They may not appreciate the work you're doing for them, unfortunately. But I do. Good on you for doing your best, even when you're not at your own store.

Urnex and restroom cleaner are my saving grace! Like it shouldn’t be brown, it will be silver or white again I promise!

I’m the only one that cleans in my store. I hate caring but I use this stuff for my drinks/food too

That is so nice of you to actually clean it for them. Considering how dirty it was,I am guessing they will not appreciate it and will not keep it up

The sanitize wipes clean soooo much! I also love the liquid disinfectant!

One thing that covering in other stores has taught me is that I will not be getting beverages at any other location. Seriously, I know we at my store were managed by someone with an obsessive cleaning tendency that defies even Sbux policy, but how hard is it to properly clean everything? we do it every day and some stores can’t even do it once a month without whining

Don’t clean their store for them that’s not your problem. Tell your store manager and she can share your experience with that store manager and if she doesn’t address it with her team QASA will :)

I run clean play at my store and didn’t know how to disassemble our ice machine and our grinder until like two days ago. And I’ve been leading clean play for months. I wish Starbucks had more training on cleaning, especially deep cleaning. I feel that alot of baristas aren’t really told the tools or how to deep clean and are really believing they’re doing their best. That’s really good of you to clean thoroughly even when not at your own store! Hopefully Starbucks will make a training session featuring the deep clean of the machines, and what to use/when.

Things like the magic eraser sponges leave little grooves and aren’t food safe, but they work wonders on the chalk signs. Urnex works really good for disassembling pumps fully and cleaning the metal milk steam things. Restroom cleaner is a life saver, but even regular sanitizer can do the trick on lots of places. Those sanitizer wipes remove tea stains really well too

i worked at another store recently and there was mold EVERY WHERE. even in the ice bin 🤢🤢🤢

If seems like they don’t using use the wash and sanitize located on the top, if they do, it wouldn’t stain like this. No need to urnex anything really.

I just spent 3 hours deep cleaning our store alone🙃🙃🙃🙃 I know your pain

my store looks like this. we all hate it being nasty, but we never have time to clean, so whenever i’m on cs i magic eraser the sink and clean the dishes really well, and same goes for the cup caddies. i don’t know why a lot of people say the baristas won’t appreciate you, that attitude assumes a lot about the stores situation, especially in my case where we all want to clean but literally never can.

Welp. Guess who will be checking their cup caddy next shift

What's the concentration of bleach you used? Like how much water

Bro I cleaned the bottom of our cup caddy like the wheels and stuff. The amount of MANGLED HAIR 😟🤮 but now it rolls SO much better

Bleach is not a food safe cleaner and should not be used in sinks or on dishes!

So like a travel barista? Hope you are making more moneu

our sinks in our store recently got stained like this, definitely gonna try this tomorrow night when i got in

Hey guys, fellow barista here, what’s the best or most effective way to use urnex to clean sinks and other stuff? Thanks for all input 🥰

I feel the same and do the same. I once got a brown sink to be silver again, and it was so satisfying but also gross.

I’m the same way. I gotta clean it😭

They need magic erasers

I have been the clean play shift for the last 3 years, specifically so my store never looks like that.

About second time working at another store and it was drive thru only, they had just experienced a manager transition, the previous i guess let it fall out, let me just say. I’ve never seen a ceiling covered in fruit flies. There was no exposed ceiling, all fruit flies. I almost walked out on my shift. Disgusting
