Still bad on bar… (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Nearby-Philosophy-25
So I’ve been with the ‘bux since January and I’m normally on solo DT, but lately my Shifts have been putting me on solo bar for like an hour between 3-close each day. I’m still pretty bad at sequencing especially between hot and cold. Today I’ve been on bar since 2 and it’s been so busy bc of homecoming, football games, etc and I’ve almost cried a few times. I’m at a medium-traffic DT/Cafe store and we usually see mini-peaks in the afternoon. I’m sure it’s mostly from stress outside of work but I’m feeling kind of hopeless since I’m so slow. Anybody else feeling the barista imposter syndrome??

Also rejoined sbux in January after 10plus years working elsewhere. I’d say something to a shift you like/trust. That’s what I did. I went to them and was like listen I know I’m slow and I suck. Can you please give me more bar time. You just have to practice. It comes with practice not time. I get so upset when shifts keep the “newbies” on positions like DT and don’t allow for bar time.

My SSVs are being really mean to me about it. Unfortunately I'm moderately slow, and since we're a 70k-80k a week store they haven't been very forgiving. It's been one month, I wish they would give me a break. Especially during peak bar can be so overwhelming
