I wear combat boots to work (so they feel), so i would likely scrape them off and stomp them. But only cause we have bad enough fly problems and that close to the door would be bad.

Have y'all been throwing away a fuck ton of sammies?
only time i've seen a bin full of maggots like this is when someone threw away a bunch of meat - not at Starbucks, it was a personal bin (not mine tho thank fuck).
Harder to do with starbucks but once its empty you just hose it down and let it dry, it *should* be okay after that. Problem is, Starbucks doesn't usually have garden hoses outside and the thought of someone bringing that back inside got me kinda nauseous ngl lmao

yeah so we toss the pastry case every night. and people (customers) will dump their personal trash.. (i.e. half empty lattes) in our bins. that in addition to the heat and humidity of our location…. perfect lil breeding ground. The secondary problem is now we don’t wanna put bags in the bins… so the birds are breaking into the bags and throwing trash EVERYWHERE. it’s super fun. everything is super fun.

Yep, I was lucky when I was a barista, my Starbs in Texas was in a shopping center so we had a massive dumpster. If there were ever creepy crawlies in it, I never knew.
Genuinely cannot imagine leaving a regular bin like this out in this nasty heat, full of pastries and sandwiches and stuff. I mean the smell alone must be awful even without the bugs... yikes.

We have a padlock on our trash can so customers can't throw random stuff in the outside can. Everything we put in it is on a bag and it has stopped being as gross.

Dude ours was way worse than this. We share with a poke place and they toss their trash without even looking and there’s always raw fish, noodles, rice and chopsticks all over the floor and you can’t even walk to the dumpster after a while. There were hundreds of flies and I can’t even imagine the maggots
