expired food (self.starbucksbaristas)

you know that feeling when you’ve had a bad day at work and it was nonstop busy and understaffed and so you eat 3 chocolate cake pops that were going out on your way home?

yeah, me too

until my SM told us it’s theft if we eat expired food without paying for it. even if it’s going in the trash.

now i just eat my tears
greyplains 35 points 2y ago
The secret ingredient is crime.

S/N: if your SM catches you nicking food, proclaim it's a mess up, a leave behind, or for science, they'll pretty much leave you alone.

Or tell them its a partner sample XD
Jeffuk88 33 points 2y ago
Yeah it's theft and you can get fired.

But if you put it all in a bag, tie it, throw it lightly into the outdoor garbage, then grab it on your way out.

Garbage diving isn't illegal (at least in canada) and you're not breaking any policy once its out the store

That's what you get when you work through barista, supervisor to manager 😅

Ur SM does that??? Mine doesnt care they offer us the out of date food at the end of the day😭
Erbearlee 8 points 2y ago
Same. We have a bin in the back that we put it all in, clearly labeled “partner food bin” that my SM created. It’s fair game until it gets donated.

My SM feeds me broken cake pops all day cuz she knows what keeps me going 😂😂

It's a brownie or coffee cake warmed with caramel drizzle for me. 🙃
kdotye 19 points 2y ago
Ooh try a coffee cake with a butter on top when you warm it
oc_ua 10 points 2y ago
I bet that's amazing! Cheese danishes with cinnamon dolce topping sprinkled on them before warming them are also a great option.

sometimes it’s a pack of vanilla bean scones for me 🥲

Brownie with the drizzle and some whipped cream...almost makes it all worth it
Balamamama 22 points 2y ago
I admit to nothing... but the extra pounds speak for themselves.

Eating expired food while working at starbs is a universal experience that we can all relate to, and I love it
hellopie7 1 points 2y ago
Thankfully, I've been told that it's not *Expired* per say yet, but we toss it for ***freshness***.

Brownie Warmed drizzled with caramel and topped off with smoked salt.
VrginMobile 6 points 2y ago

One time I was on DTO and DTR alone for an hour during the morning rush kuz the SM was a tard and didn’t know how to staff properly. Nevertheless it went smoothly all things considered (I was with the company for 5 years at the time, so plenty of experience) and after the rush when I FINALLY got help, I slid to the floor at the DT window and without thinking, I stuffed a whole lemon loaf in my mouth, exhausted. I realized how silly I looked when my fellow partners were cracking up at me. It was hilarious.

Also during those shifts a pastry item would randomly “break” or “get messed up” some how in the middle of a shift and I’d cut it into little pieces for all of us to snack on 😂
biscuit1033 [OP] 2 points 2y ago
ahhhh yes, how a pastry will “accidentally” fall on the ground and become unsellable 😅
my_name_is_in_use123 2 points 2y ago
I ate a whole pack of those lemon cake pops once 😂
