I knew it could happen, but still didn't expect it: side effects of weight loss and other...

time to leave that store
I would suggest you try for management at a different store

women can be cats! if you need to pull out your claws and rip back!

Wow!  These stories make me glad I'm 58.  I'm too old to be much competition for anything except a prime spot in the cemetery.  Just joking about the cemetery because I don't think I'm that old.  Anyway, with my surgery, I think I've delayed that place for a few more years.

Can you transfer to another store?  It is hard in this economy to find a job that includes benefits.  One of m y daughter's works for Sbucks and seems to enjoy it.

I might would try to transfer if you enjoy the job, but moving on is ok, too.
You can't  change other people, only yourself.
I think I hate the " wow your husband must be really happy NOW!" worse than the jealous comments.  This implies that I was such a fat pig he MUST have been miserable, or that he is shallow and the boob job was all he needed to be happy.

Oh, Sally, I hate that "compliment" too.  It's the absolute worst one of them all.  I absolutely snapped once and told one poor soul that my husband wasn't shallow enough to only love me for my appearance alone.  Seriously, what are people thinking?!

That my friend is why I left Sbux 2 1/2 months ago....

I had a regular customer who used to think i was invisable until i dropped all my weight. Then one day he walked in and matter of factly told me in front of my shift supervisor, other customers, and 1 other barista what he would like to do to....SEXUALLY.  I kid you not, I started laughing.  I was blushing but I kept my cool and told him "yeah yeah...whatever.  See ya tomorrow, same time, same place, same drink".  Well my shift just froze and didnt' say anything. The customer complained to my store manager and that she didn't do anything and my shift and the other barista told him I provoked it.  Hell, if he had the balls to look at the video tape he would of known that was a lie.  Well after getting thrown under the bus I was pissed and I left.   My recent reviews were excellent but for some reason someone was always complaining that the customers were flirting with Tammy, that Tammy's shift at drive thru always pulled in the biggest tips, that everyone came in requesting me. Wow. All of the sudden my customer service skills are now a hinderance?  FUCK THAT! I took absolute pride in my job....and I even put a few customers in there place with NO CONSEQUENSES!  Now if i smiled or said have a nice day I was sleeping with them. If I got praised for a job well done, I was sleeping with the boss. I had shift supervisor ask me for some personal dating advice and the next thing I knew he thought he could have me. Um. NOT! 

I had several other store managers request me.  I should of taken them up on it instead of getting so irate and storming out.  

Sbux drama still makes me sick.  And the worst part...I no longer work there and I still hear what's going on....both in front and behind the scenes.  ugh. If I wasn't so damn addicted I would find a different coffee shop. As it is, I now am going to different locations.

best of luck to you.  I almost made it the full 2 years.  I quit 2 months shy of my 2 year mark.

xox

You got what you needed from this job.  You don't owe them a thing.

Given the type of job it is, I do agree with Amanda.  If you like it, find another location (if possible), and even go for a management position.  In some cir****tances, it helps not to have a history with your co-workers.  In places where people hang around in such close quarters together for a long period of time, the conversation can get pretty personal.  We develop relationships that people tend to view more as friendships (because you share so much) than as professional acquaintances.  Women who have time to chit chat can get pretty catty; it is the nature of this kind of job.  Men can, too, no doubt.  Actually, in corporate jobs, men can be a far worse situation --- when they feel threatened professionally, it can get pretty ugly.

Anyway, onto a new adventure!!

I'm so sorry you are going through this!!!!!!!

I feel your pain, my co-worker made the comment (when I wasn't there) that I "needed to take care of the inside and stop worrying about the outside"  so every chance I get I say out loud and proud "I'm going shopping...I need to worry about my outside some more"  or I'll say something about vitamins, and say loudly about "taking care of the inside"

Put it in their face.  I'm PROUD of what I did.  I know that my maker was OK with me doing this. 

I love the attention (yes...guilty...attention *****!!) I get from the guys @ work.  I'm not interested in any of them...but it's very nice to be told "you're looking good there girl!"


Don't leave if you don't want to.  But do if you are HATING going in everyday, and can afford not to work.

Keep you chin up girl........you look amazing, and women can be such *****es!! 

   Thank you all for your replies,  I went to another store and spoke with the manager there, I had worked with her before (she was our temporary manager, whom I had told about my WLS plans) and she is actually 4 years post RNY, so she understood a lot of what I was going through. 
    I found out it was not as bad as I had perceived, it was a few of the women I was working with.  I was planning on just taking leave (and then transferring) for a few weeks until my kids were back in school, because my H got promoted and they are sending him out of town for the first few months.
  My manager had already drastically cut my hours after I came back from surgery, to the point where I had lost my insurance in April.  When I had asked about not working for a few weeks because of my situation, she brought up that I had already had my leave (last Sept, I still could get leave now). So I just put in my two weeks written notice, she took me off the schedule for this week, so I guess that's it. 
  I guess I was hoping to be more assertive once I had lost weight,  I have also been the girl who was overly nice, like you Kimberly.   I really do need to get my claws out once in awhile. I hope that comes with time too. 
   I figure everything happens for a reason, and while I liked my job there, it was not a career, I haven't done any art for two years now, I need to get back into that again. I really miss it. So maybe this was just the push I needed.

GOOD RIDDANCE, I say.  You don't need that, ugh!
