Does having chronic / seasonal asthma cause any problems for Sbux workers? (self.starbucksbaristas)

Chronic asthma barista here - not sure how bad your asthma is but the cleaning products we use don’t have any added fragrances so they really don’t bother me. Bleach in the bathroom cleaner is strong so it’ll depend on your triggers. Smokers & ppl wearing strong perfume in drive thru sometimes trigger attacks for me but I wear a mask when interacting with customers, which helps a lot & my shifts/mangers are pretty cool about moving me if I tell them something’s triggering my asthma. For reference pine-sol and febreeze trigger attacks for me but the stuff at work doesn’t. Hope that helps!

Thank you this helps a lot!! My asthma is honestly not that severe but it still made me worried about getting the job.
