Anyone work at a coffee shop?
    #18991228 - 10/17/13 02:32 PM (10 years, 4 months ago)

This past month I've been working at one of the town's (150,000ish people) coffee shop. We do a lot of food as well and almost the entire time there are no supervisors. We are in charge of cleaning and restocking and the money at the end of our night entirely on our own. This takes 1-2 hours.

No more than 2 people usually work the shop and a lot of the time you are alone, it is very stressful in my opinion. Multi tasking and simply having to give a customer the cold shoulder when they are in line is stupid and if the owner could just fork out another set of minimum wage to have more workers available then it would be run a lot more smoothly.

Is this normal for working at a coffee house? I have worked 3 other customer service jobs before but they were fucking easy and you had supervisors who made sure everything was in working order. It's cool being in charge but there is never a moment of rest.. ever.

I am going through the SAME exact thing as you... I don't know if it's normal but it sure is driving me crazy and not worth the $8.50 I make an hour.

Ehhh I've been an assistant supervisor for about 5 months now, I understand where you are coimg from when you say "no rest ever," but honestly I enjoy it. Day fucking flys by compared to small breaks here and there and giving yourself time to think..

I'll take you to the coffee shop
Boy one taste of what I got
I'll have you spending all you got
Keep going till you hit the spot woah

You can have it your way, how do you want it
Ice cold or hot you want whipped cream on it
Temperature rising, okay lets go to the next level
Caffeine packed, hot as a teakettle
I'll make it for you now, really it's simple
Just wait a little let me get it with a pencil
Sippin in college in your car or in the business central
On the beach or in the park, it's whatever you into

First of all, this is a temporary job for you - a stepping stone in your career, so keep that in mind when you go to work.  Second, it is time you and Osculate started to look for better opportunities.  You got a good job, now get another one - one with better pay.

I know you can do this and you know you can do this.  Put it in gear and get the job you really want AND DESERVE!

:excited:

Haha, well yes it is definitely high time for me to get a job that I love. But I'd have to get extremely lucky to land that. I play music and have a group started and I write. (cliche as hell, yes.)

And by myself I do get decent tips. I make 10-30 bucks a day on top of my hourly but that honestly isn't very much considering my hourly is 7.25. This might raise but I have no idea when and by how much. This all said, when the job gets to a "second-nature" level it should be fine, just not a lot of cash.

I make enough money to have my own place downtown but I'm not digging the city I live in.

Why can't I just grow my own food on a mountain side and live in a cabin right next to a fucking happening city?.. bleh.. sorry for ranting here.
