Me sipping my iced latte on break at my Tarbux when I realize I’ve never seen any of my coworkers clean the espresso bean hopper (i.redd.it)

Also I clean it, but I don’t work everyday and our machine has broken three times in three months (and I’ve never seen anyone else do it) so I think I’m the only one cleaning it :/

Are you talking about running the sanitizer pill? Our shifts all have timers on their phone to do it

No, removing the hopper that we put the espresso beans in, emptying the old beans, cleaning it, and putting in fresh beans 😬

I work in a corporate freestanding store and they do that once a week during what we call a clean play where the store is deep cleaned

I used to work for a corporate store and we used to do it weekly as well, but at my Tarbux we don’t do clean plays and our cleaning lists aren’t very thorough

I used to go to a tarbux a lot as I worked by a target and I only ever got hot coffee. Do you like tarbux more? I know you don’t get free stuff and there’s less benefits but I know wages are higher

Our location does it EVERY NIGHT, and I’ve been there for over 4years now. We had some fill-in’s come from another local Tarbux when we were short staffed, and learned that they don’t empty and clean the bean hoppers or the ice bin every night!? They get so gross even in ONE day. Also if a green bean is bad at cleaning at least they are being emptied/cleaned nightly like 80 percent of the time. Whew.
