Weekly clean play at its finest (i.redd.it)

I, too, have been a cleaning-on-my-belly Partner.



I, too, have worn a trash-bag-poncho.



Never have I thought to do both at the same time!



Thanks a latte, u/NY152Shopgirl!

Even better: strapping two old aprons to your knees like hockey pads for scrubbing mats.

masterdoormatt 52 points 4y ago

None of us get paid enough to go through that effort.

Nemoitto 20 points 4y ago

No fuck no. They should hire someone else for that position. That doesn’t mean treat the place like trash but the pay doesn’t justify all the deep cleaning.

masterdoormatt 19 points 4y ago

Oh absolutely. Make it look good to the customers, but i'm not paid enough to puke when cleaning because the company doesn't give us enough labor to prevent that kind of stuff.

Nemoitto 4 points 4y ago

I feel you

TheManWhoThinksAhead 3 points 4y ago

Spraying under the rinse o matic 🤢

masterdoormatt 3 points 4y ago

Right???? Getting it done every day is the only thing you can do but i'm sure all of us busy stores know good and well the only time we're able to is during the clean play.

Also, i don't know if you have a mat at your sink, but lifting that up after weeks of neglect is probably the worst thing ever

fcknbrndn 45 points 4y ago

I’m just trying to figure out how you’re able to do your clean plays during the day...ours are done from 10pm-2am

ciannalael 17 points 4y ago

Same! Ours is from 1030pm-1230am, it could totally be done during the daytime hours.

ashley-leigh 6 points 4y ago

Ours is done from 12am-4:30, but this week it’s changing to 1am

NY152Shopgirl [OP] 11 points 4y ago

We close at 7 on Sundays, so we clean from 7-10

coffeecatmom 3 points 4y ago

Wait— this is when they have company operated stores do clean plays now??? Not during the day?

elodieme1 18 points 4y ago

Why don't they make the counters reach the floors I nthe first place ugh

stormageddon103 3 points 4y ago

I've been asking this question for the better part of 9 years now... I still don't have an answer.

elodieme1 3 points 4y ago

Wouldn't it be more hygienic? No spillage under the counters, no croissant flying across

obeehunter 13 points 4y ago

I used to do this and really get in there. Like I was sweating as I scrubbed and it would always be some crazy stain. Like bits of dry berries, splashes of strawberry refresher inclusion, and the cap from one of the tetra packs all dried into some majestic, unmovable mess.

An hour later, my clumbsy barista would come in and instantly spill the first Trenta refresher order all over the floor. "Oops. Sorry. It slipped."

this me, im the clumsy barista

obeehunter 7 points 4y ago

It's a love/hate relationship with your kind.

raptoraptorr 12 points 4y ago

... yeah my store manager can do that shit if she wants. my less than $10/hr having ass ain’t doin it

Pootz_ 11 points 4y ago

It’s actually insane that Starbucks has managed to force people to do this for the money they’re paying each partner.

CalDoesMaths 10 points 4y ago

A jobs a job. And Starbucks is a good one, even for minimal wage. And personally, cleaning the floors is one of my favourite things to do in a shift.

GrandpaCody 6 points 4y ago

I have a partner who got upset with me because I asked someone else to do the floors today instead of him hahahaha. I personally love doing all our dishes and cleaning Hobie

fuckingskeletor 7 points 4y ago

Trash suit! I did this once when I cleaned under the cupboard where the grinder was! I don’t work for starbs anymore, but what a day that was...

hippovomit 5 points 4y ago

westhawk777 18 points 4y ago

Cuz the floor nasty af

hippovomit 30 points 4y ago

i don’t be getting down and dirty in my store like that lol they don’t pay me enough for that

saqueas 4 points 4y ago

Oh wow, I never thought of this! I usually just set down a bed of paper towels. Thank you! 😂

NY152Shopgirl [OP] 3 points 4y ago

We close at 7 on sundays so it’s done from 7-10

Wonderful_Nightmare 2 points 4y ago

Do other starbies actually do the whole list of tasking in the book for clean play every clean play?

MunchYourButt 2 points 4y ago

our store is one of the only stores in the district that finishes. it helps that my manager schedules her self for most of the clean plays and our partners do what they can while the store is open. by the time we close we just have to deep clean floors and urnex the urns. our clean play is from 10:30-12am and last night we left at 10:40pm

burtmaclin2015 2 points 4y ago

Why not just use a swiffer?

NY152Shopgirl [OP] 1 points 4y ago

I used the swiffer duster bc the regular swiffer’s handle was too long to fit

Kimbo185 2 points 4y ago

I hate those cabinets...literally the worst.

deltadawn6 2 points 4y ago

Yea...no

fcknbrndn 1 points 4y ago

Yeah, we don’t do it during the day anymore and it isn’t daily. We do everything one day a week after closing
