Those LTO pumps are not correct

vegan-trash 35 points 10m ago

Neither is the big WM. Does almost 2x the normal dosage

clouds183 -24 points 10m ago

the white mocha pump is fine no? its just in a larger container but still the short pump no?

g_pvp_3 16 points 10m ago

no, this is all wrong. white mocha should be in the smaller containers with the smaller pumps , not the big ones where we put mocha in. and dark caramel has to go in one just like the white mocha, but with its specific pump that says dark caramel. like white mocha. and the pumpkin should be in the same containers we use for mocha as well. whatever u call them lol

rajeno 7 points 10m ago

They’re called fountain jars! (Google image search will confirm this, but you have to scroll down past the… jars that are actual fountains)

[deleted] 9 points 10m ago

no, it's using the long mocha pump.

clouds183 4 points 10m ago

does a long white mocha pump even exist?

BusyLeek2351 8 points 10m ago

I used to work at a target and did our ordering I can walk you through it on the device if you need help, you’re allowed to order it yourself and other items that you need. Just have whoever breaks the pallet down know

vodwalyn 6 points 10m ago

Most stores can’t order anything because of a massive shortage of metal

59625962 [OP] 5 points 10m ago

Is it close enough to what it should be? My boss (target) wouldn't know how to fix it.

dazedandconfusedhere 57 points 10m ago

Both dark caramel and pumpkin get metal pumps with specific gauging collars

Chromosomes23 3 points 10m ago

Our store has 2 different dark caramel gauging collars is it the 2.0 one we are suppose to have on?

M_Karli 30 points 10m ago

They fix it by ordering the correct pumps.

Eta* I worked in a Tarbucks, it literally says metal PS pump or something along those lines. Just prepare for the ass chewing from district or regional SB managers when they come through

Eta* ass chewing due to NOT ‘maintaining standard’ with the pumps bc as others said, it throws off dispensing measurements

CBukowski808 12 points 10m ago

Not at all. Hopefully you’re only using like half pumps. Those pumps do like double what they’re supposed to be. Close would be using the the metal pumps like the one you’re using for White Mocha.

59625962 [OP] 2 points 10m ago

We use full pumps always. We didn't eve start using the cold bar half pumps until fairly recently !!

nonogender 7 points 10m ago

dark caramel is supposed to be dosed wayyyy less than the pump you have on there. yall really need the metal pumps. those ones are for pistachio only (although the pistachio pump is the most annoying pump ever bc it's so short)

M_Karli 5 points 10m ago

They fix it by ordering the correct pumps.

vegan-trash 3 points 10m ago

White mocha is a small pump bc a large one is 2x the normal dose

wormybabybabu 63 points 10m ago

The pumpkin and dark caramel should be the aame metal pumps as white mocha and chai for the perfect portion control. Also brown sugar, liquid cane and classic all should be half pumps and it appears to be the aame pumps for all of those.
Edit: also toasted vanilla is half pump

AzureBluet 12 points 10m ago

> The pumpkin and dark caramel should be the aame metal pumps as white mocha and chai for the perfect portion control.

Yeah I went wtf

Ordinary-Theory-8289 9 points 10m ago

Classic should be a half pump on hot bar?

kaynist 7 points 10m ago

its main purpose on hot bar is shaken espressos, and all shakens get half pumps, so yes it should be a half pump on hot bar.

yvesnings 3 points 10m ago

Yes. we have a full pump classic on cold bar but not hot bar

g_pvp_3 1 points 10m ago

oh that’s different. we have 1 half pump classic on cold bar (every syrup is half pump on cold bar except for raspberry syrup) and 1 half & 1 full classic on hot bar.

wormybabybabu 2 points 10m ago

All drinks that have classic by standard are done with half pumps, so yes. (At least in canada)

horriblyIndecisive 13 points 10m ago

What about iced coffees? In the US these get full pumps.

spoopy_ruby 5 points 10m ago

In Canada iced coffees get full pumps as well

PercyGabriel1129 7 points 10m ago

I believe the ones we have with half pumps are classic, brown sugar, and toasted vanilla

Remarkable_Hold_2342 1 points 10m ago

My store has a half pump and a full pump of classic on bar 24/7 so we make sure we do the right amount of pumps cause drinks that automatically get it get half pumps and any drink that gets it added in by the customer get full pumps

AzureBluet 36 points 10m ago

Date the chai, take those chargers off bar, put the pumpkin/dark caramel in their proper container, and what on earth are those syrups dated for?

kaynist 8 points 10m ago

it looks like they are all dated for a month actually, im thinking the big numbers on top might be the time ??? if not idk but the smaller ones underneath are the open date and a month out for expiration so thats right at least

StillLearning12358 3 points 10m ago

They look like they wrote the pkg expired date on top then open date then expiration from open. Syrups get one month from open. At least that's what we do in my store

berniesmom27 5 points 10m ago

in tarbucks, they require you to use these date stickers. top is the manufacturer’s expiration date and the bottom two are the open date and the 30 day expiration date.

