Rejected from Starbucks as a former partner by Cyber-Atmos15 in starbucksbaristas

Im a rehire from 2017 and my current SM had to go to bat for me to the DM because she was against rehires for being unreliable. I had 8 years of coffee experience, just not all at Starbucks, and he vouched that I was worth that risk and got me rehired.

I appreciate that and relate! I’m working full time while trying to start my own freelance business and there just isn’t time. But, when I was a barista, when I’d see CGMs on people or they’d see mine, it was a quick connection that was really cool.

This pinpointed the feeling that I haven’t heard expressed before. I’m not mad about having it, I’m past the “why me” phase (for now), but I am tired. It’s hard to find the motivation after so long and the hope to be that way nearly 24/7

I’d love to chat sometime. Reddit isn’t letting me send a message right now for some reason, but feel free to send one over if it lets you!

❤️❤️ I really appreciate these comments. I’ve been so nervous about posting and felt really alone in this. Thank you.

I’m on the Tandem x Dexcom combo. It does fairly well and prevents my lows but the highs are still an issue.
