We were similarly out of a lot of shit, but the DM didn’t want to loose too much business so just closed the busiest store in the lil ecosystem that shares product in my area, and left my small store to burn. Let me tell you when I was writing the store walk I really told him that we NEEDED at least two more partners on the floor to effectively and efficiently take care of ours, the busiest store in a five mile radius’ and the other store down the street in even worse condition than ours’ business. I literally had a partner cry on her 10 in the bathroom.

This is when I want to throw an apron at the DM and say, “You don’t want to add more baristas, fine. You pick up where needed. It’s part of your job.”

Id put up a sign on the window in front of each register, and a laminated one on the drive thru order board.
Has your mgr called around to borrow from other stores?

we used to do this when we were out of a lot of stuff but no one reads the signs 😤 like any sign we put up ourselves, customers just ignore it

We're out of all of our milks and our ice machine stopped working, and we have no tea. I'm sending you all the good vibes, you can do it!

When we had a change in management we missed an order week, and ran out of espresso beans. That was a rough week.

My store was/is (I haven’t gone in yet today, but this is the list from last night). SAB, Venti Iced cups, Chai concentrate, chai tea bags, Earl grey, almondmilk, honey, peppermint, mocha, I’m on my last sleeve of grande iced cups, I have two sleeves of tall and Trenta iced cups, hazelnut, toffee nut, raspberry, honey blend, we never got our food order the night before so we didn’t have any breakfast sandwiches, paninis, or protein boxes left, and when I left there was one pair of the egg white and roasted red pepper egg bites.

Mmm. Perfect recipe for customers to scream at you like we control it.
