Finished training (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Acceptable_Rate_2729
Just finished training last week and have had 3-4 shifts on the floor now. Apparently I was taught practically every thing wrong. Other people were on my ass all shift because everything I do is wrong, but that's how I was taught 😭 it's so frustrating. My trainer was new, so I'm not sure why they even had them training. they have only worked there for 3 months. I really don't mind being corrected or having help, but all shift it was "what are you doing?! Why are you doing it like that!" 😭

First off, I’m a bit confused why your store would have you training with someone who’s still practically new themselves. Second, I don’t think the way your coworkers are approaching you about it is helpful or necessary either. It shouldn’t be something where they’re questioning you about the way you do things, they should patiently and kindly approach it as a learning opportunity and help you out.

It’s not a big deal when someone does something incorrectly or out of standard, and I hate when coworkers turn it into something it’s not. It makes the other person feel embarrassed and probably uncomfortable. The way I see it, it’s a learning opportunity for everyone.

I’m sorry your experience has started off this way, hopefully you get some better training. You’ve got this!! It gets easier with time 😊

I honestly have NO idea why they are having new people train. I asked about it my first training shift. I literally got to the point where I wanted to cry during the shift because of how much they were after me. I know they were frustrated and I was as well, but it made me feel awful!

As someone who is pretty new, I’m still learning stuff. Luckily I have super great coworkers who aren’t bitchy, but my trainer wasn’t the best either. He covered some stuff but not everything, which led me to make a bunch of mistakes in the next couple weeks. It’s okay, everyone has been new. Try to find someone who makes you feel comfortable asking questions and then ask as many as you can. You’ll do great. :) also let’s be real, we all just fake it till we make it anyways.
