I hate weekends (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Accomplished_Past_10
I worked both weekend days last week and it was awful. It was extremely busy, and I had mobiles coming in nonstop for 4 hours. I had a never ending line. I worked only 4 hours for one shift and I thought it’d be easy since it was short, but it felt so long and stressful. I wish we got longer breaks. At least 15 minutes or 2 ten minutes on weekends for short shifts. Im exhausted. I just worked 4 days straight including the weekends and I have a day off just to go work 3 days straight. Im so tired😞

I don’t know about y’all but I swear business has been stupid lately. Like, not peak busy but like the orders have just been bigger in DT, and customers have gotten ruder, and just seeing too many fucking people for too long. It’s draining as shit, and corporate doesn’t do shit to help us. For fucks sake my DM promised us new equipment and headsets over 3 months ago and we haven’t gotten shit. So tired of this place.

Yes. Every single mobile order was so obnoxious and also a lot of orders in one. I don’t understand. I cant believe I was nonstop mobile orders for like 2 hours. Definitely traumatic lol.

My location is right by the county fair so the past two weekends have been absolutely hell, especially for a location that usually is lower traffic.
Hang in there!
Hang in there!

I feel you pain. Take care of yourself, rest up, and don't forget to treat yourself for kicking so much ass :)

I agree. I open Thursday and Friday and close Saturday and Sunday and it’s so so stressful.

i have myself as unavailable on saturdays for this reason. i usually work sundays, but working both weekends is so exhausting. lots of big orders in DT and big delivery/mobile orders, especially on saturdays in my area. not for me
