how long did it take for you to be cool and friends with coworkers? i been there for 1 months i can’t seem to make friends / talk to anyone unrelated to work. i feel like they don’t want me to talk to them& they always ignore me when i ask an question or need help with something (self.starbucksbaristas)

I honestly think it depends on the store.
My first store was incredibly cliquey and I never fit in or made friends and I was there for a year. However my last two locations I made pretty down to earth friendships pretty quickly, some people it took a bit for them to warm up but others it was instant friendship.
Don’t give up! Try to ask some non-work related questions - like if they’re in school, what their major is, if they like any interests that you might have, maybe talk about food and ask for recommendations and go from there!

like others said it really depends on the store. I didn’t start making actual friends (ie not just working acquaintances) until I switched to closing and even then it took me 2 months to actually become friends with my coworkers. We would just make smalltalk during slow times and eventually it evolved into talking about all kinds of shit. you just have to find people with similar interests and from there try to start conversations

took me 2-3 months to really get comfortable with everyone

A while. It takes time

I think maybe four or five months. I've been working for a little more than two months and everybody is very nice to me but I'm sure none of them would hang out with me after work/on a day off.
Thought I think that's more because we don't know each other that much.
I'm really sorry they're ignoring you and being so rude, I really hope they quite that shitty behavior. The work is stressful enough and you shouldn't have to worry about your partners being assholes.
I hope all is well soon🌟

It definitely took me a few months! I’ve been here almost 4 months now and my coworkers just recently invited me to hang out with them outside of work.

I have a friend who’s a former partner and she told me that it definitely takes time because of the high turnover rate at Starbucks. With people coming and going so fast, you can’t really make friends with people til some time goes by because they could leave just as soon as they came

About 2-3 months. I don’t consider them friends per se, but we get along for the most part. It makes the shifts more enjoyable
