Standing water is a health code violation. Have someone anonymously call it in if you don’t want to do it directly

health code...hahaha. Ask to smell the milk before they put it in your drink. I am amazed at the things my wife tells me about her store. No one is going to die if they don't have coffee, but they might die if they do.

Starbucks knowingly pouring sour milk in your drinks. No store in the world is slow enough to have milk wayyyy past their expiry date. Sure one jug gets stuck at the back and we find it a day after it expired and waste it. But no store is slow enough to have milk that’s been sitting long enough to get smelly and then used it. Milk is good for like two weeks and we get milk deliveries every two-three days. It’s like saying Dairy Queen uses expired ice cream. Do you know the volume of product we use?

y’all better than me. i def would’ve had a “fall” and went for that sweet workman’s comp.

Same. I always joking to my coworkers that mop the follow before they leave for the day, “if I slip, I’ll sue” but for this pic though 😭

def against so many different rules - but if you wanna help protect yourself from slipping my store has figured out that putting the coffee filters on your shoes kinda helps with the slipping and sliding around!

What happened to your anti-skid rubber mats?
Aliciarox11189 17 points 7m ago
Most stores don't have those
selkieflying 11 points 7m ago
Most stores don’t use those. They have a tendency to get very very disgusting
darkwolf523 7 points 7m ago
Facts. Cleaning them on cleanplay though 😭

I wouldn't even come in until it's fixed. This is a safety and health code violation. Can't fire me for something I shouldn't be doing.

I had ice machine leaking issues and they had to install a pump and a drain pipe that pulled the water into the mop sink. It definitely was a lake for days until it was fixed and I had one partner have to miss a shift from her feet staying wet so long that they blistered up and she couldn't walk without pain. We also developed fruit flies for a short time after that. Lots of obvious and some less obvious problems with having standing water like that in your store. I hope you get a solution soon.

Can you put towels down? Or something to hold off the leaking? Fine the source of the leak and place a flat bucket underneath??
SNES182 6 points 7m ago
If there’s this much water on the floor, it needs to be repaired or replaced. A flat pan/tray will easily fill. It’s also possibly leaking from the main line, in which case, something underneath wouldn’t matter.

Also time to unionize

Why don’t you have floor mats? The safety and security manual states every store is required to have them for partner safety.

It’d be a shame if everyone slipped and injured themselves, and sued Starbucks for not providing the required safety materials.

From my daily you can see the open tickets and status of work orders. Check for the resolution date, or even just make a ticket everyday. Also any supervisor can order those mats that people are commenting on. I think you’ve been working in that condition for too long and it needs to be resolved asap
