so, i’ve been asking to be a trainer for a while. i’m good at being a barista. i’ve been 30+ hrs the entire time i’ve been at my store, picked up at other stores, and overall a very well rounded barista. i get compliments from customers and constantly am told i do a really good job at the store. despite all this, my manager won’t let me be a barista trainer ?? we’ve gotten quite a few new people and they’ve been trained at other stores or trained by our new barista trainer. this trainer left starbucks for over a year and just came back and was able to be a barista trainer without going through the barista training again herself?? i genuinely don’t understand. i’m beyond frustrated. just a vent.
