Clean play (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by richayy420
Is it normal for your store to go without clean play for 1-3+ months? Two of the stores I worked for skipped out on clean play a lot in the last few months and even 2020. I assume due to cutting hours, but I love to clean and love a clean store.

Isn’t it supposed to be done once a week ? 🧍🏻♀️

Pretty sure that's in the book as monthly as far as cleaning cycle goes, but emptying could be weekly

youre lucky! Ive been doing clean play non stop since I was hired in September. It can get draining especially if they don't change out the people and we do it in a full 8 hour shift. 3:30-11pm. too much

I wouldn’t consider myself lucky, I normally close and never mind the extra hour and a half it takes to finish a clean play. Extra hours & un interrupted social time with my co workers as we clean it’s kinda therapeutic. But clean play past 11pm seems ridiculous.

It gets really tiring doing it every week and today we have it and I’m on my 5th day of work. Exhausted!

I was used to doing it weekly & I completely agree and have the same feelings as you if my clean play lasted till 11pm. Luckily I was out no later than 7pm!

you’re supposed to do it 1-2 times a week but it depends on how many ppl are available

I dont think it's normal, but I've experienced the same thing. It kind of concerns me because we aren't maintaining equipment like we should :/

My manager is very strict on cleaning mid day so we’re a clean store but clean play is sometimes skipped.
dodofishman 3 points 2y ago
Yeah like we're pretty clean, but things like the nitro system, back of fridges, ice machine, and water filters get skipped. It's really difficult to try to get those things done while we're open and can't really spare people being off the floor.

Ice machines we clean daily & drains are twice a week
dodofishman 2 points 2y ago
I mean like the BOH ice machine, where you completely empty it and run the green cleaner through the machine.

The only time we don’t do it is when we can’t have two people stay.
