u/Choosing-Love

I’m becoming more and more tired of the fake partners. The “If you’re not my friend, I don’t like you.” Is a smile and a “how are you?” not enough these days. Not everyone has to be your friend. I do apologize if this seems cold but I don’t have to be 100% compatible with you in order to earn your respect.

The negativity and not being compassionate with customers questions or concerns. I’ve worked more difficult jobs and trust me this is one of the easiest jobs I’ve ever had. I love everything from tasks to the benefits.

But the one thing that keeps me from wanting to go in is the cliques and the negativity. And yes, unfortunately I’m the type of person who does not get involved with cliques nor anyone in particular. And I know that that may be my problem.

We’re getting paid to make other people’s drinks. Customers have a right to request modifications if applicable. Yeah, some customers are pretty disrespectful but it’s not often. This is something that will happen everywhere.

I’m just tired of the negativity. A lot of Starbucks partners don’t understand how much better it is to work at Starbucks compared to other fast food places. Just wishing partners were a little bit more grateful and not always having the need to talk about other partners/customers. Just because I don’t talk about someone you don’t like with you doesn’t mean I dislike you. Don’t make the job harder than it already is.

I don’t care that I have “options”. I’m completely done with men. I’ve lived both worlds. With a man and single. I can now say I will never ever go back to living with a man much less even being attracted to one. Much less to even being with one.

They’re such hypocrites in many ways. I will never ever again give up my happiness for a man. I’d rather struggle financially. I’d rather struggle being “unsafe” than to ever give a man another chance. I am honestly disappointed. As a woman in her mid 20’s I have made a final decision to never trust a man ever again.
