wouldn’t it be better to just have plastic pastries instead of throwing away each day ???

I’ve mentioned this many times, apparently corporate believes that having fake pastries gives off the vibe that they’re not “fresh” (despite the fact that they literally come in bags, delivered frozen)

so dumb bc literally no one could tell if the sandwiches are plastic or real smh

Meanwhile almost every customer whom I tell that we are out of something points to the -one- of it in the pastry case and asks why they can’t have that one?? 🤢

theoretically we are supposed to use product that went out the night before... cause ya... that happens... almost as fun as people asking for the "sippy cup lid" after they've gotten their drink so they can "save the turtles"... yup let me throw away this other lid while I'm at it...

Same with recycling!! If we had one dedicated trash can for plastics we would do so much good with the 100+ milk jugs we throw out. But nooo lord forbid Starbucks ever do something decent for the earth OR its baristas. SMH

laurasb1 [OP]6 points3y ago

Our DM INSISTS that we donate food that we’ve kept in the pastry case. I just can’t do it in good conscious. We donate food that’s gone out and throw the pastry case away

WHAT
That’s disgusting. That’s insane to even consider giving the old pastry case food to people to eat. I’m so glad you don’t actually do that, and I’m sorry your DM is a fuckin loon apparently lol
IMakeYourC0ffee2 points3y ago
I’m confused? The pastry case food gets put up every morning when you open. So at the end of the day when you close, why is that bad to donate it? Other than the items that don’t require refrigeration, they’re perfectly safe to eat once opened.

It’s supposed to be done DAILY?!
Someone needs to send a memo to my store
abbye_a1 points3y ago
Our food gets done every other day, pastries on one day sandwiches on the next (ex. MWF- pastries, Tuesday Thursday is sandwiches) and on the off days they just sit in the case. Flies get all in it and it sits, so it’s pretty gross