[deleted] -4 points 10m ago

but they aren't good for 30 days.

LissaCat22 3 points 10m ago

Incorrect. Your store should have a whole page of expiration dates for everything. Syrups (non seasonal) get 30 days. I would talk to your manager and have them print out a copy as each store only has one.

Torirock10 28 points 10m ago

gurl

59625962 [OP] 7 points 10m ago

It's the wild west! 🤠

board-certified 22 points 10m ago

this is definitely a TARbucks

59625962 [OP] 5 points 10m ago

Yes we are😮‍💨😮‍💨

pinkshoesarecool 11 points 10m ago

Everyone is flaming OP omg 💀

Don’t take it too seriously I’m sure you’re doing your best

59625962 [OP] 8 points 10m ago

We're just a no good Tarbucks😭

Have_Donut 7 points 10m ago

NGL this kinda triggered me

catstache678 6 points 10m ago

mawma this is garbage

59625962 [OP] 1 points 10m ago

Thanks 🥲

iamthegodess1234 5 points 10m ago

Why does white mocha has mocha pump?

59625962 [OP] 1 points 10m ago

I think my lead couldn't find any more of the right size containers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

iwantyourpoison 5 points 10m ago

Fun-Reference3618 3 points 10m ago

Well… DarkCarmel and pumpkin are supposed to be in reusable white containers with pumps like the white mocha and chai

jams1015 3 points 10m ago

I like the sticker things! When I spray our bottles off at the end of the night, I have to rewrite all the dates because I take the Sharpie right off. Apparently, Sharpie ink is no match for triple filtered water and a dry rag, lol.

capsule_of_anxiety1 3 points 10m ago

White mocha is not supposed to be in a container that large, only regular mocha or a triple batch of frap roast (aka hot dog water) Dark caramel and pumpkin sauce go in a container with specific pumps.

starbucksbarist28 7 points 10m ago

To be fair, back in the day they had BIG white mocha pumps, so it could be a old one that does the proper ammount, im honestly not sure why they stopped doing them.

capsule_of_anxiety1 2 points 10m ago

Huh I didn’t know that. Yeah honestly they should bring that back bc white mocha is used up like water lol

starbucksbarist28 3 points 10m ago

Honestly no clue, I agree tho, I also think they should make a larger pump for pumpkin since we also go thru that like water

capsule_of_anxiety1 1 points 10m ago

Yeah that would be good too

PlantVader 2 points 10m ago

Labels and the tops are clean!! 9/10
Take off the charger components and you’ll have a 10/10

59625962 [OP] 1 points 10m ago

Our highest score yet!!!😤😤

PlantVader 2 points 10m ago

To be fair idk what the right pumps to use are. They don’t pay me to care. They pay me to make drinks.

landsharkingjen 2 points 10m ago

-4/10

molwalk 2 points 10m ago

Imagine having all the syrups in at the same time. My Starbucks could never

RexRoman20 2 points 10m ago

Damn y’all have date stickers? Is this a slower store? The only thing we date is the mocha, everything else is replaced or refilled every hour 😳 this group has me questioning my store everyday.

Patoxotap27 1 points 9m ago

Why do you need co2 canisters by the syrups lmao

59625962 [OP] 1 points 9m ago

We make the whip creams at the bar!

Vincent_Cromwell27 1 points 10m ago

Lol an absolutely not😂😂

Candid-Incident9528 1 points 10m ago

They are actually dated where you can easily read 😮

Date your chai

Gameb0i6 1 points 10m ago

Using all the wrong pumps for those syrups.

59625962 [OP] 1 points 10m ago

Yikes😬😬

sydneyrenae7 1 points 10m ago

I’m so confused as to what’s going on here with everything 💀

overturned23 1 points 10m ago

7/10 pumpkin and dark caramel are not on the right pumps

imathrowayslc 1 points 10m ago

Why have date dots on items you write directly on? Date dots are for things that get washed off.

59625962 [OP] 2 points 10m ago

Our tl makes us do it

imathrowayslc 9 points 10m ago

Silliness. Also the sauces (ps, ‘em, dc) are two weeks, not a month.

59625962 [OP] 4 points 10m ago

Ooop

starbucksbarist28 1 points 10m ago

All target Starbucks require them to do that idk why
