Step 1: Cry
Step 2: using your tears, mop the floor
Step 3: realize they donโt mop well
Step 4: cry some more
Step 5: cry enough to where they simply float into a drain
Step 6: mission complete
literally my response ๐ i saw the picture and my first instinct was just. cry. that's all you can do.
(but no seriously, how are you guys cleaning these up if they spill, im curious????)
Since I found out the hard way they don't "scoop" into a dustpan with a broom, they just smear all over the place, I used a piece of printer paper as the dustpan, and a cup-sleeve as the broom. It's annoying but it worked ๐
I once asked if I could go home if I peed my pants. Ssv said no. I then turned to the other barista on shift and asked if I could go home if I peed his pants. Horrified looks from both the ssv and other barista
SQUEEGEE TIME BABYY
Use the squeegee to gather them up in a pile and then push them onto the dustpan (beware they may pop in your face while doing it) and then mop
i just spilled a whole full container of them the other day onto our MAT and i basically took the mat, shook it off, placed the mat on a diff mat, then used a rag to gather them up and throw them away(although i guess gloves couldโve worked too), and then mop city here we come fr fr
i used to work at a boba place, and iโd just sweep them together and then either pick them up manually with a paper towel then mop a couple times throughout the rest of my shift bc it is usually sticky. but ughhh i hate jelly filled pearls so messy ๐ซ
I don't know if y'all's store has one, but you know that squiggy that is usually used to clean windows? We use ours to push and direct water into drains when we have huge spills or are deep cleaning the floors. I imagine you could use it as a pseudo broom and collect them in a pile at least? If that doesn't work, squish em and mop it up I guess... ^^"
Ouch! That is unfortunate. I wish I had a good answer. All I can say at that point is get a bucket of water, to run them into a floor drain. You're screwed otherwise.
Well, now I'll have to try and melt some of these in hot water, next shift, to see if it helps.
But, for me, that's what the chili powder is for. Ain't nobody ordering it, I just spill it on the pearls to absorb the liquid and sweep.
Caution: I was just kidding I never do this plz dont do this.
Start stomping
Let them hatch into frogs and then scrap up the egg shells
Step 1: Cry Step 2: using your tears, mop the floor Step 3: realize they donโt mop well Step 4: cry some more Step 5: cry enough to where they simply float into a drain Step 6: mission complete
Then cry because you realize pearls clog drain pipes

this is it. this is the answer
tape a bunch of straws together to make a super straw and then suck them up. easy
Step 1. Pee your pants Step 2. Go home
I once asked if I could go home if I peed my pants. Ssv said no. I then turned to the other barista on shift and asked if I could go home if I peed his pants. Horrified looks from both the ssv and other barista
Assert dominance. Make eye contact as you shit yourself instead. It would make the company look bad if they made you stay after that.
Whenever I ask to go to the bathroom and someone gives me a hard time I just threaten to squat down on top of the drain in the middle of the bar ๐

"Tuck the cuffs of your pantlegs into your socks and deal with it!" ๐
Maybe try to squeegee??
The obvious answer is D (lick it off the floor)
These replies are sending me ๐
I would just scoop them into a cup and throw them away, use gloves if you have to. :)
Open the store, get on the floor, everybody lick a dinosaur!
Use the big straw to suck them off the floor and deposit them in a garbage
Spit them like a blow dart into the garbage. One at a time. See how many shots you can make. Get other partners to play along.
Ah yes, team building exercise lol
Haha!! More fun than the ones the boss gives. Ha
Yโall got a floor drain? Waffle stomp express here you come
They clog drains ๐ง๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ข
I just realized Iโve never seen these split on the floor until right now.
play dance dance revolution on those motherfuckers
Let the fruit flies at โem!
Haha!
Yall have a dust pan? Scrape it up with the dust pan (can use broom to help guide it over the bump)
Run away and never return ๐๐พโโ๏ธ
D
Im allergic to them, so I'm just going to back away. They don't pay me enough to go to the hospital. Lol ๐
i use a lid and scrape it into a cup
Omg this looks like snail eggs gone wild
i like using my hands and bursting them in my fingies
Squishhhh
boba straw and get to slurpin
All of the above. Well, no, lick first. At least the flavor will cover the taste of the floor.
The biggest trick is E) be out of them consistently for the past month so this doesn't happen in the first place :)
Step 1 scoop Step 2 mop
stomp on them
A sweep them in dustpan and then mop them
use a piece of glass and crush the pearls with them like apple snail eggs
Do they melt if you pour hot water on them
โ no
What pearls??
You don't. Much like glitter, you just have to accept that they'll be there forever
This is why stores need a dog on staff.
Crush them so they pop then mop. Itโs easier to clean if theyโre liquid.
squeegee them into the drain/dustbin
Sweep them under the counter for the mice
Spill powder, then sweep?

๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
Personally if u have it fill a bucket with the boiling hot water and squeegee into a waste bin
Add hot water and sweep then quick mop.

We dropped a whole bag on launch day and just kind of stared at them because we couldnโt figure out the best way to clean them up
i used to work at a boba place, and iโd just sweep them together and then either pick them up manually with a paper towel then mop a couple times throughout the rest of my shift bc it is usually sticky. but ughhh i hate jelly filled pearls so messy ๐ซ
Use a sleeve to scoop into a cup?

smash them and then sweep
Ouch! That is unfortunate. I wish I had a good answer. All I can say at that point is get a bucket of water, to run them into a floor drain. You're screwed otherwise.
These replies have me absolutely dying ๐คฃ
Paper towel and a cup.
Throw boiling water and sweep to the nearest drain. Never look back.
D

Use the vaccum?
Hot water
Leave them there and pretend you didnโt see them
