Yeah, the cleaning powder we use has a very strong, distinct bleach smell to it. But each day there’s a specific station we’re supposed to focus on for cleaning and there’s seven of them, so depending on how each store schedules the cleanings it’ll fall on the same day of each week. Like at ours, espresso and hot drinks are Monday; cold beverages, nitro, and cold brew every Tuesday; and Sundays are for catching up on whatever we missed. Now with our specific nitro tap, it automatically schedules the cleanings it needs and they may or may not align with our cleaning schedule and for this specific one we have to complete it within an hour of it popping up

A well cleaned station should be tested by the baristas to make sure this doesn't happen to customers but unfortunately will if they are pressed for time or multi-tasking. It's easy to for get small things but quality and safety is top priority.

Yep all stores should clean their cold brew/nitro cold brew lines and tanks

Edit: sorry I misread. Most clean days in my area at least are done on Wednesdays after close..
