Why are white girls the ones stereotyped as the Starbucks obsessed when in reality it’s entitled old people. I see 90% older folk everyday and they are so rude. They get so upset when you aren’t the perfect robot or make any mistake as if you aren’t human.
Yesterday while I was pouring a drip into the personal cup of a regular who I see almost every day I HAD to adjust the cup with my hands under the vertica because his cup was so big it was having trouble fitting and when I gave him his cup back ( yes I used the personal cup ice scooper thing )
He started being like “ you know the reason why they make you use the ( I forgot the cup holders name )right? Like you touch cash and there’s covid and stuff blah blah blah “ like literally scolding me because I had to adjust his cup with my hands for a mili second… it’s also such a fake safety net anyways because I’m literally touching cups all day regardless but I guess buddy.
They just love to make you uncomfortable

That’s basically it. I’m a very shy person and naturally speak in a higher pitch voice which can probably annoy people. I try to be nice to everyone but I feel like it gets to a point where I act so nice I look like a pushover and no one wants to talk to me. Idk what I’m doing wrong. Everyone is so friendly and jokey with each other and when I was new I was quiet but I would smile a lot because I was nervous and I may have made moments awkward here and there and now I feel like no one wants to talk to me. :( I do feel like this job is helping my social skills a lot though but my social battery gets burnt out easily so when they put me on window im usually worn out 2 hours in.
Hi I’m 19 years old and a partner who has faced documented homelessness within this past year, but I started this job in early March while I was living with a friend and her parent. Her parents are moving to the other side of the country while I’ll be stuck in the Seattle area ( very expensive ) and i honestly don’t have a solid plan what to do when they leave. They told me I have to move out by June 21, which is coming so fast. Rent is so expensive out here it’s ridiculous. I was wondering if anyone thinks the cup fund would have any potential beneficial value towards my situation?
I don’t know I’m just so lost and I don’t want to lose my job.
The only option I have standing for me is to move in with a guy I’ve been talking to since January. He said I could, but he also lives 3 hours away from my job in a very TINY town with a very DEAD Starbucks.
So my thought process is that it would be very hard to meet the 12 hour minimum weekly shifts if I were to stay with him. Then what if that relationship falls apart and I am left with no job… I am so lost!
Okay at the drive through window this old man insisted I took his empty McDonald’s trash, and I told him I can’t do that. We went back and forth for a second him basically just complaining when it’s literally against my store rules to take trash from peoples cars. Then I handed him the card reader “ 12.02 “ and he said “ no tip for you since you were difficult today “ 😂😂 what… that just annoyed me. I don’t need your 1 dollar tip anyway. All I said was “ ok I still need 12.02 from you …” and he drove off all mad. Not my fault you can’t remember to throw your own trash away.
Hi so I work at a very busy location in the Seattle area where we are held to a very high standard of creating a welcoming warm environment.
I’ve been visiting my boyfriend’s families house which is 3 hours away from Seattle in a very tiny, almost dead town. The Starbucks in this town is just so…. Off. First of all, this store is NEVER busy. So me of all people i understand baristas being stressed out by things like long lines and stuff but this store simply doesn’t get any of that, Two times in a row when I try to order at the drive through I get interrupted by the girl on dto, in a very rude manner when of course I’m a barista so i understand we all slip up sometime but i know this isn’t really anything that would fly at my location. While at the window i was telling her my partner numbers for my discount, she was very short with me and cut me off in the middle of once talking again to have me repeat myself. Idk it’s just so weird. Then I said bye have a nice day and she literally just stared at me. Makes me never want to return to this location ever again even though im literally a partner and shouldnt feel this way. I think it’s unfair how i get in trouble for failing to create a welcoming enviroment when others can be so cold. Am I wrong for wanting to complain? How are we getting paid the same when i am held to a much higher standard. Idk am I in the wrong here?? She just is so unpleasant every time I see her
