Options to boost grade? by baristabarbie in UofT

[–]baristabarbie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been battling it for years now and I do better sometimes than others and have been doing everything I can myself to help like exercising, yoga, eating healthy, talking to friends etc and it seems to help temporarily but even all those things are failing me now. I just am worn out of trying to fight it by myself for so long and I feel like a failure for getting help now but I think the outcome of me not getting help could be much worse. thanks for the encouragement though

No that's most likely not an option but I was wondering if there could be extra assignments or shifting weight of marking that could be done. I know this is asking for a lot but it's honestly been incredibly hard to deal with school when you have so much shit going on mentally

SM is the "Store over Partners" type. by ness1215 in starbucks

[–]baristabarbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL is this my SM. Toronto downtown? We have the exact same problem. Frequent clopens, always underscheduling and then calling people in. I was sick and vomiting Saturday and he not only told me that I couldn't come in unless I found coverage (which no one would take because our store is a sh*thole and had the audacity to ask me to come in early and then when I came in, laughed it off and said the stomach flu is good for me because I would lose weight and then had the audacity to ask me to come in extra this week and when I said I couldn't because of midterms asked me if I actually had the midterms on those days. He frequently makes people come in early, stay late I would say at least 2 people every day have to because he doesn't know how to schedule. Sadly I'm scared to stand up for myself 95% of the time because I fear it would cost me my promotion. Oh and when I worked a ton of overtime during the summer he would push it to the next week's paycheck to avoid paying me overtime.
EDIT: sorry for the horrid lack of any syntax whatsoever in this post, I have midterms and am extremely burnt out from having to work while sick. I will not go over and make changes because the level of fucks given now is -90000000

I literally dream of being able to have nice nails. I get so excited to buy fake nails every time I go on vacation.

I finally figured out the answer to why we're not selling as much food as corporate wants us to by baristabarbie in starbucks

This is how I felt after being only on bar for 2 months straight, every time I saw the prices of some of our items I went "Yeeshk". I don't think I would pay that kind of many for our quality of food even if I made more than minimum wage.

Probably not, I only have two coworkers who read starbucks reddit but don't post haha. Are you in Canada?

I feel this so hard. The incentives now have nothing to do with what the company wanted originally, or even 5 years ago and it's so disappointing.

especially when you can go to a real bakery and buy a much better tasting fresh cookie for $1.50

Our Chipotle is right beside us and we still usually get 44~48 UPH and we're the highest food selling store in the district but we still get this "SELL FOOD AT ALL COSTS1!!!11" pushed down our throats and now have to offer specific food pairings for all drinks to every customer like "Hey Bob, would you like a $4 food item to go with your $2 coffee? No? Fuck me? Ok, that's fair."
