No we don't talk anymore which I don't mind, but hey it's like making friends in school classes. They'll come and go and were great at the time. I did learn they all hung out after work without me and I was left out of the work group chat until I had not-so-subtly said I wanted in so that kinda hurt.

I’m close friends with a few of my coworkers but we don’t gossip or try to spread drama. Even if we weren’t friends we have a civil relationship and would be able to work together. The people that I know are a little more drama, I just talk to only at work and keep it like that

be friends with co workers who respect you and boundaries and also can joke around with. you see if it’s only because you’re co workers or if you guys have a genuine connection as friends. don’t befriend people who are drama and make gossip. befriend who you actually enjoy being around with

Both stores I had a good bond with my partners. I don’t think I would’ve been able to do it otherwise.

all my coworkers hang out without me. they all make party plans in front of me. some of them call me their friend but, never invited. its really frustrating bc if i mention it they go "noo we all barely hang out! i dont talk to anyone outside work tbh just one or two people! i honestly dont like working with friends it's annoying ://"

Some of my coworkers bullied me for months when I started. I just didn't take it personally, kept a good attitude, and continued treating them like they were my friends no matter how rude they were, and they eventually stopped and became my friends

yeah, i met a few of my close friends through the bucks. mostly because we all work the same shifts a lot of the time and have a lot in common. i definitely think it can lead to drama which i've experienced but ultimately its been a positive imo

we’re definitely friends in the sense that we hang out outside of work, there’s like 17 people at our store but we always invite as many as we can. we don’t hang out TOO often and when we do it’s to go out for brunch or coffee, we mostly talk about work/customers or just our likes and hobbies! it’s hard to explain because we all like eachother and hang out outside of work as a group, quite a few of us knew eachother before we started working together too so the friendship was there first. however, the hang outs are always as a group and never one on one or anything. we definitely keep it fun and appropriate and none of us gossip or talk about much of our personal lives in too much detail to help keep that separation.

i’m friends with people I work most with and get along with. if we don’t work often idk them very well, and some people I don’t click with or are rude 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s like school, you’ll like some classmates and not others. maybe I wouldn’t befriend so many coworkers if I had more friends outside of work but I haven’t really met people I liked as much as my coworkers at this job. i’m also still friends with some old coworkers too.

I’ve met some amazing friends through working at starbs and years later we are still friends, it really just depends on the person.

It’s so weird how dynamics differ from store to store. I had one where we literally ALL were friends. Like one big family. Everyone had a special nickname and everything (Me and my work bestie, both SSVs, were Mom and Dad to everyone else but I was Sir to him and he was my Princess 😂) we would hang out outside of work, even threw a few parties. And then when I transferred to a new store l, everyone was divided into cliques and it made maintaining an overall positive morale amongst the partners difficult. I always have the mentality of work first, friends second, but after having the positive experience of literally feeling like family, having to deal with such division was a shock.

i wouldn’t consider my coworkers to be real friends, we’re work friends, so we follow each other on SOME socials (the less personal ones) and i don’t hang out w any of them outside of work, although they make plans sometimes. a few of the partners were friends before they were hired too

I am primarily a closer, and because of that, I tend to work with the same people over and over. I try to be friendly to everyone but there is a lot of tension between some of my coworkers and other people in the store, including myself. The openers and closers kinda hate each other in general, and in both shifts there are people who cause a lot of conflict. Most of my store seems to hate each other at this point tbh lmao there's a ridiculous amount of drama. I only have one coworker I'd consider to be a close friend. It's hard to trust people in my store because you have to consider whether someone is going to try to screw you over. I don't really want to be friends with people like that lol.
