Cringing as I have flashbacks of cleaning out the sinks.
TemplarSensei7 16 points 2y ago
That’s nothing when you have to manually clean the drainage at the floor. Simply doing it until the plumbers finally come is hard enough.

Was about to say the same thing. Made me shiver thinking about it

I remember one day I was on bar 2 but we didn’t have any mobiles at the time and someone was complaining about the cold bar sink not draining. So I just rolled up my sleeves, reached in, and pulled out the fruit and stuff at the bottom. My shift said, “You know when a person reaches blindly into a sink to clean out the drain that they’ve seen some shit” 🤣🤣🤣
420catloveredm 17 points 2y ago
Wait what??? I’ve been doing this with the sinks at work basically since I started. We already know what’s in them so it doesn’t seem that gross.

Interesting that you call it bar 2, at our store it was always drive bar (main bar) and front bar (secondary bar) not anything major, just interesting to know how other stores address it since I always assigned positions using this wordage. There was also cold bar which I guess is more what you’re referring towards, that drain was always the worst to clean.
Roolita 7 points 2y ago
They’re probably cafe only. We have a similar set up where bar 1 is for mobile orders and bar 2 for cafe.
NervosaNervous 3 points 2y ago
Nope we have a drive thru. We just refer to them as Bar 1 is for Drive Thru and Bar 2 is for Cafe, Mobile, & Deliveries.

I was a nurse many moons ago and the teenagers gag as I put my hand down the clogged cold bar sink and pull out wads of fruit and frap chips! Sweeties, if I can clean up human body "garbage" this is a walk in the park. Love my kiddos, they keep me young!
NervosaNervous 1 points 2y ago
Lol yep! I’ve cleaned up human vomit and other bodily fluids many, many times before. Nothing phases me.

Excellent meme. Well done! I dont work at Starbucks but damn if I relate. BTW thank you all for working through this garbagefire, and I apologize for all the rude fucks (pre-covid as well). I havent had SB since Feb and damn if I don’t appreciate y’all even more.

Technically I work at a “Tarbucks” — the Starbucks inside of a Target — and let me tell you, some people are the absolute worst, but it’s compliments like yours that stand out!!
Tlw91 6 points 2y ago
Oooffff i feel that.
sparkytheboomman 6 points 2y ago
Purely out of curiosity, what brings you to a subreddit for starbucks baristas if you don’t work at starbucks?
xenotiff 17 points 2y ago
I’ve made a few friends through SB, the culture is interesting. I also like to read about what the baristas dislike/like as far as customer requests & behavior. That way I avoid being an ass or making rediculous requests. If it’s weird I’m here, just let me know. I can leave.
queenofdehydration [OP] 10 points 2y ago
Please stay!!! Love the support!
sparkytheboomman 5 points 2y ago
Oh nah, not weird. Just piqued my interest, really. Thanks for not being an ass!
xenotiff 2 points 2y ago
Anytime. ;)

If I see you put berries in that drain I will yank you off bar and put you on POS until you learn how to pour out a refresher and get all those berries in the drink.
ih8yogurt 2 points 2y ago
Actually scratch that. I don’t wanna give up my pos and be put on bar
ih8yogurt 2 points 2y ago
IF ONLY WE DID THAT

Counterpoint: One fruity boi vs one long fingey
queenofdehydration [OP] 2 points 2y ago
idk i feel like fruity boi’s odds are better most of the time
Rough-Ad-9379 2 points 2y ago
Fruity boi has more than nine friends.
sweetcerulean 5 points 2y ago
My personal favorite is scooping out all the berries then gifting them into an unsuspecting barista's open hand saying "sink placenta!"
VentiEggBite 3 points 2y ago
My store calls it the sink drink/sinkgria
