Slavebucks/Starfuckers Part 2 |

My last job was laid back. When someone fucked up there we either had each others backs or covered it up and then were told how we were supposed to do something, especially if we weren't told otherwise.

One point was to never make the other person look like a dumbass and embarrass the flying shit out of them.

 

I fuck up at Starbucks? I'm the mother fucking scape goat. I really hate those fucking customers that say they want something and don't bother telling you till the drink is served to them.

 

When the customers decides to be bitchasses like that I get the blame for everything. And I always say the order back to the customer to confirm that's the drink they want. They even nod their head and say yes! Then they go and complain about their fucking drink and it all comes back to me.

 

Even if theres new hires I still get the blame for every fucking mistake made. Even when I didn't even take that customers fucking order. I can't say anything about it all because really people only believe what they want to believe.

The more I started working at starbucks the more I started to hate it. And that's saying a lot since this only happened during a two week period. Life sucks when you pretty much just DREAD going to work each day. FEAR putting up with the bullshit just because you know there's nothing you can do about it no matter how much someone pisses you off.

I was in a really good situation though. I started to fucking hate working at starbucks. Getting yelled at for stupid shit, my intelligence being constantly insulted just because I didn't transform into an experienced barista the moment i put on that fucking green apron, and it just always seemed okay for me to be publicly humiliated in front of the customers. Oh there's a fuck up? Don't worry, Pinky did it! *points fingers at me* It's all her fault!

While I was being insulted periodically people from the old job I used to work at would stop by. One of my bosses from my old job stopped by one day while I was getting bitched at by one of my bosses from Starbucks and even said out loud that my old job was hiring again and they'd put in my application for me again if I wanted to come back. You're damn right I said "hell yes! take me! take me!" the moment he asked if I wanted to come back. Fuck I was talking about leaving my job in front of my fucking supervisor but thanks to people at starbucks only wanting to see me as a loser wannabe barista that does nothing but get in a way and must have a shitty lonely life because I suck as a barista and probably don't know anyone else because I'm such a loser barista those words just passed both ears and she didn't even notice.

I was having such a hard time at starbucks putting up with all the cattiness but I thought maybe I could try working two jobs by working here and going back to my old job. I then thought of quitting in a month. I then started thinking of quittng in two weeks. And as you all know it got so bad that I just quit in the middle of the fucking work week. I'm glad I had that option. Otherwise I'd still be stuck at starbucks putting up with the bullshit there.

I'm glad that I already had another job lined up. One where I actually get treated like a fucking human being. I used to stop by my old job after work everyday and I still felt welcome there. At Starbucks I never really felt welcome. I tried to be as nice and friendly as I can (because if I'm going to work with people I'm going to see every fucking day might as well make it easier on myself instead of acting like a retarded bitch for no reason. Its not as if I was going to hang out with these people off duty) but that didn't really work.

 

Once again I'm glad I had another job lined up or else I would've been stuck at starbucks letting myself get insulted on a daily basis while trying to look for another job to get OUT. I would've been like millions of other people stuck getting the smackdown on them on a daily basis like I did. And a great deal of these people are innocent and haven't done jack shit to piss off anyone. We all just came to starbucks to learn but training at starbucks just seems nonexistent.

Seriously for a moment I thought it was only me going through this shit till I read up I Hate Starbucks and found several people that had similar if not worst experiences than I had with Starbucks.

On top of putting up with bitchass partners the workload that Starbucks expected out of one person was fucking ridiculous. They expect each and every single partner there to be able to work five jobs in one. Fuck that's got to be better than outsourcing jobs since starbucks partners work minimum wage. I actually made more than the average partner out there ($9.23...others only get paid around the 5-8 dollar range.) What did they expect us to be in one?

Barista: This is the main reason why I wanted to work at Starbucks. It seems fun if you ever get to learn how to make the drinks. If you're new and don't know a damn thing about coffee that's tough shit for you though.

Hostess: Wow really? You want me to be a fucking hostess so I can make customers feel as if Starbucks is their third place to be at between home and work? Fuck you. Hostesses make a lot of fucking money and I'm not going to bend my back backwards just so I can act as if every customer that walks in is my friend.

Really its stupid how I'm required to start a conversation with people while I'm on the cashier trying to get their order and trying to clear out a line of 50 people. If you're going to make me start conversations with people I should at least be doing that with a setting where I can at least be polite enough to not have to shove the customers off when I ask how their day is while I'm trying to clear out the line.

I do understand that there are some lonely people out there that do come to places to talk with the employees (like my old job) but damn don't get fucking angry at me for not starting a ten minute convo with someone when there's thirty people behind the person.

Janitor: I had no idea I had to take part in being a janitor. Really if I wanted to be a janitor I would've. They make more money than us dipshits and they only have to do what they get paid for. Being a janitor. I imagine its even worse for people that work in their own stores where they have to scrub toilets and literally clean up shit while also handing out frappucinos to others. Yes just imagine how disgusting that is. While I was replacing the trash cans I've had that disgusting shit spill all over me but I still had to get orders ready. I of course cleaned my hands before preparing drinks but still the thought of that is disgusting.

Dishpig: Another "Wow this wasn't on the application!" situation. Another "fuck if I wanted to be a dishpig I would've applied to be one, they get make more than us bitch ass baristas!"

Cashier: I have no problem with being a cashier while being a barista (that kind of multi tasking helps) but on top of all that other shit - it gets hectic. Like nothing is like getting bitched at for not cleaning a mess because I wanted to attend to a customer first like any other normal person would've done. Is a customer really going to give a shit that coffee beans spilled on the side when all they want is their drink?

(optional)

Scapegoat: I guess at Starbucks its normal to single out someone and have someone to blame when things fuck up. And on top of all the other jobs I had to do it was amazing how I got bitched out for so much unreasonable shit. Like not cleaning the dishes when I was cleaning up the lobby. Or not replenishing the cups when they ran out because I was making a drink. Or for fuck's sake not greeting a customer while I was taking out the trash. You really want me to stop and start convo with a customer when I have my hands behind a cart of trash. ...You think they'd want to talk to me?
