Lol last year's spring training 🤣🤣

The Hobart that magically became a dishwasher instead of a sanitizer... XD

We were told not to use the Hobart on the pitchers because the temps were enough to make the plastic brittle....at least that is what they told us when the valves kept cracking and breaking.

then either you have time to clean them or you have a good dishwasher. most of have neither

Must be nice. Couldn't be my store 😌

Go ahead and downvote me because your stores are gross.

It definitely does though. There needs to be enough staff for someone to be able to stay off the floor and do the dishes.

Whenever there's no one available to do dishes until close, at 9, the only way to get out on time is to do the dishes "lazy". Or we get in trouble for staying over our time.

I don't think my store even has blue sponges any more. I've been using towels to scrub the dishes...

When you're busting out seven or eight customers while also trying to get your closing list finished, it's not laziness when you're only one person and a large workload. Don't be so quick to assume the situation. A lot of places are understaffed. The mentality that is given off is the reason nobody wants to work. I make sure my work area is cleaned and everything is ready for the opener.

Like the blue spray stuff or the blue soap water. I tried the blue soap water we get for the dishes and it never seems to come off

A microfiber also works super well in place of a blue scrubby if your store is short on them that week!

The round blue scrubby? That looks like a toilet brush?

Lmao we don't even have srubbies. We have nothing to scrub our dishes with. We're the busiest store in our district and probably bring in the most money and can't have something as simple as scrubbies.

my personal preference is the cafiza tablets. that shit works wonders. especially on the metal brewer!!! (not the urn, the part you put the grinds in)

My store manager said we can’t use the white magic erasers on food contact surfaces because there is fiberglass in them. Anyone else hear this?

That's literally exactly what we're not supposed to use them for. They make the pitchers stain more easily and harbor bacteria in the microabrasions left behind. They also leave behind microscopic particles of the polymer they're made of, which isn't food safe, inside those same abrasions.

This stain won't develop if they're briefly scrubbed each night, given a more thorough scrubbing once a week, or wiped out with a sanitizer cloth. Microfiber snags grime so well and its actually meant to touch our food safe equipment. Sponges in the dish pit are disgusting in their own right, but especially when they're not even food safe/render the dishes they're used on not food safe.

While these do work well, the polymer in them isn't food safe and they subsequently shouldn't be used on food contact surfaces.

Damn you guys close at 9? We close at 730 and leave at 815. Closing shifts are 5.75 hours as to not allow lunches

How long do you let them soak for? I usually do floors and other tasks when closing and never really have time in the day to clean the pitchers.

Wouldn't do that because restroom cleaner isn't food safe.

U smart

We had a whole training a couple weeks ago that confirmed it is indeed, a dishwasher.

However, this now means people just throw it right in there barely rinsed off. This also does nothing.

Imagine being so confidently wrong.

oops

I once worked at a store and there was literally mold around the drain of the ice 🤢 I lifted the thing that holds the ice and I was like yoooo do you not clean this??? And they were like oh.. no we just pour hot water 😳. I was soooo disgusted

Probably because their store is gross 🤫 I always like to go the extra mile for other stores and clean at places they normally forget so that it gets done. I know it wont be my problem in the end, but still
