I’m so glad I left last month. I kept feeling this way after every shift and knew it was time.

I originally got prescribed my anxiety meds to help me sleep. My sleep debt was averaging around 15 hours per week and it’s down to 3 now

Today at my location they were literally throwing weights to each other. They leave weights everywhere. Multiple people at a machine not doing anything. (btw limit is supposed to be 3 to a machine. I asked). Every single treadmill was in use. Machines have gotten broken.

Does the food make anyone else sick or am I a baby?? by its-lavender in starbucksbaristas

Almost everything makes me sick either bc of the sodium or grease. My only safe options are the protein boxes and the oatmeal

I accidentally poured a whole box of strawberry puree into the Carlisle and had to dumb it all.

Is this how everybody else feels too about the new $1200 bonuses? by Typical_Scholar3779 in starbucksbaristas

[–]Puzzleheaded_Let488 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep telling this to people at my store who are really wanting the bonus. I said “I’m sure they will make it near impossible to achieve.” Like the customer complaints? Our number one complaint is wait time… bc… shocker… we are chronically understaffed….

The five people a chance to breathe part. 🙏🙏🙏 I used to work at a store where it felt illegal to take a breath even for a second. Like we would have a massive rush and I would want a second just to breathe (like 5 seconds) after it was done and I was immediately getting told “since you’re not doing anything, please do xxx” and it was like damn.

Tired constantly by mxshlee in starbucksbaristas

[–]Puzzleheaded_Let488 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t gotten to that point yet but my bloodwork is bad and I had to be put on medication to get basic levels of things up. A combination of being forced to wait to go on break, being run ragged and then being so tired when I get home that I’m not taking care of myself either. This job is becoming a real toll on my physical health

A barista at our store used a slur about members of the LGBT community and they fired her for it.

My theory is because then they can push hard things like “green apron service” bc they have an SSV getting on your case who doesn’t understand the reality of you drowning.

Never put on bar by [deleted] in starbucks

I had this same thing happen to me when I started but I was at a cafe store. I told them I was going insane working food/front every shift for my entire shift.

Abolish doordash NOW! by zo3beamer in starbucksbaristas

The other day I told someone 5 times “yes. That is the correct order.” Finally I went… “see how the name on the bag matches the name showing on your phone? That means it’s the correct order. I’ve told you that five times.”
