How often do you all change your plexis ? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by mulderufo13
My shifts want us to only change our plexis once a week (the fruit bowls etc) the syrup containers every two weeks (the pumps get cleaned daily) I feel like this isn’t correct? There can’t be any way it’s sanitary enough. Idk

i understand the plexis as the plexi glass between me and the customer, and the fruit bowls as just like... inclusion containers so know if it has some drink element in it, bare minimum is daily. sauce pumps and containers should be every time you replace them (4 pumps through cleanser, sani, water is enough, take apart is either nightly or clean play only), syrups should be cleaned daily (pretty sure the plastic pumps are single use, most stores i've worked hit them with hot water every day). inclusion bowls/containers have always been switched daily at my store, but 5 days max from the first day you use it. clean any glass/plexiglass separating you from someone at least twice daily.

They should all be cleaned daily as a part of breakdown. Every store does that at a different time but for my store its a part of opening procedures. All pumps (wm, chai, mocha etc), sauce conatiners (mocha, pumpkin), inclusion containers, and syrup holders should be cleaned with warm soapy water, rinsed and then sanitized. If your shifts aren't, speak with your sm. If your sm isn't, speak with your dm.

Unless we’re thinking of two totally different things, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the plexis get changed..

I think op is referring to the little plastic containers that hold stoppers and stir sticks, teas, etc.

The syrup containers, that hold white mocha, chai etc and the fruit inclusions, things like that. At my store we call them plexis I’m not sure the exact term for them. So I do apologize

Oh god every two weeks for syrup containers? That’s disgusting. Those should be cleaned every time the sauce or syrup runs out, along with the pumps.

I clean them when I’m in charge of cleaning them out and change them. It annoys me so much /: idk it use to be a daily thing for everything and then one day I came in and it was like that

Oh snap yea we change those pretty much every day if not every time they need to be refilled bc we usually prep a bunch of white mocha/pumpkin/mocha etc. each night
