Very Berry Refresher Discontinued? (self.starbucksbaristas)

submitted by LilacFlores

In our group chat this morning, one of my SSV stated that in the weekly update the Very Berry Refresher has been discontinued starting today? Can anyone give any more information about that as I don’t work today and I want to know before I go into my next shoft.

Afaik there was an issue with the berries and they gave up

Dansterman54 47 points 1y ago

They said something about planning on discontinuing it in Spring or summer of next year but with the berries being recalled they just decided to discontinue the whole drink now

Does this mean they will bring back cool lime or valencia orange 😤😤. But in another note did Starbucks change manufacturers because I noticed when the temporarily discontinued items came back, they tasted a lot different

poetixvirgo 21 points 1y ago

They can do away with this and the kiwi starfruit. People only care about the açaí or mango dragonfruit. Now what I really wish they’d do away with is the damn inclusions and pitchers idea when we have no space to store it

Its funny we just brought it back and now we’re taking it away again

aaronbdancer 11 points 1y ago

The update said what we have in store has to be marked out and trashed by the 12th. And no plans to bring it back

jackv28 5 points 1y ago

My store has like 8 boxes left

kitkat828 3 points 1y ago

I'm in a licensed store and my weekly update said nothing about the VBH??

katthekickass 2 points 1y ago

Same here!! Saw this post yesterday, had to double check on storelink today but I didn’t see anything about this - would anyone mind sharing more information? Would hate to sell something we’re not supposed to!

Wait, you get the weekly update at licensed stores? Where? I've just been coming here to figure out what's going on

kitkat828 1 points 1y ago

Yes. There's a link on our homepage for dept specific areas and on the sbux page a weekly update is posted every Monday/Tuesday. Has the sbux and our company logos on it.

In our shift meeting today we discussed that we will use whatever we have in store and no longer order anymore… it was going to be discontinued in spring 2022 but due to the recall of the blackberry inclusions it was decided that it can be discontinued immediately

The berries taste different and so does the drink. It’s quite sad. Mango dragonfruit it is 😒

galadrielgal23 3 points 1y ago

The berries were recalled?! For what?!?

[deleted] 6 points 1y ago

Product quality control issue. We were told to mark out and discard any blackberries we have

spudmcloughlin 2 points 1y ago

there were stems in the bags

EdgelordMcMemester 1 points 1y ago

I know it ain't your fault but waaaaaa

EdgelordMcMemester 1 points 1y ago

I don't care about stems, I LOVED that drink.

DreaRomi 2 points 1y ago

It’s better without the berries anyway wtf

ckt1138 2 points 1y ago

The only good refresher, damn.
I'm sure it's going to be replaced by some garbage only teenagers like

Fit-Ferret9380 2 points 1y ago

so upset about this.

Bieb 2 points 1y ago

Valencia is coming

Several-Government82 -7 points 1y ago

The berries had a recall but we still get the juice

taebunz 4 points 1y ago

Nope stores are supposed to get rid of the refresher now by the end of this week. They were planning on discontinuing Very Berry early next year but decided to trash it early due to poor sales and the whole berry issue. It was in the weekly update this morning.

kitkat828 2 points 1y ago

This is why I'm concerned about licensed stores not receiving any information on it in our weekly update. I've rechecked it daily and even the copy my DM emailed didn't mention anything about VBH

taebunz 2 points 1y ago

I wonder why they're neglecting to inform licensed stores about certain information especially when it's important. Because they would be selling old juice and also customers will still think that VBH is being sold and will most likely argue at corporate stores about it.

Your SSV needs to read the weekly update. It’s just the berries that had to be marked out. 🙄

electricblackjack 11 points 1y ago

They updated it in this weeks (Dec 6th) update that the drink has been discontinued and needs to be trashed on the 12th.

From what my sm said last week it's not discounted just a issue with quality control

aaronbdancer 14 points 1y ago

No it’s officially discontinued

irritablegarlic 6 points 1y ago

the berries had a quality control issue last week, this week the new weekly update says they’re getting rid of the drink entirely.

Aliciarox11189 6 points 1y ago

Wtf they need to bring back the cool lime -- they just introduced it overseas and it's a huge hit there (like it was here)

irritablegarlic 2 points 1y ago

seriously! 110% should trade out very berry and kiwi for cool lime and valencia orange, I wouldn’t be as upset if they did that.
