SM kept throwing out blender components because they seemed worn out. I asked if I could have them for a project at my house. I finished my project. (reddit.com)

*cue late ‘90s VHS preview music* You wouldn’t illegally download a blender…!

I have a starbucks cafe wooden chair in my kitchen. It was sitting in our storage space and I asked my manager if I could have it and she said let’s give it a year and see if it’s still there. It was.

one time a homeless man threw a table at us while we were working, and the DM let me take home the table! Fixed the split and good as new! coffee table with a story.

It’s amazing how much Starbucks throws away. I’ve seen coworkers take tables, chairs, blenders, shakers, steaming pitchers. All in good condition but the manager didn’t want the space used up

our store has only been open for maybe 4 years and we have gotten new blenders for sure since then and they are those exact bases

I'm seriously happy to see this. Stop trashing the world. If you can recycle reuse so be it. Great use of skill and knowledge. My dad used to always pickup TV's on the crubs years ago just to do this and give it or sell it for cheap to those who needed it.

This seriously is awesome imo

My store was throwing one out. Just needed a $30 replacement part. I gently placed it near the dumpster and retrieved at the end of my shift. My mom now has a fancy smoothie blender. Amazon came in clutch for the part. It’s amazing to me what we throw away. I also have two massive leather chairs from our cafe remodel at my house. They’re so comfy. And for FREE.99 I have no complaints. Just needed thoroughly cleaned and the leather conditioned.

When my store went through its re-model I took anything and everything I was allowed to. Right now my desk is a SB's cafe conference table, 6 chairs, have 5-6 trip-lites from our DT and 2 battery backups lol. I took one set of patio furniture. All of which was going to be thrown out. Insane!

Good project. I give you an A+

I have this too! Saved it from the dumpster after a remodel. Anytime a handle broke off a pitched I’d swipe it. Even have a milk frother. It’s the best thing in my kitchen.
