Starbucks outright isn’t a great company to work for, $15 an hour isnt mush especially in my area, and a lot of kids younger than me make more than me right now and i no longer work there. Even worse, if you work at a Target Starbucks you can’t get tips because it’s “unfair” to other employees, even though my job as a barista is 3x harder than standing at a check stand all day scanning stuff. That’s a contract between the two companies. Also, it’s very probable to have a boss that doesn’t like you and can pretty much do anything they can to get you fired. I was reported over the most stupid stuff like “being in someone’s way” while doing cleaning tasks. it’s a one ass kitchen they’ve got us working in to be fair but whatever. Once we got a new boss lots of people left and i stayed long enough to be scheduled a closing shift 5 nights a week. we were so understaffed people left after 5pm and i had to close by myself every night. trying to close a coffee shop inside a grocery store is hard , plus we stayed open an hour later than other places so EVERYONE came here. I got reported by a karen for a customer for closing down to go on lunch (like i was told to do) but they wanted me to wait till the end of my shift to take a break after that. and at that point i will skip a break just to go home early. having a place close at 8 pm and having the only night shift employee leave at 11 pm is insane. they ended up trying to find a way to fire me but i just quit because i truly felt like i was being take advantage of. if you’ve worked as a barista before you would know there’s a lot to do and the messes are pretty bad.
