Honestly? Not good. Why is it that during the Holidays that customers are so f-info mean? And they get personal with it too. I just hope it eases up soon 😔

Straight up depressed dreading my next two shifts. I feel like I’m invisible and no one offers me the same amount of support and we’re going to be so busy 😭

I’m so tired of getting yelled at. We ran out of the holiday print on our grandes and ventis. It’s been a riot

I’m so fucking over the holidays lol. We’re out of so much product and cups, and our manager is on our ass about over using labor but we’re busting ass to keep up with the customers so I feel like our hard work isn’t noticed at all. I just want it to be next year already.

This month is hard. I lost my brother to suicide right after Christmas last year. I forgot to request off the anniversary of his death and now I’m unsure if I’ll end up breaking down crying on that day or not. I might be just fine, maybe working that day will be what I need. I feel like I’m just being a baby and should just suck it up and pretend everything is ok. Haven’t even done his memorial yet… Sorry I was too much here.. but that’s where I’m at…

I’m a green bean so it’s been difficult… trying my very best but still feel like I doing terribly. Thankfully my coworkers are pleasant and really don’t mind me asking a million questions but yeah. Customers especially regulars can be so incredibly mean and hot bar can be so stressful and overwhelming bc I don’t remember all the pumps of syrups and shots… hopefully things get better w time bc honestly I dread going in to every shift.

The vibes have been off

Oh God it's not going good bestie!😂

Fucking terrible but thanks for asking 🙂

My mental health has been absolutely awful but it's not even because of work. In fact, work is my safe place rn. So glad I have this job

ngl ive felt pretty burnt out lately. i clock in and count down the minutes until i can go home bc i only work 4 hour shifts and it feels like a waste of time to go in 5 days a week for only 4-4.5 hours. all of my regulars are so so nice and i love seeing all of them but god i’d be lying if i said i wasn’t tired of trying to fight for hours all the time

I have one shift this week and it is 4 hours long baybe. Cannot wait to use my sick time so I can pay ~reeeent~

Horrid. Doing training to become a shift when even our shifts right now are stressed out and being under constant criticism from my manager has made work a living nightmare. We're constantly understaffed because of the labor shit, even encouraged to send people home early when we literally can't because we're scrambling every day to even make drinks and send food out let alone prep or do closing tasks or clean. We're one of the busiest stores in the district and somehow we're one of the only ones who haven't gotten a store remodel when we severely need it, no one listens to us whatsoever, and on top of everything customers have been absolutely fucking rancid. My mental health is at a very low point and even my medications can't handle the amount of constant stress I am under.

I've been so tired and just not good lately. Customers are being so mean and it's nonstop. Thanks to the peppermint outage I've been screamed at every single day this week like it's my fault.

Started on November 10th, and I'm in the busiest store in my state. I dread going into work but I'm doing it for the free degree tbh. I feel like I didn't get nearly enough training especially for hotbar (why do the teas and matcha confuse me so much?) And whenever they put me on hotbar for drive thru I wanna cry and I feel like I'm guessing so much and I'm asking so many questions but some of my partners get annoyed even though I had like 5 days of training and the customers have been so mean and memorizing holiday drinks is aggh

I’m not doing good. I feel extremely hopeless and exhausted.

currently off ill due to burnout to the point where I'm physically sick. the idea of going back in makes me miserable. I can't take the stupidity and entitlement of customers anymore

Could be way better. My store has had to cut everyone’s how’s I went from 38hours a week -15 hours in span of two weeks. I’ve already picked up another job and stressed about Christmas let alone everyone els in my store is stressed and depressed. Let alone the customers are on something. Screaming over a 6 min wait for 4 drinks. During peak. I’m over it

No :)

Ngl my mental health gotten bad but Im a smoker and drinker.

I worked 12.5 hours yesterday so not great. 😞

I basically almost had a mental break yesterday but I’m much better today,it feels like my store gets busier and busier each day

Not good. I am having my disability flaring up from trying to balance work (I have 2 jobs with 1 being a performing job), gifts, chores, and trying to find time for resting. My store is actually okay atm but some customers are very mean to me (I’m usually up front) for our store being out of certain things & I wish I a could change things. It sucks. 😔

Honestly, I am getting whiplash every time I go to work. One second a customer will compliment me and then the next one will be yelling at me. I'm not even joking, someone today yelled at me in DT "GET ME SRIRICHA!!"

Same with my coworkers. 1/2 of my coworkers are cool and 1/4 I would say I am good friends with and get excited when i see we have the same shift. The other 1/4 either a)does absolutely nothing and slacks off while the rest of us are running around doing stuff or b)doesn't know how to communicate with the rest of the team, leaving me VERY stressed. One particular coworker gets on my case for little things (like batch blending 2 frapps in an 11 drink order) and when she is trying to find where someone is in line, instead of using the app she just pulls all of my stickers and leaves me with like a 20 sticker line on my bar and then no one helps me make ANY of them and actually ask me to help make THEIR drinks. I do it because I understand it is stressful, and I don't wanna be selfish but it seems like no one cares abt how I feel.

It is a well known fact from my coworkers and manager that I have GAD, on and off depression, and possible PTSD.
Most of my managers (both shift and store) understand that when I am not having a good mental health day, there are certain tasks that are very hard for me to do (ex, if I'm having a bad PTSD day they won't put in a position where I have to deal with customers) but then there are a few who don't seem to care and then I end up having a major panic attack from which my close coworkers have to help calm me down from.

God this was a big rant
