Question about sleeves? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by dykovsky
I started working at a licensed Starbucks in an airport last summer and was trained to always put sleeves on hot drinks before handing them off. I took a few months off of work when I moved, then started working at a hyvee starbucks and they don’t sleeve anything except teas and americanos. I wanted to ask what actual company policy is at corporate stores because to me, not sleeping hot drinks seems kind of lazy? Regulars have expressed to me that they love when I hand their drinks off with sleeves already on them and I’m going to keep doing it but I wasn’t sure if it’s legitimate policy or just a polite extra step

Anything with hot water and all venti cups should be sleeved

^^this is what I was taught during online barista training, but in practice my store sleeves everything in a hot cup bc most customers want them and it's easier to refill our bar sleeve holders than the lobby one

Same here, I sleeve all things. But standard says just drinks with hot water and venti cups

That makes sense, thanks! People at my store definitely don’t sleeve all venti cups so at least now I can say with certainty what we’re supposed to be doing

I work in a licensed store and we have a sleeve policy in order to be more sustainable, we just put sleeves on drinks that really need it ie. anything venti hot, made with water like teas and americanos, and any drink that’s extra hot. Anything else we don’t sleeve but if they ask for one we will. It’s a problem if they don’t sleeve anything at all but maybe they have a policy similar to this?

That seems to be a corporate policy from what I can tell. I’m assuming license stores should be following the same standard? We aren’t exactly the most sustainable store lol. We don’t do much, if anything, besides compost/give out grounds. I think it might just be laziness or bad training, which isn’t abnormal in a licensed store
