If you ever wash them all again take the time to slip knot the apron strings together! This will stop them from tangling up

You are a hero for doing what I assume was voluntary work.

Are u a SSV or SM OP?? Cuz my SM did this bcuz he got tired of them juss hanging up in the BOH, but if u are a barista doing that..sheeshhh they should give u sum typa pay for going out ur way to do so💯

I’m an SSV at a licensed store. Most of them are from old baristas or baristas that “lost them” thought it would be nice to just wash them just in case someone forgot theirs we would have clean extra ones. Like your SM though they were just thrown in the BOH and I just got tired of it lol

This is really sweet of you. Be careful you may be taken advantage of. I used to do this for my store and it became an expectation.

Or you could put up a roster and see how quickly everyone remembers to take their aprons home!
Mea-fae_Owl73 1 points 1y ago
I stopped long ago. When they build up again I tell partners unless it has a name badge or embroidery on it, it’s up for grabs. Need more aprons? Take the ones ppl leave behind for months.

This is a flat out no.. Everyone has their own aprons and they need to take them home and wash them themselves. Why does someone have to play mom?

Is this actually something that goes on in other stores. When we get a new partner they are given 2 new aprons to start and every so often we are supplied with new aprons so that we always look clean and professional. At this point I must own upwards of 40+ aprons. Also, all my managers have embroidered our aprons (obviously, there is a waiting period for new partners, now), I know that doesn't happen at all stores.

idk i feel like it's fine? we have a locker of a few extra aprons and hats just in case someone forgets. i cant remember anyone ever using one but it's good to have just in case
Torirock10 3 points 1y ago
well they’re most likely not used cuz they said extra. but yeah this is weird like don’t waste ur time with this bs

You guys don’t have dedicated people to take em and wash em weekly?
nonogender 6 points 1y ago
people wash their own aprons at least at my store and probably OP's as well
SiriusSprinkles9 5 points 1y ago
Our store has a service that comes and takes the dirty and leaves us bags of clean ones.
nonogender 1 points 1y ago

makmelaf17 1 points 1y ago
So it happens at more than my store... okay okay .

Me too

that's very sweet of you, man those things got tangled! if it helps, something I like for do when I'm assuming multiple aprons is to wrap the strings around my hands and then use a hair tie to make sure the loop stays together in the wash and doesn't get tangled 💕
