So corporate decides to send out a trash stick to every store
Then has a module that specifically tells baristas they are not supposed to compact the trash because it’s a potential health hazard.
Okay

We’ve been misusing it the whole time, it’s not for the trash in the cans. It’s for the trash in the lobby. If someone refuses to wear a mask, we can push them out of the store while maintaining six feet of distance.

Its for pushing away trash, same diff

That module predates the stick. They should probably update it. Slight oversight.

At least in my state they say not to push down on trash on the food license test

I think they mean not to push it down with your hands because of possible hazard.

Correct. That’s literally the entire point of the stick.

My store was overusing this thing. I would be the closing shift and some bags would be so compacted they would just shred trying to pull them out.

I don’t think anyone at my store ever use it. Lmao. Just letting it sit there.

We use it to prop open our BOH door!

I haven't noticed if we've received one. I'm not using that COVID stick. They're only gonna tell us to clean it every now and then in a clean play.

Our stick made a brief appearance for about 5 days before it disappeared into storage. Our store is so small, there is absolutely no room for useless bullshit that blocks the door, or blocks the fridges, or blocks the trash can, or blocks the paper closet, or blocks the sink, etc., It was an infuriating week of just moving it out of the way and never using it before my SM just basically said fuck it.

we use ours to keep our warming fridge closed

We didnt get a stick... but that's not surprising since my store is always overlooked by corporate anyways

I get a lot of enjoyment out of our trash stick - if it's absolutely useless, it might as well boost morale. I run out, wielding my mighty trash stick before bellowing "DID SOMEBODY CALL FOR THEIR GARBAGE COMPACTED?"

I enjoy using mine too!

Hazard pay?? We thought you said trash plunger to make trash bags even heavier???🙃

Understandable. First time I used it my hand slipped and I slammed it into the edge of the trash can. Dangerous Trash Masher
