Starbucks Team Leaders

[Dtwia]

We will start using the new SAR in a few days at my store. For the other flavors can we keep them out of the coolers now or do we have to wait for the 4x to do that?

We're supposed to keep all refreshers at room temperature now.

Got word that they're dropping peach & guava juices, the sausage/bacon/egg/potato/cheese wrap & the very berry refresher.
The wrap hasn't been a big seller & very berry has fallen off but the juices are VERY popular with the teas & we're just getting into hot weather down here so SMH

Not a permanent discontinuation. Only temporary to focus on production on other refreshers and breakfast food items. Everything you listed will be expected to return by the Fall, if not sooner.

Good to know, although it seems ill-timed since summer is when many of these drinks crank up in popularity.

How about that cut list posted on workbench today? *Screams internally*

 

[Asuras]

That's not a simple cut, alot of things will be out all summer to a year. Including Green Iced Tea, Toffenut, Hazelnut, Raspberry, Cinnamon Dolce, Honey Blend, Pineapple Ginger Syrups, Guava and Peach Juices. Stoppers, straws, Caramel Drizzle, other random stuff. I work at a company operated store too and have been out on something's for a month already 😭

 

[ele1]

The sarcasm font didn't work. It's a shit show. I live near the east coast DC and have some friends that work there and the place is practically empty.

*me starts looking thru my excess items for things to barter*

Okay, should we pour hot water down the drains at the end of the night (after cleaning them) to prevent fruit flies or pour ice down them? Which works better? And what about the sinks?

 

[ele1]

Should be hot water that way any sugar build up gets flushed away. For the sinks my team pops a few Mastrena tablets in each one in the morning and they make it way easier to do a nice quick scrub at night.

 

[redeye58]

We dissolve a couple mastrena tablets in a pitcher of hot water (half brew) before pouring it around the inside of the drain.

Hot water, and repeatedly through the day to prevent the crud from getting stuck.

Those of you who don’t have walk-in freezers, do you have dedicated space for frozen food in the consumables freezer?

 

[Xanatos]

Those of you who don’t have walk-in freezers, do you have dedicated space for frozen food in the consumables freezer?

Nope. I have a two door freezer. One door for sandwiches, one door for pastries. I can fit approximately 2 of everything, unless there is a lot of seasonal stuff.

 

[Glamour]

Those of you who don’t have walk-in freezers, do you have dedicated space for frozen food in the consumables freezer?

Yes we have one full green rack in consúmables freezer..

 

[Dtwia]

How is everyone’s stock holding up with the supply issues? So far we are only out of lemonade, green tea, and very berry.

 

[Xanatos]

I'm out of peach and berry hibiscus. Going to run out of caramel drizzle tomorrow or the day after. Very low on guava, kind of low on green tea. Everything else seems ok so far.

 

[TLSpot]

I’m out of lemonade only but to be fair, our trucks have been inconsistent for the past few years so our strategy has been ordering mass amounts and then being able to go at least 3 weeks between orders, because our trucks get delayed/orders cut that badly at least 3x per year.

 

[CrazyTarget]

Those of you who don’t have walk-in freezers, do you have dedicated space for frozen food in the consumables freezer?

Yes, we do.

btw, we are out of: guava, lemonade, green tea, mango-dragon juice, caramel drizzle. We are also not getting protein boxes, bacon-sausagge wraps, ham&swiss cros, butter cros.

 

[Hardlinesmaster]

My local non target Starbucks are having supply issues too.

 

[redeye58]

Out of lemonade, peach & guava, caramel drizzle, white mocha, peppermint, protein boxes, ham & cheese croissants, kid's milk boxes to name a few.

 

[CrazyTarget]

When they announced the peach outage, I ordered the following week 6 cases and I got them all still. On the new Sbux weekly update they anounced outage of sandwich and panini bags... order couple of boxes to stock up. Maybe it will work.

 

[Yetive]

When teaching people to order I always say I'd rather run out of Pike than vanilla syrup or caramel drizzle. The apocalypse is upon us
