There’s a lot of inconsistencies with this but I believe standard is as follows:

All venti, all extra hot, and all drinks with hot water as a main or partial component and brewed coffee get sleeved.

Regular tall/grande steamed milk/alt milk/juice drinks do not get sleeved.

Short drinks always get double cupped except when kids temperature.

Stoppers are only standard when drinks are put in trays.

Sleeves and stoppers always available upon request.

if it has hot shit in it it’s gets a sleeve. idc what the standard is, it’s basic safety

Does anyone else find it weird that starbucks does all this to reduce plastic waste and yet out milk jugs just go in the trash? To me this would be an obvious thing to recycle ??? Why don’t they recycle them ?

When we run out 😝

pretty sure the standard is to always sleeve hot drinks as it’s a liability thing. but as for the stoppers you’re supposed to let the costumer ask for them and not automatically give it or offer since corporate wants to be more “environmentally “

Tall and grande hot drinks no sleeves unless requested venti automatically come with sleeves and stoppers are upon request. At least that’s how it is at my store

idk why ppl are saying not to sleeve hot talls and grandes.

at my store (and i believe in my training 2 years ago too), we sleeve all tall/grande/venti hot drinks and double cup shorts/ any drink with hot water (hot water drinks get both double cupped and sleeved). Stoppers we put in all mobile hot drinks, drinks going in trays, and by request

Edit: spelling

Idc what the standard is for sleeves, I ALWAYS put them. I went to one of my local stores when it was still cold out and got a venti extra hot pwm and they didn’t put a sleeve on it and I damn near dropped it bc it was so hot to touch 😭

At my store we stop all hot drinks and sleeve venti size

The store I work at I was taught to sleeve all hot drinks and double cup the short and hot teas and ask if they want a stopper unless it’s mobile then it automatically gets a stopper. Im in IL btw, idk if that makes a difference but yeah not sure if this is true for all IL stores but it is for the one I work at!

*Also double cup any extra hot drinks, or if your hot water is over a certain temperature (which can be different between different stores)

I was told sleeves on venti hot cups, sleeves on all drinks made with hot water and extra hot, (short size hot water + xhot drinks double cup)… I was never told stoppers were standard except for deliveries.

Up until last year, the standard was to sleeve venti hot drinks and all teas and americanos. Everything else doesn't get a sleeve. Stoppers are only on request as far as I'm aware.

For me it’s like this
For any short drink or anything with Hot water subbing milk, will get sleeved (tall, grande,venti) and double cupped, this includes short.
Everything else with milk as the main component will get 1 cup and 1 sleeve.

U guys have stoppers?!

Bar area: If it’s mobile, u should provide a sleeve or sleeve the drink and there’s no more stoppers or stickers at my store so we don’t stopper it. But if ur store has it, stopper it.

If it’s a cafe order, u can provide a sleeve or sleeve it, stoppers not needed unless they want one. If it’s a cold drink, u should ask if they want a straw etc.

If ure doing hot coffee, hot teas— always sleeve the drinks

ALL hot drinks get sleeves. ALL hot drinks with HOT WATER get double cupped and sleeves. Stoppers I've been taught are technically standard but no one wants them so I only put it on if the customer wants. I ask them "would you like a stopper in your drink?" And 90% of the time they say no. But if they say yes? Stopper it is.
