What’s in your apron pockets? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by deeciphered
I was wondering what you guys normally keep in your apron pockets?

Normally I have my car and house keys, a mini hand sanitizer, my phone, black and colored sharpies and an extra hair band or two in mine. Sometimes I have a normal pen to sign off on the Covid sheet.

I also try and keep my stylus with me for when I’m on DTO but I’m not entirely sure where it went.

Two to three name tags for various box cutting reasons, a half dried sharpie and empty salt and sweetener packets

Four sharpies in the right, four pens and shift keys in the left. All my bar garbage (sugar/salt packages, unneeded drink stickers etc) goes in the left too. My phone goes in my back pocket.

2 worry pets, an extra sharpie, a chalk marker, old hand warmer and the filling of a worry pet that the eye ripped off of. Sometimes a dry rag if I’m on bar.

Can I ask what a worry pet is?

They’re these little bean bag type things that have eyes on them that I keep in my apron and I use in place of a stress ball. One of the ones I keep at work is weighted and they give me something to hold and fidget with when I’m feeling overwhelmed or anxious.

A name tag, a crap ton of sharpies, a little lucky dragonfly that wards off negative energy, my phone and probably even more sharpies😂

I keep it minimal, one pen + one sharpie, and my airpods if i’m gonna be on dish duty.
deeciphered [OP] 3 points 2y ago
I wish I could do it. I have probably 15 sharpies

Yeah I have backup sharpies in my bag but I could never keep that many in my apron, i’d probably end up losing them all to other people lol.

Two different color sharpies, a small box cutter and my own chalk pen. Sometimes an extra hair tie or mini hand-sanitizer.

Things I find in there that I don't know when they got in my pockets like others said are empty salt/sugar packets, maybe a milk top and the occasional chunk of ice leaking through the pocket 😅
