Many on social media cannot help but sympathize with this young man who literally cries on camera after he is scheduled for an 8-hour shift on a weekend. However, there are few who actually think that the person in the video should not be crying but instead working hard like all the other people who are striving hard.
Social media users couldn’t help but sympathize with the Starbucks employee.A Starbucks barista shared a video of themselves crying on camera because of their hectic working hours.

The clip shows the employee sharing their thoughts on management and rude customers, but it was what the person said about their schedule that prompted a reaction online.

Twitter
The barista — who is also a student — said that a 25-hour week and 8-hour shifts during the weekend were too much for them to handle.In the video – shared on Twitter by far-right Trump supporter Sebastian Gorka – they said: “I’m a full time student, I get scheduled for 25 hours a week. And then on weekends, they scheduled me the entire day, open to close, that one’s scheduled for eight and half hours, both Saturday and Sunday.

 

 

“I’m three and a half hours into my shift. There’s so many customers and we have four people on the floor all day. Only five people were put on schedule and somebody had to call out.”They went on to say that the managers “don’t care about us” and “don’t want to help us,” claiming that their manager had taken himself off the shift because he didn’t want to come in.

 

 

The barista stated that the customers were being rude and misgendering them, and finished by saying: “I don’t get accommodations for being neurodivergent, people get mad at me for having too much sick time. I don’t even know what to do anymore, I’m at my wits end with this job.”

Twitter
Getting an education in the US is very expensive and most students get part-time jobs during their time at university to support themselves.Many had sympathy for the worker, with one person pointing out that on top of uni work the student would end up with 70 hour per week.

Another said: “He’s crying about being understaffed and working two weekend days in a row, with a manager taking no responsibility for the understaffing, and not working with them on the floor. Common practise in coffee shops. One might see it as being exploitation to a degree.”

 

 

A third tweeted: “People in the comments defending bad work environment and abuse because they were abused too.”And, criticizing those attacking the barista, a fourth added: “This is why everyone hates the older generation because y’all will say you want the best for our generations and then when we want it to be better y’all whine about how you had it worse and essentially say we deserve the same. I will never understand why you wouldn’t want better.”

Twitter
Others simply pointed out the embarrassing typo made by Gorka, who has a number of ties to the alt-right.A few days back there was another viral video where a worker decided to quit their McDonald’s job because they were asked to do a load of washing up.
