originally 37 I picked up these shifts and my Manager edited them in which is why it said 61
Own-Initial-5782 2 points 1y ago
God I wish. Next week I’m only getting 11 hrs
ConfusedFey 2 points 1y ago
Man if you keep this up, august is gonna have you riiiiiich. I worked 48 hours the last two weeks and my paycheck was stacked (imo) so I can only imagine how 71 hours with 15/hr will look
Garrickrelentless 2 points 1y ago
I thought my 47 hours this week was overkill. Be sure to take care of yourself! 😅
AccomplishedWill471 2 points 1y ago
howwww !? we max out around 35 hrs (with exception of a few)
littleorphananney 2 points 1y ago
bestie you good?? you need a nap?? I feel like you need a 50 hour nap. Ik I would ffs

omg… we’re not allowed to do more than 44 hours here bc of overtime. well we’re allowed but they don’t let us work more than that so they don’t have to pay us overtime. sometimes i wish we could bc the pay would look amazing!!
