POV: your at school and your interview is in 1 hour & 5 minutes 💀

[@Anna-pb4em]

POV you are a new hire at Starbucks and your training starts in less then 24 hours. It’s 12am and your frantically scouring youtube about Starbucks and watching day in the life as a starbs employee. You’re nervous as all get out and you start making up random scenarios in your mind of screwing things up and messing up peoples drinks and dismantling the Starbucks system designed and fabricated for maximum efficiency. On top of impending fears of throwing off their groove, you scour the depths of your closet to find a solid dark tone shirt(such a simple request until the time comes and you actually need one). You finally find a navy shirt balled up in you dresser that hasn’t seen the late of day in several months. You watch this video and you are a little less nervous but still a solid 8 on the nervous scale. You tell yourself its ok to be nervous and to not be nervous of being nervous on the first day if ya know what I mean. And you know you are making this a huge deal and being so irrational. UPDATE: I quit after a week. Not my jam.

I’m a Starbucks trainer. Don’t be nervous or think your fellow partners are expecting you to remember all the information from training! We all know it takes time to memorize all the recipes and methods to Starbucks baristas madness! Good luck to all of you in your training.

[@vishavbawa4141]

I'm just a newly hired, have little bit scared how I gonna do all

[@jordyntoll]

@@vishavbawa4141 When I first started I felt like I would never amount to the other experienced baristas. But in a none conceded way I know I’m now a dependable person In all positions. I promise you will have that moment in a few months and look back and realize there was nothing to be so worried about. At It’s core Starbucks Is truly a trade job. It takes time to learn the in's and out’s. I know it can be hard to start something and struggle with the fact you “don’t know what you’re doing”. Some things just take time which is a really cool thing actually. If you think about It, If you came in knowing exactly how to do everything right off the bat it would be so boring. You will have much more pride within yourself knowing you started from no experience and became the Barista you will become. Just enjoy the experience everyone at your job has gone through the exact same thing. You got this, do not doubt yourself. I believe in you!

[@halnyx7488]

I'm currently 2 weeks in training at a Starbucks kiosk in my grocery store, and am honestly overwhelmed and stressed. Not only do I need to get the (basic) drinks down a pat AND work faster like you'd mentioned employees will request of you, but on top of that I have to be able to prep/maintain/setup/do CAP for the kiosk... And one day very soon on my own. And I feel like they just keep throwing one new thing to remember after another when I still haven't even gotten the basics down confidently, let alone the register. And what's more this particular kiosk is constantly having some sort of malfunction due to the equipment not being taken care of. I honestly feel like it would take me about 6+ months to get anywhere near my coworkers' level of confidence (which tbh they're all really sweet and considerably patient with me during my training), but it makes me feel mentally drained at the thought that all of this needs to be done in a month by myself.
