Who over ordered?

The shelf looks fantastic! I do have a question though... What are the (I think) stickers for?
plushiequeenaspen [OP] 31 points 2y ago
I quit corporate a while ago and went to licensed. The stickers are something target requires; they have date recieved, manufacturer's expiration, date opened, and product expiration (after opening)

The date recieved info is actually pretty helpful bc we've been receiving a LOT of product that expires *before* what we already have on hand does. We've submitted a couple complaints already about the warehouse/distributor not rotating their product properly but it's still happening. We already had blonde espresso that expires in mid August, but today recieved blonde that expires in early July. I ordered a case of LCS because all that we have goes out next week. Well all the LCS that came in today expires the day before what we already had which kinda defeated the point

OooOoOoohhhh, okay. That makes a lot of sense haha thank you for answering my question! I was very confused for a second!

I can see how those stickers would be useful though. It is kinda of weird that a lot of your product expires so soon but I think a lot of our product also expires around July... Well, I hope you start recieving better dated products soon!

Well part of what happened is that someone who rarely works in starbucks did the order like three months ago because literally all but three people were out sick or on requested time off and that person ordered wayyyyyyyyyy too much and we've been trying to use through all that, so we haven't gotten in certain products more recently. Part of the problem is they're literally sending us old product. Back in November/December I think it was we actually received things that were already expired.

So anyway we haven't needed to order certain things until recently, and what they send when we do order expires pretty soon. I have an entire cart full of LCS that expires next week smh between what's left from three months ago and what came in today (we only go through two or three LCS each month; most people here prefer classic or unsweetened)

Damn, that sucks... Either way, at least half of the product you have probably would have been thrown out anyways if that makes you feel any better πŸ˜…

probably a result of lower sales from the pandemic. In my corporate store we've been experiencing the same thing with inconsistent and soon expiration dates since last July.

I also work at Tarbucks (also from corporate store) and we have the same issue. We actually got sent expired butter croissants a couple weeks ago. πŸ₯πŸ₯πŸ₯πŸ₯

0.0 you work at a target that has blonde?? Does that mean you have two mastrenas?! (I was at a baby target Starbucks so we never had blonde til I moved over to corporate. )
plushiequeenaspen [OP] 1 points 2y ago
Yep we have two mastrenas and nitro
deeciphered 2 points 2y ago
We barely had a working mastrena. It constantly overheated 😭

The stickers are great. The exp dates are so tiny on the bottles. I used to go through the shelves and stuff that was expiring in less than a month, I wrote in sharpie half an inch high, EXP xx/xx/xx. People don't FIFO.

We had the same for a long time. Then an issue arose as to who was supposed to reorder them. We ran out in January. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ Nobody cares anymore. Lol
