There is ONE employee that works every single morning tirelessly to a line that is impossible to manage with one person. This is a location in a hospital, and what do hospital workers need in the morning? Coffee. So yeah, its freakin' busy. She works her butt off every single morning by herself trying to make as many drinks as she can at once, a multitasker who is making the best of a situation. She is always there, without fail.
Yesterday morning, a new white lady was at the location working with her. She was berating our tireless worker, calling her stupid, slow, harassing her, etc. It is worth noting that the woman who works every single day by herself is a person of color who was being abused at work by a white lady. She was shouting, harassing, and creating a horribly hostile work environment that clearly made all of the customers extremely uncomfortable. People were walking out because it was absolutely ridiculous to see this treatment occur, this racist treatment occur.
Yeah, our faithful dunkin' barista is not perfect. But she sure as hell shows up and works her butt off every single day, and THAT is what matters. To see her belittled, embarrassed, harassed, and abused was absolutely heartbreaking and unacceptable. I hope that Dunkin' Donuts take immediate action against this woman who, first of all didn't make much of a difference in terms of wait time, and second of all was displaying the most unprofessional and clearly racist behavior. BYE
Thank you, to our unnamed dunkin' hero for not only putting up with all of us healthcare workers, but this horrible woman. We appreciate you so much. You make our morning.
Oh and management, you best be hiring way more people to get this woman support. And it better not be this white lady.
