What is it like working as a Barista?
May 2020
Starbucks baristas are expected to be perfect 100% of the time.
Barista in Belmar:
Pros: I like being able to interact with the customers, being able to bring a smile to someone’s face, make them forget about their lives for a second.
Cons: I think that shift supervisors are chosen by popularity opposed to ability I think some people get preferential treatment. I think that hard work and dedication are overlooked
May 2020
Barista life.
Barista in Pensacola:
Pros: The smells when I walk in.
Cons: The totally irresponsible choices the company has made in regards to its wages which has been covered up by useless benefits aimed to aid the partners who work there but really don’t effectively help many people when a dollar or 2 more would solve so many of my coworkers life struggles. It’s sickening and they pretend like they care for the partners but they only continue to add responsibilities and refuse to work with us on wages despite the impoverished lifestyles of at least half the staff. Absurd.
