(Shouldn’t have to do this but) We put the green delivery stickers on the bottom of the panini bags for this reason.

That’s a great idea! I can’t imagine the cost of replacing all the floor sandwiches trumps the smaller cost of less glue or flimsier paper. Also to have to go back and slap a sticker on the bottom to prevent accidents is such a racket lol!

Right!! 100. We just have a stack already stickered and ready to go before peak

This happens several times a day at my store. I was running a panini from warming to drive thru when the sandwich just fucking fell through the bottom and went all over the floor.

At least 2/7 of my partner markouts hit the floor before they hit my mouth. I can’t afford to buy a remake with Starbys wages. Aaaaaand that’s capitalism, baby!

If it hits the floor you’re allowed to remake it lmao
SaltyWaitress 3 points 1y ago
That’s absolutely true. I’m just not paying for it to begin with, so I always feel like if I drop my sandwiches (this frequently) it’s a me-problem 😅

Why don't you just make another? Or use a plate?

Unfortunately I can relate

Yep. Happens all the time. Just depends on the shipment we get. When they do, I use the ticket tape to seal the bag and sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn’t. But our store only just got a working ice machine this week so we are not really goals or anything lol. I was shocked at what it’s like to blend a frappe with the right ice and not massive chunks from the grocery store.

At least 5 sandwiches met their demise on the floor last shift.

this used to happen for about 2 weeks straight about a month ago. it seems it was a huge manufacturing error. the bags are back to normal now though. although now that i mention it… has anyone noticed the design on the breakfast sandwich bag is sometimes black now instead of green??
tinydesthique 2 points 1y ago
yeah, we’ve had the same issue

Yeah we double the white panini bags with the brown pastry bags every time lol
