Imo the best way to handle it is "grey rock"-ing her.

Social pleasantries only. "Good morning", "Goodbye", that's it. If she asks you a question, answer it as boring as possible. Example:

How was your weekend? "Fine, thank you. Yours?" (You don't have to listen)

Just fine? Did you do anything fun? "Just relaxed really."

It provides the basics of social interaction but not friendliness. It doesn't look like you're purposefully ignoring them but it does still get the point across: it's not a friendly relationship.

A trainer with a “short fuse” doesn’t sound like a good fit for new partner experiences

Straight up ignoring her isn't going to improve anything. If she's the type of person who has an attitude with everyone bring it to your DM and provide proof that you have already spoken to your supervisors and manager beforehand.

If she just has an attitude with just you, I'd ask if you guys could have a conversation with your SM together to resolve the issues between the two of you.

This is a gray area situation. She was rude to you, so you have every right on how u choose to react with her after. You had the right to ignore her. I think from her point of view, she just want the best for you and for you to do things right. She probably thinks she’s not doing a good job training you when you make things wrong. I think this hurt look is coming from this. She means well but don’t know how to express herself and she probably also want to get along with you too. Some people are just like that… they can’t express themselves well. Like if she went out her way to say bye to you, I think she does care about you. I think you should talk to her. Because it can’t be going sour after the first day of training. If this continues and she doesn’t want to take feedback on how she should approach things then it’s up to u on how u want this trainer trainee relationship to unfold.

Edit: just read ur other post, she got u written up? Ok fck that btch. Just ignore her.

I would tell the dm your experience, you shouldn't have to put up with a rude coworker especially your trainer just because they have a short fuse

I mean, we all grow our own little social gardens. It’s not your fault she only planted weeds.

Awww! I just wanted to say how much that sucks. I literally call the people I train my Starbucks children. And I protect them! I even have Starbucks grandchildren. The only thing that’s even close to that is “If a partner you know and get along with comes in you give them their drink for free. Like if you came in a I would give you a drink for free. Don’t come in with a group of ppl or anything. But I’ll get you. (Oh nooo I pressed the wrong button 😮) If you tell anyone I said this I will play very dumb and call you a lie.” 😂

Anyway! I’m sorry you’re going through this

This is the kinda shit that happens working in this environment, and if you take it personally you aren’t going to be able to function. I started working as a barista in April. I am in my early 40s. (I made some bad business decisions, accompanied by mental health issues, so that’s why I am starting as a Starbucks barista in my early 40s.) I have a co-worker who is less than half my age and he is obnoxious as fuck. To be honest, he gets into it with like everyone that works there, and I’ve seen others almost deck him out on multiple occasions. Yesterday he implied that I was handing off a drink to him because I couldn’t figure out how to make it (when in reality, I was on CS and just helping the girl on bar out while the kid was on his 30), and I, someone who hasn’t gotten into a physical altercation since high school, wanted to slam his face into the matcha. But like, it’s never worth it. You get pissed, and then you have to just let it go, or it eats you up. Some people are just assholes, but unfortunately, sometimes you have to work with assholes. Ignoring your coworker is just gonna make things worse for everyone involved. If she’s being a dick, by all means, go for it, but if she’s trying to be pleasant, be mature and respond in kind. You don’t have to be best buddies with her, but that kinda shit just sours the atmosphere for everyone on shift.

Your coworker isn’t behaving maturely, but neither are you. The “professional” course of action would be to have a conversation with her or your SM to resolve whatever is going on - you chose the petty route of ignoring her 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m not saying anyone is right or wrong, but at the end of the day you decide what kind of person you want to be

Please don’t ignore people at work. I’m currently dealing with a barista who treats me like I don’t exist and I’m not sure what I did to warrant this treatment but it makes me feel 100% like shit. Just be pleasant and if she asks what’s up, tell her. People deserve to know what they’ve done wrong so they can correct their behavior.

Fuck her.

There’s absolutely no problem with that. I had a similar situation but my trainer tried to sabotage me on multiple occasions by gaslighting me over the simplest things like drink recipes. So I decided to completely ignore her existence, she only approached me about it one time by yelling across the store “Are you ignoring me?!” And I replied, “yes, I am.” (To which everyone laughed at her.) She didn’t continue to give me problems after that because I literally refused to give her the time of day.

I had a similar experience with a partner. Keep a little notebook with you. Every time she “snaps” or isn’t modeling green apron behaviors just go ahead and record it. Time and date if you can. If any other partners want in on it they could sign it as a witness to each incident. After you have a sufficient amount of incidents ask to sit down with your DM ☺️

I can’t blame you, but corporate will. If she feels bullied by you and reports you, you’ll get into trouble.

Dont blatantly ignore her even if she is rude. For the time being she continues to be your coworker so be cordial if anything else otherwise it blows up out of proportion depending on everyone else, who she talks to and who you talk to and what they say. Rumors are quick in small spaces like starbies. If it is a huge issue talk to your SM. If its bigger or it doesnt help, then go to your DM or Ethics. Regardless dont fight with her fire. Not a good look or experience. :/
