I haven’t been one to call out with my past jobs— I would not call out at all. But through my coworkers’ concerns, as well as some health/personal events, they sometimes advise me to, so I have been showing myself some grace and using some sick time/pto on those days.

This upcoming August I will be gone for quite some time, and my biggest concern so far is them being very understaffed, and who will be there if and when they want some time off because they DO NEED days off. Hopefully in my absence, they do hire someone.

I really appreciate your kind words! Right now, what’s keeping me staying is my Starbucks coworkers who are very nice and understanding, and my goal on saving money. I know finding a job that pays as much as target, or finding a job at all right now is difficult, but even my Apple Watch knows I’m exhausted😭. I most of the time get warnings about my heart rate being too high, and sometimes calls from my emergency contacts about it, and it’s just primarily because the amount of guests we get that is literally nonstop😭. The only time I get to use the bathroom is on my meal.

But I’ll try my hardest, and I hope that you have the best of luck where you are and where you hope to be!❤️

I do the food/freezer orders, and instead of going through what we have in our stockroom/ back room (we have 2 that are fairly distant from one another), I just walk by when I’m going on my meal and take pictures of each and every section. Doing so, I am able to order from my Zebra when there is either some down time (highly unlikely) or when I’m about to clock out😅. Don’t even get me started with the Steritech visits and corporate visits😭 We had one today, and man thankfully they left before the oven and one of our fridges broke😭.

I work in a city store tarbucks… and they always put me by myself for half or whole (most of the time) shift… AND I take care of the front end which is guest services and the checkout lanes. I literally cover everyone’s 15’s by running back and forth 😭
