Working at Starbucks Sucks

You are a whore, darlin’.

Verificatia of coworker sizemeat?

So erna isn’t dead.

R1 How does this make a whore????

But the cool lingo and black sharpie...

Those headset things they force you to hear totally brainwash you and give you cancer, right?

Maybe you can sue over that, down the line.

OP, are you black? This is a grand opportunity for a "your manager likes his men like he likes his coffee" comment.

Seriously, OP at r4?

OP, I seriously hope you’re under the age of 25.

R8 Explain and R 9 I'm 29

Guilt, schmilt. Having morals gets you nowhere in the corporate world. Grind his beans and receive his cream up your coffee filter. You could go from barista to boardroom by the time there's a Covid vaccine.

[quote]Explain

If you fuck someone in the hopes that he'll promote you, you're a whore. A friend of mine refers to it as being "transactional." But it means he's a whore.

R12 I meant just flirt with him. I am not going to sleep with my manager. He is 110 pounds and is super flamboyant. Nothing wrong with him as a person, he just is not my type.

Maybe it's time to get a real job? Not the easiest thing at the moment. But you have the job of a teenager.

OP, why do so many gays work at Starbucks? Just a thing I've noticed. I follow a few gays on TikTok who work there.

R14, a lot of people can’t even get a Starbucks job right now. “Adult” job my ass. Some DL’s attitude seems to be think if you wish it, you’ll get it

R14 is a textbook cunty R1 reply. Brava!

Starbucks is the HR equivalent of professional gay heaven for gay millennials.

Here in SF they are a mixed bag. Some are nice, but there are just as many who are mean and bitchy to gay customers. There's one kid at the one on our lobby floor that I had to put in his place for unnecessary bitchiness. Everyone else at that location loves me (they offer me free coffee unsolicited), so I know it's not me.

[quote]Please help. What would you do?

Get a new job.

This will end in tears if you flirt with him to get a raise.

You know those emergency alert systems on TV where they say "This is only a test. This is not a real emergency"? That was the advice from a coworker/friend who told me how to get through a sucky retail job. Tell yourself "This is only a test. This is not my real career."

It's a job. You'll deal with the soulless, but also some nice people. Don't worry about your boss. Keep doing what you need to do until you can find something else.

I would only fuck your manager if he was cute and you wanted to fuck him anyway. The last thing you want is to expect a pay raise in exchange for sex and then he changes his mind afterwards.

R11 ... a manager of a Sbux location is barely an opening for an extra free drink or breakfast sandwich, much less a door to the boardroom.

But I will give you two dicks up for the “creamer in your filter” imagery.

[quote] There's one kid at the one on our lobby floor that I had to put in his place for unnecessary bitchiness.

OP you’re 29 and have had EIGHT sugar daddies. You’re hot af but also have a sloppy stinky pussy... we fucked.

You put this on yourself. You’re a money grubbing whore who is broke and needs a job. You are well used. No one wants you in the gay community. Just like Paul Manafort.

Thanks for the support and laughs. I might have to be deported back to San Antonio. NYC has ruined me.

R25 that’s a mean thing to say. I’ve been doing kegals and workout everyday. Lol

R18 I want you. You type hot and alpha!

R18 I want you. You type hot and alpha!

You are 29 and you work at Starbucks? Do you want to be one of The Poors forever?

Go back to writing Joel pornography.

There are no jobs right now. What is he supposed to do? Become a partner in a law firm? DL is so unhelpful sometimes. He should shmooze the boss to get a pay raise. Meaning, string him along.

R31 thanks and other advice?

Wouldn't it be better to work at Dunkin Donuts? Not as many coffee snobs, actual good coffee and there's a could chance it's attached to a Baskin Robbins and you can have all the ice cream you want!

[R32] I would suggest using the job as an opportunity to meet people in order to network for another job. One plus of retail/restaurant work is that you get to know the regulars and some of them may be helpful and have contacts. Good luck!

This stuff happens at every job in some form. Decide how much you'll let roll off your back and what things you are going to take control of. Take control over the situations you feel strongly about.

OP the only solution is to hang yourself in the oven, during an employee meeting.

I could use R33 in my life right now to help me with the treacherous waters that prevail.

R33 I don’t eat ice cream really. R36 that’s rude I’m trying to make it, but I want to know who said I was stinky sloppy and loose. I’m not btw

OP, why don't take advantage of the free college perk that Starbucks offers? Once you get your degree, quit.

What's the situation with the bathrooms, OP - since the "anyone can use them" thing? Do YOU have to clean them?

