Sorry ahead of time I have no where else to sort my thoughts!
I have a main job, and it pays slightly more and I can actually secure 8 hour shifts consistently and have 2/3 days off to reach 32-40 hours. Some weeks even overtime is approved!! And a WEEKLy paycheck. They are ready to promote me but I don’t necessarily want that YET. But soon.
Been working at Starbucks since July, and I loved it in miami, but moving to Orlando I realized the culture here is just bleh. I get 4-6 hour shifts and possibly a 9.5 hour randomly.
I tried to balance my availability to achieve 50-55 hour work weeks, and reach my goals faster. But she denied my original plan and made it earlier so its harder to get enough sleep most days.
So I been struggling.
Zero days off from both jobs the last 2 weeks…
To be fair, I only uber to Starbucks in the morning and sometimes to go home if I work at my other job soon after. But the 400 a month is cut in half by the Ubers surge prices still when I want to sleep in most days.
I don’t have to uber to my other job ever.
I love working in a coffee shop but this feels so ingenuine. It’s just a bunch of rich college kids who need their sugar espressos and refreshers who don’t tip(valid) or even acknowledge us like a person. Everyone forgot how to say please or even a thank you and just speak in phone screens being shoved out the car. They make me despise people more often in general and I do get overwhelmed more when I’m there than ever before. But I’m pretty good at my job pace tbh.
I think I’m ready to quit. It sucks but at the same time I think it’d be a relief.

I work festivals so I got a gig that’s gonna pay 750 for this weekend, on top of my other job earlier this week. BUT I can’t find coverage to get off one of my 4 HOUR shifts on time to make it one of the days. But if I call out I’d be immediately fired. But I really need their money esp since I wouldn’t be ubering at all. It’s 750. Like bruh..
I did the math and half of my Starbucks paycheck goes to Ubers. It’s really only 100-200 extra a month after. I want to pay some stuff off and save up since it’s hard out here, but idk.
Idk how to quit
The manager talked bad abt me when I overslept one day, even tho it was a really hard day in my personal life and I got off my other job late bc they were in the trenches. Had a migraine after and couldn’t sleep. But apparently I’m immature. Found that out today and it made me closer to quitting.
I care abt a select few coworkers, but I’m also down to just quit. I never went to Starbucks before working here so idk. I have 4 years and counting at my other job. But yay barista experience! Idk.
I wanna get into bartending instead at this rate. I deserve more for the work I put in, yet they wanna threaten to send me home bc I can’t find my name tag one day and traffic was so bad I was almost late but couldn’t clock in bc I didn’t have my apron fully on. So I ended up being late.
TLDR:
Idk how to grow the balls to quit, and if I call out on the day I need to be at another job I’ll get immediately fired. No one is covering it. I don’t really need this job but a little part of it is nice and fun. But letting this go would let me work more at main job. And make 100-200 less than doing both jobs a month. Which in reality isn’t crazy.
I WANAN JUST QUIT BUT IDK. It’s scary. The SM is so fake nice too.
