The same schedule everyday? Something I could only dream of.
darkwolf523 28 points 8m ago
I’m basically the main closer at mine. My main hatred is dealing with kids 😭

ikr 😭

I loved being main opener at my old store. My work bestie was usually mid so from 730-12 were the best parts of my day.
inightmareahighway 89 points 8m ago
that is legitimately the BEST SHIFT. i love love love opening omg- i'm still in high school and i have availability in the mornings before school (i have another job after school) so i'll be scheduled 4:30-7:30 occasionally and then i go to school after,, literally the best
duckenjoyer69 22 points 8m ago
wow that's really impressive
inightmareahighway 12 points 8m ago
it's actually amazing lol i'm out right as it gets busy - i do feel guilty leaving them right in the middle but bro i gotta get to health class
duckenjoyer69 6 points 8m ago
😂 I envy your passion
AdamAce3 57 points 8m ago
This was me over the summer 😅😭 i didn’t mind it tho bc u get the whole rest of the day
Atzo02 13 points 8m ago
But feeling tired by 9PM ain’t fun lol
saddestgirl1995 38 points 8m ago
Opening is the bomb, your SM must really like you!!
father_musser 21 points 8m ago
I had this schedule but as a closer 😭😭 M-F 11:30-8 was so so so nice until the openers started getting lazy and leaving me with majority of their tasks to finish up 😔😔
miniinovaa 2 points 8m ago
My closets/kids refuse to come in before 10 am and complain when stuff isn’t done at 10… like we JUST had peak bro
Ajskdjurj 2 points 8m ago
I work 4 days a week and I’m the main closer. I’m trying to let my SM let me open at least one day a week.
father_musser 3 points 8m ago
I’ve been asking mine to switch me back to openings for WEEKS. you would think with 7 SSV’s it wouldn’t feel like pulling teeth but holy moly.
andersonm499 2 points 8m ago
7!!
father_musser 2 points 8m ago
and they want to push us to 8 SSV’s so we have better work / life balance and don’t have to adjust hours if anything happens
andersonm499 1 points 8m ago
We have 4 (and a asm who leads shifts when needed ) and we are the busiest store in the district. With between 10-12 thousand dollar days. Id be happy with 5 shifts just so we had a little wiggle room with sick and vacations
Ajskdjurj 2 points 8m ago
We only have 3 lol.
iStealSharpies 18 points 8m ago
My actual dream schedule but my SM is a jerk
Accomplished_Eye_240 17 points 8m ago
It's always best when you're the favorite 🥰 or one of the favorites
Atakaii [OP] 20 points 8m ago
everyone one is mad i’m get favorite but i’m only her favorite cause i’m great at my job and worked for it. i was a sm at a different company before and started as a main closer and worked my way up. after working mornings for 3 months we were number one of OTW for peak and Highest connections in the area 🤭🤭
Bright_Step1260 12 points 8m ago
this is so strange because i thought this was sarcastic -a closer
FrustratingBears 1 points 8m ago
same -also a closer
butterflymomo 6 points 8m ago
words can't describe how JEALOUS i am rn
Atakaii [OP] 4 points 8m ago
i worked hard for it 😘
fredforthered 5 points 8m ago
Dream shift! Give your SM a lovely card if that’s still a thing. I used to do 4-9am when I was in college and it was the best. My school load was too heavy at the time to do more.
Kristina-Louise 4 points 8m ago
Yes!!! My non-Starbucks friends are floored that I like 4am shifts, but they’re literally the best. Amazing schedule
canidieyet_ 1 points 8m ago
I wish I lived close enough to work to open 😭 I live 30 mins away which isn’t crazy, but I’d have to be awake by 3 😭
neighborhoodswamphag 3 points 8m ago
And I hate the both of you lol
jupiter_bug 3 points 8m ago
I used to love opening if it was with the shifts I liked (which was almost all of them lol) but having to get up that early everyday can be exhausting to the point that naps in the afternoon don't do shit 😭
diphenhydranautical 3 points 8m ago
WOW this is beautiful. i just switched my availability to strictly opening and my hours nearly doubled. i’ve been begging for enough hours to pay my bills for MONTHS, and i’m so excited to start opening only… our morning crew is so cool! and it’s the best shift!
Alternative-Crew-229 3 points 8m ago
I wish.
idkcassie 2 points 8m ago
about to come back as an opening ssv, used to be the main opening barista 😫🤌 this is the BEST SHIFT.
mrzygb 2 points 8m ago
good hours AND opening? 😫 the dream
grahammygrahams 2 points 8m ago
Lol wait this was the normal for me is this rare?
Chromosomes23 1 points 8m ago
I’m thinking the same thing
Pylon-Cam 2 points 8m ago
Coming in at 4 am every day would be absolutely brutal…glad I never got a schedule like that!
Starbucks-sm 2 points 8m ago
I loved that schedule. If I hadn't had kids, I could've had a whole second job and been balling. 😂

