I go to Starbucks every morning. I'm not sure if, as a conservative, I'm supposed to be boycotting the chain or not, but I like to get my daughter a black iced tea to take to work with her every morning. I've seen the same employees there forever — staff retention seems pretty good.
I generally get there around 5:30 a.m., so there's not much of a crowd. I have been to another location, though, where it's always crowded and at least a dozen people are waiting for mobile orders. So I understand it gets busy.
Back when I was in school, I used to bag groceries, stock shelves, and mop the floors from 4 p.m. to 12 a.m. Eight hours of bagging groceries can be a drag — I'd try just to go as long as I could before looking at the clock.
Here's a Starbucks employee who works eight-and-a-half hour shifts on weekends, and he's in tears over it.

On top of all that, he was misgendered!
I'm not sure where he's going to go where it's not busy and he's not expected to work a full day. He'd better find somewhere, fast.
Lmaooo. I bartended 4 nights per week plus college football homegame Saturdays at a SEC campus pub WHILE I WAS IN SCHOOL. This dude is not cut out for this world. https://t.co/IqVeq75ahx

This kid is going to have a rude awakening ahead when he gets out of school.

Starbucks is probably paying his tuition … I hear they have really good benefits.
Try being a nurse. They work 12 hour shifts doing things much harder than making coffee.

I can't find the story right now, but this reminds me of the White House staffers who got together to write a letter demanding four-day work weeks.
I honestly feel bad for the guy … he's literally crying over the workload. I'm not sure placing his hopes on a union is the way to go, though.
