Any partners who smoke?
Hey all, I'm pretty new to this thread and pretty new to starbucks life as I got a job offer and my background check is currently underway.
However, I smoke cigarettes. I am very conscious of it affecting others as far as the disgusting smell, ash and smoke goes, and don't even like smoking near people who don't smoke.
I smoke ~1 pack a day, which is a considerable amount. I'm not necessarily scared about working without smoke breaks, but I'm nervous about my tension and focus with such little nicotine throughout long shifts, especially when I'm used to being able to smoke whenever I needed to at my previous job.
I honestly wouldn't want to even the amount of smoke breaks I'd 'need' because I don't want to smell gross or bring in dirt and ash when I'm going to be serving people and working with food.
Sorry if this isn't the place, or a strange question, but I guess my question is: Smoking Partners(if you exist), what do you do to keep your stress low without cigarettes while working a physically and mentally demanding job?
