Don't have to FIFO if you don't have a chance to make whips until you run out. 🥲

I wanna slap it...
TJW351 [OP] 155 points 1y ago
If it makes you feel better, I dropped a whip lid in it and it stopped… then sloooowly sank before being swallowed by the Glob

Oh my god
genji2056 19 points 1y ago
Now to do it into a pitcher of mocha, and dunk your hand into the mocha/whip hand spa.

Mushing the coffee grounds in your hands though😫 that exfoliant hits different

I spray mine in the trash safes time cause you don't have to clean out the sink
cinnamondolcie 64 points 1y ago
also it clogs the drains and pipes apparently
ladytaters 28 points 1y ago
Whipping cream is 38% milk fat. Emptying whips into the sink will clog it because the fat coagulates and blocks the pipes... It's like pouring watered down bacon fat down a sink but it smells worse in the end.
PeachGreenTea__ 5 points 1y ago
What if clogging the sink is the goal?
ladytaters 1 points 1y ago
Then congratulations on being well on your way, and have you considered trying beef tallow next time?
krym32zamoon 3 points 1y ago
I ALWAYS tell people please don't spray it into the sinks. And yet. They always do. And I have to stop myself from screaming WHYYYY, every single time.

*I spray mine in the*

*Trash safes time cause you don't have*

*To clean out the sink*

Good bot!
Sirmarchboy22 23 points 1y ago
It's actually the standard wait to empty and clean them. I would know, I was written up for it last week :^)
arobynn_hamel 38 points 1y ago
Nah that's dumb asf to get wrote up for that
cookiemonstah87 18 points 1y ago
Makes sense to me. If the pipes get clogged, it takes time and money to unclog them.

Not that I agree with write-ups in general unless someone is straight up disobeying something, mind you. But I've known managers who effectively use write-ups as a teaching tool. Scare them with a write-up and they'll never do it wrong again. If it never happens again, it never happened, and we don't have a problem. This only works if the first write-up for an infraction is just documentation of a "verbal" warning, though.

Wait until the whips are empty?
Sirmarchboy22 12 points 1y ago
Yeah, emptying the whips into the trash is standard
bmm0528 6 points 1y ago
Do you know why? Just curious, I've never heard that before or seen anyone do it.
stormy-nights 13 points 1y ago
And you avoid fruit flies that way
bmm0528 37 points 1y ago
Might as well not make whips anymore. Everyone just puts cold foam on EVERYTHING now. They get upset when the whip on their mobile order from 30 mins ago melts but call it cold foam and OMG I'll take a trenta cold foam with cold foam on top.😂
kittykaty14 31 points 1y ago
My store goes through waaaaayyyy too much whip in a day for this to happen. Even though we try to stay on top of FIFO it doesn't usually matter. If it's on the floor it'll be used by the end of the day.
Buttafly_360 12 points 1y ago
Daam that sad aab...my SSV would never let tht slide🤦🏽‍♀ she stay on top of us FIFO'ing EVERYTHINGGGG🤦🏽‍♀🤦🏽‍♀

mmmm greasy sink
acnh1222 6 points 1y ago
So many people at my store can’t FIFO for their lives, I keep saying I want to make a competition out of it and then maybe people will finally take it seriously 😭 the amount of times we have multiple things open, nothing is dated, if things are dated then they’re dated wrong… I’d say 1/4 of the store is great at it and does it right every time, 1/4 knows all of the right things if you asked them but just chooses not to, and then the last 1/2 just straight up couldn’t tell you what FIFO even is
mushmushmushmus 6 points 1y ago
forbidden slime
Jaded_Fun_7133 6 points 1y ago
Dude I legit cannot open those without getting sprayed 🙄🙄🙄
pinkraisin 19 points 1y ago
You have to spray it all out before you remove the lid, if that's what you meant, or else it does spray at you
Jaded_Fun_7133 1 points 1y ago
I do maybe it’s not all out ??
bmm0528 3 points 1y ago
I point them down with hot water running over the tip so it kinda melts the whip as it empties and when nothing comes out then I open it while I'm still squeezing it. Maybe I'm just weak, but the pressure when it's full makes it too hard for me to open. Then I scrub tf out of my hands. I HATE the smell of whipped cream for some reason
puttybutty 2 points 1y ago
Hold the lever down when you twist open. You want to twist it open when the sound of air escaping stops
rascallytrashbergs 4 points 1y ago
Ohhhhhh I’d be up to my elbows in that shit
philosopher_cat_lady 3 points 1y ago
Definitely would have put that in the trash if I were you. It's Starbucks standard for some reason
user41984 3 points 1y ago
put your hand in it
mama_bibi 2 points 1y ago
I hate waste. Not even for the job. Like I dont care if they have waste. I care that those poor cows are being used and abuses just for us to waste milk. And for the many people starving while we throw food out daily.

It's just really sad to me. So on a deeper level please FIFO
Independent-Arm-642 2 points 1y ago
What does FIFO mean? I’ve never heard it as a Starbucks barista (only been one for a year)
4filth 4 points 1y ago
nobody told you about FIFO (first in first out)??
Independent-Arm-642 1 points 1y ago
No, but from what it sounds like it just sounds like common sense so that might be why they never told me?
_hipster_dog_ 2 points 1y ago
First In First Out

If you make a new batch or bring up more milk put it behind the product that is already there
