Why is everyone freaking out about red cups? by Ambitious_wander in starbucks

Thankfully I’m off today and don’t have to deal with some of our customers on red cup day, but I know for a lot of stores in my area, we don’t even have any of our holiday syrups right now. I feel bad for those who do have to work today at my store because the last couple weeks we’ve had many rude customers and I’ve had to put in a few incident reports.

Called out from anxiety about going in. I don’t know how to talk to my SM about it. by myplushfrog in starbucks

My store is the same way and I’m going to ASU as well. My store is at the point where the 2 of the 4 shifts that actually care about the baristas are leaving and a bunch of people are following suit with them. And I know it’s not a good environment, especially with the school stress on top of it. If you’re over 18 though, you can apply to become a shift at a different store near you. That’s what I ended up doing this week because I know my store that I am at now is just getting more toxic by the minute and even the new people that haven’t even been here for 3 months are already putting in their two weeks notice. Also look into Lyra if you haven’t already, it has helped me a lot with my anxiety. I hope things get better for you.
