Who's hurting you, will fight with all the cake pops

Mental illness is one thing. Not remaining a happy, smiling, cheerful, connecting partner ? Fine.

But say please and thank you. Say excuse me, or even just the classic restaurant "behind" to fellow baristas.

Attitude is everything, and energy leaches love projecting their rude and volatile attitude on others.

It takes hours get past the nasty attitude of a coworker.

As someone who tends to overthink things, I often presume that I am the cause for strife. And then I remember that I was raised better.

as a gen z barista… we as a whole are not the problem. i myself am a hard and respectful worker, and so are all the other gen z baristas i’ve worked with. i personally have found that gen x baristas tend to be the most difficult to work with, but i’m not going around blaming their entire generation. you’re bound to get a few bad apples in every generation of workers and those people should be your managers problem to fix. if you have an entire store full of bad workers, that definitely seems like a management issue.

I swear every other post on this sub is you complaining about your baristas/gen z. At some point maybe you're the problem.

Man, u again Lolol. Just kidding. Ur store sounds so bad… and I don’t get why people wear leggings or try to dress outside of their dress code—u are literally paid to wear certain clothes so just stick to the dress code. Like if I see people wear leggings i straight up wanna flick some hot water on their legs. 100s missing shouldn’t happen. Ur sm need to write up people. No workers should sit outside and do nothing… lol ur store sounds so bad.

Bro just take it easy and stop caring too much. Unless u close.

Unfortunate truth is, if multiple people are giving you the same issue, the issue isn’t likely them. It’s something else in the environment. People are so varied personality wise and if the majority of people working with you have a bad attitude there is more likely something deeper going on.

I am so thankful that my fiancé and I were in a position that we could afford for me to step down as a SSV a few months ago. The baristas at my store never listened to any of the SSV’s and would straight up tell us no when we’d ask them to do something. Also would start fights with customers…”I took your order I know you said whipped cream not with cream” as an example. New management has completely changed that and it’s much better but ya it sucks pretty much being bullied by the baristas.

Starbucks in general imo attracts a lot of entitled workers

I think it’s a generation issue. Gen Z seems to be producing a lot of entitled brats who are entering the workforce

cus a lot of baristas are young people who feel all high and mighty about themselves bc they work in a coffee shop :/

Lmao looking at the past things you posted and your view on “gen z” I kinda don’t believe half the shit you say now. You’ve posted a good bit of stuff just shitting on other baristas and playing the victim. I don’t think it’s just them but it’s the store overall.

It’s not “bratty” or “entitlement” it’s “if you don’t treat me with respect I won’t treat you with it”.

I don’t think you’re respecting them. I don’t think you respect them. Period. I think (you’re an SSV right?) you might have this high and mighty attitude that will piss people off (I have 3 at my store who are HATED for that reason). The SSV’s who act like they’re ok our level as a barista run the floor better and have better relations with us. When we work as a team where everyone is on the same level, it works better.

You’re out here saying “omg im so worried bout gen z they’re gonna be entitled brats working for us in the future :(((((“ is so fucked up honestly when gen z at my store are the hardest workers and could run the store better than the older SSV’s and even my store manager (I was born in 2000 so i don’t even know what I am anymore tbh).

It’s condescending an really arrogant honestly. You’re vibes are off and we can all tell. That’s prob why they aren’t nice to you or nasty with you. Hell I wouldn’t even talk to someone outside of basic questions and hey/goodbye because I ain’t trynna ruin my day.

Just a thought. Idc if anyone downvotes I’m just putting my perspective in cuz you’ve posted so much about other baristas but never took the time to look at maayyybbeee when all these other baristas are going at you, it might just be something you’re doing as well.
