Bbbbyg-siobhan [OP] 8 points 2y ago

Wait you guys get mats??

cringeqween13 3 points 2y ago

8?! My store has 3 yet the floor is always a mess.

The mats at my store look like that ….until you flip them over 🤢

We just recently took our mats to the car wash to detail clean the mats. I highly recommend having your SM schedule someone non-coverage and trying it!

Bbbbyg-siobhan [OP] 4 points 2y ago

Yeah I def cheated and didn’t clean the bottoms but I stayed an extra 45 minutes to do the tops and the lil slits so that was enough for me

PandaVike 6 points 2y ago

I'm just envious that you have mats

Bbbbyg-siobhan [OP] 3 points 2y ago

My old store didn’t and it fucking sucked

PandaVike 4 points 2y ago

My current SM is trying to order mats; the SM prior to her threw all of them out simply because he didn't like them. My current SM says that was ridiculous and keeps trying to order at least a couple for us.

MY SM AT MY OLD STORE DIDNT LIKE THEM CAUSE THEY GOT DIRTY! Like what??? That’s not for you to decide girly they’re for us baristas who are on the floor 45+ hours a fucking week

PandaVike 5 points 2y ago

The SM at my previous store threw ALL the mats away, arguing that they didn't help with back/foot pain. When one of our older partners mentioned she was having increased back pain without the mats, the SM then went and bought worse floor mats for the one partner (she was only on reg); still never conceded that, since she was never on the floor, she couldn't speak to if they helped or not. That old SM was... special.

Our mats have been sitting outside on the sidewalk for like 3 weeks 😬

wait my store doesn’t have mats wtf

I wish we used mats at my store. My SM refuses. It makes those 8 hour shifts much harder on my legs. We also have had plenty of people completely wipe out (even with non-slips on), including myself! I have brought it up with our SM a few times and she always has an excuse. Our DM comes in and also says nothing about it, though she normally has other critiques that are small. I just don’t get it.

lol i just spent two and a half hours in the parking lot the other day powerwashing the mats. i couldn’t get them as clean as i’d have liked, but holy shit, the grime was real

Those wouldn't be clean for long with my clumsy self. 🤣