R39 I have to be here for so long before I can

R40 I do clean the bathrooms. So humiliating

Well as R16/R31 seems to imply, maybe cleaning toilets, serving mid-range coffee and being harassed by your teenaged twink boss is the best you can do. Just accept this misery and try to develop some sort of inner life.

Is this troll [italic] still [/italic] going at it? Jesus fucking Christ. Hasn't it already been established by now that this is a troll you all keep falling for? Someone in this previous thread already exposed "Collin's" inconsistency in his statements and other non Collinboy postings at R18. It's amazing how you all still get suckered into this.

But let's hypothetically forget all of the previous exposure of his trolling for just a quick second. "Collin," if you actually work at Starbucks, then which one do you work at it and what are your hours? It'd be easy for us to definitively expose whether you're telling the truth or not by telling us which location you work at. Many of us are New Yorkers and if you're not lying to us, then one of us could easily show up at your Starbucks and find you during your working hours. That is, if this is actually a real person named "Collin" and not a troll as has been shown multiple times.

Actually, let me just post the comment here.

[Quote] The lying OP is also the author of the Sinful Sexuality thread, where he has a different job:

[Quote] I work in investments and am super stressed with the volatility of the market and my job right now, too. I guess I have thought about all the stress in my life and am just rambling and anonymously sharing my frustrations with both my work and personal life.

We definitively know that this is not a man named "Collin." It's still a DL mystery as to who this guy really is and where this troll got this photo from.

"Collin" claims he works at a Starbucks in Harlem during the morning shift if any of you bitches want to stop by and say hi.

He smokes? Ugh.

O Collin, curse the day that God made you by your account so irresistibly attractive to everyone!

Haven't you posted about your manager before OP? Can you just go work at a different Starbucks?

[quote]Wouldn't it be better to work at Dunkin Donuts? Not as many coffee snobs, actual good coffee and there's a could chance it's attached to a Baskin Robbins and you can have all the ice cream you want!

DD just recently went into Bankruptcy and will be closing a huge number of its locations.

R45 can you search it on Google image ? I think this Collinboy is a troll

R51 Can't find anyone who looks like him. He's posted other images before.

R43, yes, you’re just the kind of person any of us would kill to have show up at our (begrudged) workspace and call us out. Or worse yet, make us feel like we are being somehow blackmailed or manipulated for your own personal gains.

It may be time for Collin to type "Man" after his name instead of "Boy."

^^^^^

Not until he makes the leap to TRUE retail queen! La Republican De Bananeria? Barney’s? Amazon Prime?

I had to quit Starbucks more than 25 years ago because I could not physically restrain myself from rolling my eyes at customers with very special orders. I would literally have to turn around in the middle of a transaction, roll my eyes, and then turn around to face the customer again. At that point, I knew I had to leave.

Your company's coffee is horrible, but fortunately for the corporation, I am a junkie, and it's the closest source of my drug of choice.

Food service in general sucks. Customers often suck, coworkers and managers are degenerates - which is less appealing than it seems - and everything is just... Ugh.

I don't miss it. Good luck, OP.

Good for you R56... 25 years ago you discovered people are awful and not to be indulged.

Can’t wait to hear which new hell unto which you escaped.

[quote] It may be time for Collin to type "Man" after his name instead of "Boy."

Eh, doesn’t seem like much of a man to me.

[quote]He smokes? Ugh.

Collin does that to keep prisspots like you at bay.

How does the man in those photos work at Starbucks? Every Starbucks I've been to in the city (which is A LOT) have been staffed by surly people of color.

R53 I wouldn't even bother showing up, especially not to a Starbucks in Harlem. I'm sure someone else would, however.

R61 thinks his local post office is a Starbucks....

[quote]DD just recently went into Bankruptcy and will be closing a huge number of its locations.

Dunkin Donuts did not file for bankruptcy.

Isn't being a whore part of retail and food service culture? Own it, OP! Since your boss is a twink, I assume he is a Nelly bottom. Pound the shit out of him until you get that raise, dammit!

Don't block him on Facebook until you move on. If you do it while still working there, watch out! That bitch will come for you with pitchers of hot milk in hand. He sounds like one of those obsessive fags that never gets laid if he's going through your Facebook posts from 2 years ago. Tread lightly.

Good luck!!

[quote] He should shmooze the boss to get a pay raise. Meaning, string him along.

He can expect a ten cent per hour raise once every two years.

You are correct and I stand corrected, r64. On a few franchises and not the national chain have filed for chapter 11 protection.

Better go to school and get educated in something then.

Listen to r33. He’s the only one who gave any good advice on this thread.
