Starbucks Employee Breaks Down In Tears Over Eight-Hour Shift

Posted • March 30, 2025: 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. —— Starbucks employee has meltdown over 8 hour shift. —— 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. Every oilfield worker in 🇺🇲 while watching this. 8 whole hours? 😂 https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/GnPE7NYWcAAp_Aq.mp4 —— 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.
