my bad memory makes things at work more difficult (self.starbucksbaristas)

very irrelevant rant

i have worked at starbucks on and off for over 4 years and i've had to look up recipes for standard drinks. i absolutely hate it, and no one understand how bad my memory actually is. my disability has taken a lot of my memory and it's humiliating to forget something i've been doing for years. it makes me look so stupid and there's no way to explain to my fellow partners. it's caused me to question things that i *know* im doing right and its beyond frustrating

I'm in the same boat. Just walk over and check the recipe. I've had multiple concussions and have a degenerative disease, if people judge you for that.. they're jerks. You already have the weight of having a disability; don't make yourself carry the burden of worrying about what people think.

I’m sorry, that must be really difficult 😔 my sister has memory issues and brain fog due to an unknown medical condition. She got a job at my store for about 6 months and I know it was pretty hard for her to learn everything. She was mostly just on pos or dt. And it’s hard trying to work with others when they don’t understand your condition.

I completely understand. I have some kind of neurological disorder yet to be determined. My memory is toast. So I asked to be put on DTO/DTR all of the time before I had to go on medical leave and then had to resign because I became too ill. My SM still got upset with me because I couldn't take orders and memorize them while I was running back and forth from the ovens because I was always solo. She even had the balls to announce to everyone, even the customers at the window, that I was "re-training" and made me physically follow her back and forth across the floor taking orders and asking customers up to 3 times what they wanted. I was humiliated! I don't know how I just didn't quit on the spot and walk out especially since I was fortunate enough to not need the job financially. I just did my very best until I ran myself into the ground. No one wanted to work the drive thru so it worked out until I left.
