confession ; sometimes i fart near the sink drain so the vile stench of rotting fruit inclusions and mocha slop masks the scent of my bowels (self.starbucksbaristas)

Our grease trap isn’t airtight so the whole boh reeks awfully of ass to the point where ppl avoid being back there. Perfect place to rip ass.

hautsause 25 points 2y ago

Same! When the plumbers come to open it and you see the big quivering mass of rotted cream and mocha the smell really adds to the atmosphere of sad back room.

I almost fell into the grease trap at one of the stores I worked at, because the opening to it was right behind the door to the back room. The stench made me pause long enough to check where my foot was about to be.

Funny enough, several years after my near miss, someone actually fell into the grease trap at that store I heard he had to burn his clothes because they smelled so awful

I used to work at a boutique next to a WingStop and it literally drove customers out the door when they took their grease trap out back to the metal box for dumping. It was the most god awful rancid diaper smell x1,000 and it filled the store. Ladies did not Wanna shop for cardigans with that thickening the air 💀

ladytaters 2 points 2y ago

I think the worst part is that "deodorizer" they use afterwards that smells like rotting baby powder to synergize with the rancid diaper reek.

Why does Starbucks have a grease trap?

princesscupcakes69 4 points 2y ago

Cream and sugary sauces being dumped down the drain

AldiWillYouMarryMe 1 points 2y ago

Ah! thanks.

get this: our grease trap flooded the whole store one day, but they still made us come in for our shifts in the afternoon. whole place smelled like that, had to shut down the store and we all went home within an hour of being there. even with 1 inch of water behind the bar

furry_anus_explosion 2 points 2y ago

Haha sounds awful I’ve been there. Favorite memory of starbucks is when the grease trap broke during cleanplay at midnight and the back of house flooded with the moldy milk slush that came flooded everywhere. Guess who gets paid $10/hr and had to clean it all up :)) happened again the very next day. We are currently at the point where we had to remove the drain basket from that sink because the grease traps randomly starts spewing out shit that clogs the basket and leads to floods.

One day I was noticing that familiar scent and I was dumping gallons of hot water down the drain. Nothing help so then I decided to try running water down all the sinks that drain into that drain. Hooooooooly hell. The stench and black tar that was released from our blender pitcher rinse sink was nauseating. It took around 30 liters of hot water from the brewer to clear it and we had to open the doors and DT window to get the smell out. It was probably the most disgusting experience in my 9 years at Sbux.

Remi-Chan 16 points 2y ago

Oh god. I did that once with our spoon wash sink and it was the worst.i can't imagine the bpr sink. Id actually die

potterlyfe 11 points 2y ago

It was just horrible. The main problem was the damn refresher inclusions! Even though we had a dedicated sink for cold bev pitchers, the frap pitcher rinser was way stronger and easier to use so I think all that crap just went down that drain and backed up in the plumbing.

moon_light523 6 points 2y ago

Refresher inclusions cause so many issues for the sinks....I feel like every other time I work the sink/drain gets clogged on the refresher/tea side

lilBalzac 55 points 2y ago

Yeah no kidding. It doesn’t help. What the heck do you eat? 2 of us are losing our eyebrows from the power of your gas. Please save that for when you do lobby slides from now on. We cannot take much more of it. -sincerely, the team

vegan-trash 36 points 2y ago

I would just walk through the lobby to “check on customers” and let it slide as I passed through

indynyx 14 points 2y ago

My favourite place to crop dust..

Js_On_My_Yeet 34 points 2y ago

We all go by the mop sink cuz that smells like swamp ass

BlackHollowGhoul24 9 points 2y ago

I never thought to do that, that's a good idea, thanks 👍

Js_On_My_Yeet 4 points 2y ago

Cheers 🤙🏼

OLDMAN8331 15 points 2y ago

Always when I'm grinding coffee - Although I did "cropdust" the lobby once during cafe walk.

emosweatshirt 13 points 2y ago

i just toot and walk away fast like im busy

caramel_machismo 13 points 2y ago

I thought my boyfriend posted this because he does the same thing

codeyumi 10 points 2y ago

Our grease trap broke once and my coworker thought I ripped one :(

hazeleyedgiirl 6 points 2y ago

When I was new, I was tasked with changing a trash can in the lobby that hadn't been changed in a hot sec. removed the bag, of course it had a hole, chunky white liquid spilled out, seconds later I caught a whiff and damn near passed out. A few seconds later, everyone behind the bars, even all the way in the back simultaneously were like "WHAT THE FUH IS THAT SMELL" cracked a couple doors, sprayed bleach, held my breath til it was gone.

Bruh.

faytyagami 5 points 2y ago

i do it by the dirty rags

nikkicarter1111 3 points 2y ago

Y’all need sink plungers. You can get them at the dollar tree even. Just plunge those sink drains once a week and the nasty gunk should come out into the floor drain tray.

Hyrokoyo923 3 points 2y ago

sounds like those drains need some love lol

bexbux 3 points 2y ago

i do it by the mop sink or in this far back corner that no one goes in. I know it looks weird as hell in the cameras

sandycat555 2 points 2y ago

Another reason to appreciate my former manager who was a drill Sargent but our drains were as clean and fresh as my home sink.

NaturalizedWerewolf 2 points 2y ago

Oh god I remember having to clean those drains. The horror.

Makorra45 2 points 2y ago

Hahahahhaha, I’m glad I’m not the only one who farts at work 😳👍🏼 🤣
