QUIT STARBUCKS

ok so took a step back and quit the other job to go back to full time at Starbucks….but i get benefits again :D

i’ve gotten a new part time job!! which means less time to work at starbucks!!! almost there

I hate this job. It makes me feel like a failure and most of the customers are jerks and some of the staff have SERIOUS attitude…I don’t need that

I’m pretty sure I am going to quit soon. Lately I have been is such a rut/bad mood and this morning I thought it about it for a second and it is because I work at starbucks….

I also would like to quit. I work at the busiest store in Seattle, at the U Village shopping center, and it’s way too insane for me. Rich people are way to serious about their coffee…and their lives.

I’ve just had it… the repetitiveness… the pressure… the back aches… the politics. I’ve only worked there 8 months and am ready to throw in the towel. I used to love it… now, I’ve not so sure.

so i have an unusual story…i worked it corporate for about 3 years, and actually really liked it. Then I decided to move to LA to pursue my dancing and picked up SBUX as a side job for the benefits. While it is a great company, with great benefits, sotck, etc., it is seriously one of the hardest jobs, for the crappiest pay. I have another job to support myself, so really don’t think I’ll need it, but it’s hard for me to leave. The people are really nice, my sm and asm are pretty cool, but I really just don’t like it. It really isn’t as flexible as I had hoped, and I just can’t get over the pay. It’s just not worth it.

I have been working there for a year and I need to hand in my letter of resignation, but I just can’t bring myself to do it!

with myself and a bunch of the people closest to me, I had a big realization. I love my job. Yep, I do. For the first time since I left the cafe in Paris, I have work that I like. I like the people I work with, I like the regulars, I like the pay and the benefits.

I’m fucking lucky.

And yeah, they do pay me to sound that happy. Too bad I’m that happy anyhow.

only if you have a better job to go to. I starting working for a pet sitting company and realized I really need more money. So I’m going back to Starbucks. My major issue was with my horrible manager, who NEVER worked, came in in her pajamas, and scheduled people to work when they told her they couldn’t work a certain day. When I get there to close, the place is a mess, the pastries arent changed over to PM, there is old coffee in the urns, and no preps were made. But if I made one mistake closing, like leaving a spot on the menu board, I get written up. I confronted her and she said “Well it’s not just you, lots of people are getting written up, it’s not personal, its coming down on everyone” Yeah right, you aren’t getting written up you power-hungry b*$#@. So I left. 9 others gave their two week notice within 2 weeks, one just stopped coming in, and our assistant transferred. We got tons and tons of complaints, but with our old manager, we used to get perfect snapshots. It’s ridiculous. How could Starbucks not notice all this? I despise the company and almost everything about it, especially the rude customers, but I am going back. It’s the same store as my ASM, who is awesome, so I hope it is at least tolerable..
