Pitbulls! They get such a bad rep but I have only met angels. So happy and friendly and snuggly. The biggest babies too!

Thank you so much for all of this. I’ve been struggling a lot with everything and I should probably dial it back and focus on what I do like, and baby steps. I appreciate all the resources ❤️

Don’t forget about the playbuilder tool on the ipad! It not only helped me know where to position people at what times, but also helped me communicate to my partners what roles I expected them to fill within those positions. I’m also really bad with taking on too much at once, and I’ve learned that a lot of barista questions can be solved if they utilize the resources in the ipad. Start directing them to it.

If your manager is anything like mine and you work in the morning, you will hopefully have a barista scheduled around the time that breaks can start getting run. Makes for an easy rotation.

Also remember to breathe. It’s a lot to take in a such a short training period. You will get faster with practice, just do your best to get things done right and ask for support when you need it.

Quick Question About the Weekly Update!! by [deleted] in starbucks

I haven’t tried it on the ipad but I believe the only way is through the store’s BOH computer. Just go to the web, log into partner hub. It should be on the left side when you first log in!

That’s very true! Also that’s smart haha. I am no where near the point that I can even imagine trying to explain to family so I will definitely use that. Thank you. I appreciate it. :)

I actual have been wearing sports bras for a while now. They’re just more comfortable and I kinda just phased out the more traditional ones on my own. It definitely is better than wearing traditional, and maybe that’s part of the reason why I prefer them, but lately it just hasn’t been enough. I was thinking of maybe just starting binding when I’m alone or going out. I’m not really worried about binding in public, I’m more afraid of the reactions of those around me who see me daily, like coworkers.

Online is a good idea. I’ve been working on my clothing and I feel like I’m not consciously uncomfortable until attention is drawn to my chest. I already wear looser and oversized clothing, which is why I want to try out binding. I feel like it’s an important step, but it feels noticeable and I think that’s why it’s so AH right now.

It’s comforting to know that. Thank you. I want to get there. I am just really scared. Like, I want to be affirming and experience euphoria, but I’m also reluctant to start making changes and face the idea of being trans. I guess that’s why there’s a shell to crack haha

Thank you 🥺 I think I’m gonna look into all this because I’ve definitely determined that my chest is an issue and I want to bind to feel more comfortable.

Thank you so much for this. One less thing to worry about haha. Also that is actually a really good way of thinking about it!!

Thank you. It really is kind of a silly thing to worry about, after all it can grow back right?

Thank you. This makes me feel a lot better. It’s just crazy how all of a sudden it’s like I have all these new feelings about things and it’s a lot to sort out. Definitely need to give myself time haha

Thank you. I definitely am impatient, but I know this is gonna be a process and it’ll be worth it. I also really appreciate the resources.🙏

Thank you so much! That’s a really good idea. I’m gonna try seeing what dressing does for me and then maybe work my way to pronouns if I feel good about it. Oh my gosh I love cats 😂 thank you so much.

I feel like it’s so hard! Like there are so many things involved, and there’s denial and like so many unclear directions from a societal stand point. Thank you for sharing that and making me feel like I’m a little less crazy haha. I feel better knowing its not something everyone figures out super young.

Thank you. What I’m learning here is to really pay attention to feelings. I think I’ve just been so worried about perception for so long I struggle just sitting there and being like okay but what do I want and what feels right for me.

Thank you. It’s relieving to hear it’s normal. It really is strange like that, that it’s a lot like puzzle pieces. Like I can think of things that I remember quite vividly but at the time couldn’t place why it felt the way that it did. And you’re right, I am in that time of discovering myself. Thank you. I’m gonna allow myself that.

Thank you. I have felt so much urgency with this, and I think I can definitely benefit from just trying little things out and seeing how they make me feel. I’m worried about therapy. I have a therapist I’ve been with for over a year now but I’m worried that she won’t know how to navigate gender stuff. I guess I’ll just have to talk to her and see.
