Basically the title… lol. I put in my week’s notice today (Starbucks) and holy moly I feel so much lighter. This job was taking such a toll on me, mentally and physically. 15 years of food/customer service and I’m done.
Slightly scared, but I have been interviewing for jobs that I’m better suited for. No more loud, jarring noises that trigger emotional responses, rude customers or being scared going to my car when it’s dark out, and ffs I can’t even describe the sheer joy I felt when I realized I didn’t have to be “on” and happy all the time anymore!!
I’M FREE!!
*Also, shoutout to random Redditors on this sub and others that have helped me with oddities on my resume. “Lie through your teeth… they’ll never know” is such good advice!
