Have my food safety class soon! Somewhat scared to do that
Order new ones lol. Before it gets to the point. I use the Suma Shine Packets (not sure if we can still order with the recent change to our cleaning chemicals).What’s the best way to get old stains out of pitchers? Have some that are slowly getting faint white lines on them
Faint white lines? Do you notice this when you're brewing teas in them?What’s the best way to get old stains out of pitchers? Have some that are slowly getting faint white lines on them
How many hours, and what are your peaks?Can you guys share your starbucks schedules with me? I feel like I write a pretty good one but I've been toying with changing it a bit to see if it helps with peak and getting prep/orders done.
Just looking for some ideas!
How long?Iced tea pitchers last a very very long time if you wash them by hand with a blue scrub pad. I ruined sooooo many of them when I started because my team showed me how to wash them with the green scrub pad and then put them in the dishwasher... they looked awful. Also, don’t mix anything in them - I see some stores use them to make skinny mocha or frap roast and then the whisk will scratch it up.
I've been using the same ones since I opened my new store 2 months ago and honestly they look brand new and I haven't even done a single deep clean with any chemicals. Same with the infusions and all the iced tea lids. So I'm thinking they'll last until someone drops them and the handle breaks or something.How long?

I have dishwasher for Cafe’ which some of my baristas use at closing. They forbidden from putting the tea pitchers in itwait u guys have dishwashers??
oops, i'll have to stop doing this. we're having problems keeping our tea pitchers looking clean (we do wash them every night, but they're all mostly stained)
150, peak is 730-10, 12-2, and 4-6How many hours, and what are your peaks?
What are your weekly sales and how much busier are you on weekends vs weekdays? If you're much busier on weekends, then your weekdays can survive with one barista at all times, and you can just use some hours to help with break coverage, doing orders, and doing anything you need to do off stage.150, peak is 730-10, 12-2, and 4-6
Yes I’ve had that happen to me the other day...if card doesn’t go through what is the scam? And what routines have you put into place?Anyone else having issues with Starbucks gift card scammers who come in wanting to “reload” multiple gift cards with large sums of money and their cards they use to “pay” never go through? I’ve already put in place routines to prevent it but wanted to know if it’s on going in other stores. It’s been happening in my district and neighboring districts as well.
There’s a glitch in the system where once you press total, they have access to the funds without paying. They’re on the phone usually and they say a word that tells the other person when to move the funds. My team tells them they have to load the funds on to a Target gift card and then they can add it to the Starbucks card. This prevents them from having access to the funds. They leave right after.Yes I’ve had that happen to me the other day...if card doesn’t go through what is the scam? And what routines have you put into place?

We know when it’s someone trying to scam again. It’s a feeling you get from the moment they walk into the line.Been going on for months in CA. So, after going through this song and dance about 100 times (no lie) what the TM's do is to just stare them down and say, "Not today. Not later. Not ever." Or of course, there is the simple hit a key numerous times and say it is not working today, sorry.
Funny thing is that it is only a certain race, that is less than 1% of the demographic of my area, so it is really easy to see when a person is in the line with the scam.
