I've worked part time in Starbucks for almost three years. I started while I was at uni, then transferred to a new store where I've worked for two years. I really didn't think I'd stay there this long but it's been easy extra money, I've been working just Sundays for ages now.
But that's enough now, I'm handing in my notice and hanging up my apron for the last time. It's been an up and down journey, and I do really respect the company, but I want my weekends back! I love having the discount on drinks, but frappuccinos every day are not exactly great for the hips! If I have to pay full price I'll definitely cut down!
So finally, it's goodbye work trousers and black Starbucks polo shirts, goodbye fussy customers and their decaf extra hot extra dry sugar free vanilla double machiattos with extra froth on the side.
