What do I even do with this mess (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by ArinAnimates
The SB I work at is in a Target, and is seriously fucking disgusting. I feel like I'm the only person cleaning anything. There are fruit flies all over the place, grime covering all our sinks, spilled juice and milk going sour on top of our fridges because I can't pull the damn thing out - I told management our bar was only being supported by the fridge and needed to be fixed like 3 weeks ago. Still hasn't happened. I come in to stale strawberries that have been left out for days, and bar caramel that's starting to get all crusty. None of the syrup pumps ever get cleaned, half of our dishes aren't actually cleaned - just rinsed, no one wipes under anything - so shit collects and smells, I actually feel like a terrible person serving anything from this store.

​

I'm only here maybe twice a week, and the only thing I end up doing is cleaning all day. I'm not a manager or anything like that. I'm just a barista who started *3 months ago*. Tf am I supposed to do about this? (Sorry for the blurry pictures, something is wrong with my phone's camera)


I go in today after about a week of not being there, so I'll see if even the bar has been fixed.

That's disgusting. I would look into making an anonymous report to the health department. Flies and filth can spread deadly illnesses, especially to the very young and elderly or anyone with a compromised immune system.

I dunno if this is an option, but you can probably call Ecolab or another food inspection place. Honestly, if you complain to your store director or GSA or LOD you'll probably get through to them enough to make change.

Haha my store is exactly the same I can relate to this post so much. I work in a giant tarbucks and also feel like I’m the only one who cleans anything (3 months of working there as well). It’s hell.