butterbuttercupcup 1 points 8m ago

Atakaii [OP] 1 points 8m ago
yes sir
butterbuttercupcup 2 points 8m ago
Wow that is crazy here I’m tripped about working at 6 am 🥲
jareddlol 1 points 8m ago
I have only ever closed and I’ve generally enjoyed it depending on who I work with, what makes opening so nice?
11corkie11 1 points 8m ago
oh I am drooling
Gameb0i6 1 points 8m ago
Must be fuckin nice
South-Anything1269 1 points 8m ago
I LITERALLY JUST HAD THIS EXACT SCHEDULE 😂
thestoneethude 1 points 8m ago
that’s how my schedule looks for the next two weeks and i’m thrilled! but i am also the main opening barista for my store. open every single day.
eeeeeeeeeveeeeeeeee 1 points 8m ago
W + consistent schedule + decent hours. I fuckin wish
pnaswoo 1 points 8m ago
omg i work 5am to 1pm everyday with wednesdays and sundays (my preferred days) off and i love it. i don’t get it because i’m the managers favorite i get it bc im the only shift with daily,
good, opening availability at my store LOL
ljoyp 1 points 8m ago
I’m jealous
SleepySimmer 1 points 8m ago
absolutely delicious scheduling 😍
stoneylizzard 1 points 8m ago
i got scheduled 4.50 hours for the next two weeks and im one of the longest tenured partners at my store :)
Hazel_is_Trans 1 points 8m ago
Pain I can't work three 8 hour shift back to back without having to have a panic attack
marilynmansonsbitch 1 points 8m ago
fr my brain wants to work this much but the old beaten rusty cog machine that is my body cannot keep up
Hazel_is_Trans 1 points 8m ago
Gotta think of the money
Newbarista-nerd 1 points 8m ago
I aspire.. 😭 I hope I can get to this level!
clumsysilencee 1 points 8m ago
Good SMs >>>>>>>> 🥹 love this for you bestie
MatchingColors 1 points 8m ago
I also open all days I work and I too love it
YslMarco -4 points 8m ago
They prolly smashing ima have to call ur dm
Atakaii [OP] 6 points 8m ago
bruh the image of that ruins me 🤮
neilgreenbreen -3 points 8m ago
I would end it right then and there
Torirock10 7 points 8m ago
why? for being able to work consistent hours and having a weekend off? 💀
neilgreenbreen 10 points 8m ago
Opening five days a week is honestly my worst nightmare. The consistency is nice but I can’t keep going to bed at 8 PM 😭😭😭
Atakaii [OP] 3 points 8m ago
i sleep at 10 and take a quick 2 hour nap after work and an up by 2
Torirock10 3 points 8m ago
yeah that is true but tbh i’d rather open a bunch and be able to have free time later rather than close every single day. but i agree they can both be draining
