got fired for making myself a drink

i worked at a giant starbucks for almost a year after working at a regular starbucks for a full year, and got fired this week for making myself a drink cause i was feeling super lightheaded and didn’t wanna pass out on the job(it was a tea)and nobody could check me out because i was running the store alone

theft protection called me into the office, and i was fired on the spot

soo just as a cautionary tale, if your planning on working at a giant/target starbucks DONT.

u don’t get any benefits whatsoever, you’ll have to work alone some days and u don’t even get paid the same pay grade as corporate starbucks baristas for doing the same amount of work…

edit: just wanted to add that i had great customer service, customers would ask for me all the time! i made friends with the regulars, and never had a bad experience with a customer before
