Not the buzzball 😭

One of my most vivid memories from Starbucks was working Christmas and being rushed THE ENTIRE DAY non stop, no break, just lines.

We had 3 people working and we literally could not clean almost anything until the end of the day when we locked the doors.

We were there for literal hours after we closed trying to clean.

So many dishes.

the buzz ball really tells a story 😭

Lmao the buzzball. But for real, woof I’m so sorry

As a closer on Christmas Eve, it was hell. But I didn’t want to leave a shitshow for the Monday opener. I honestly dgaf if we went over time w my other closer but we left a great store. We put all the pastries, and sandwiches in donation bags, left everything ready for to just do the mochas, chais etc. I truly hope they appreciate it 🥹 bcs we left late

WHO BROUGHT A BUZZBALL TO WORK LMAOO

as someone who mostly closes all of these make complete sense except for the buzzball lol. christmas eve sucks, have some understanding for ur closers, were often understaffed to hell.

the buzzball took me OUT

I wanna see that cold bar sink

I would 1,000% send these to my manager

I work at a licensed store (a small booth in a Safeway), a cross-trained grocery manager was the only one who volunteered to work Christmas day. She didn't find any of the defrosted sandwiches or pastries to date them or use them. Didn't date any of the things she made (mocha, VSC, Lemonade, etc). Left dirty dishes in the sink and didn't sweep or mop. None of the expired pastries or sandwiches from Christmas day/eve were thrown out. We had a brand new person open today and he didn't fix most of the stuff, because he didn't know better either, I'm the mid shift and had to deal with all that right when I got here. Haven't found any buzz balls yet.

Loved being a partner! The clean up was the best when everyone contributed their part! 🤣

My manager would write up the entire closing shift if it looked like that, jesus

The buzz ball lol

that buzzball would be going home with me lmao

Bro I walked in this morning and there was no preps made 😭

Damn they must have been blasted if they actually forgot to take the buzzball with them. I would have kept that on my hip all shift if it were me, then again I wouldn’t drink at work. Just smoke!

Please be an opener at my store 😭😭 we constantly have to stay late to meet the openers and my SM ungodly expectations of our store to be absolutely spotless every morning and completely stocked for them, then get scolded for staying late

I kinda understand the boxes being inside if it was in the negative degrees. They should’ve been up up nicer tho. I was the closer on Christmas Eve and my SM said ‘it doesn’t matter how the store looks just get out on time. It will be slow in the morning.’ (He’s an outside hire.) 😑
However we didn’t. We got out an hour later and the only thing we didn’t do was mop and maybe stock a few lids. (Afterwards I got a text from him saying our numbers were good and we could stay.) 🤡🤡🤡 I just didn’t want to leave the store a total mess because it’s just not fair to do so.

The buzzball, lmfaoooo

i closed xmas eve and opened this morning it was nice to be able to leave the store the way i wanted it but now i want a buzzball

I understood everything up until the buzzball LMAO

Corporate is on their way to investigate lmao

I really hope you sent a these photos to your SM, cause holy shit…

You know what this makes me feel so much better about my Christmas eve close 😬 I forgot to toss the pastries and stuff that would be going out on Christmas and on Christmas eve

There's some trash and they forgot to dump the sani, ok. Were the tils, safe, pulls, and counts done?

If this is a recurring issue, that's something to bring up. Personally I got out an hour and a half late last night. Didn't leave this kinda mess, but certainly wouldn't feel bad if I did. Here I am closing today and everything is fine - got the store cleaned and restocked. 1 day of mess isn't going to ruin the store.

Your floors look nice, they definitely did some work. Not sure about that pile in the first pic...

Looks about right for Christmas eve. Give them some grace.
We haven't received our last two deliveries and we're running out of everything. Things could be worse..

i was feeling bad the other night bc i forgot to make kegs (but the store was otherwise beautiful)...this made me feel a lot better about what *i* considered a bad close😂😂

edit to add: just noticed that buzz ball..i just know that xmas eve closing crew was in the trenches😭

Nvm me over here in awe with how big your back room is 🤯

That’s inexcusable…

Wait yalls stores dont look like this everyday..??

Minus the Buzzball, ofc. Haha. We all have to cope somehow!
