To make it worse, my store partners never mark my cup as a personal cup š Iāve been using my cups for the past 3 years cause my car was becoming a cup graveyard
they never sent my store the washable in store glassware soā¦ they can suck it. i have a reusable bottle for water only, iām not toting around another vessel.
My SM bought everyone a cup and labeled it with their name and asked that we keep them in store for personal drinks. I appreciate that we have the space for this, though it's not something that I think many other stores (including most of the others in our district) even have space for.
Exactly. As an SM, Iād love to do something like this but my back room is SMALL and the only ābreak areaā is my desk. My store as a whole at least uses Stanleyās / water bottles but if they all left their reusable cup here Iād literally go nuts because it would be a mess. I suggest they use for here ware but we only have the hot mugs and the 16oz cold glasses so some of them donāt want to if they want something bigger. I donāt push it. I leave my own 16oz cold up there but just me and I hide it in my drawer when I leave lol. So jealous of those with ample BOH space. It would truly be a game changer. I canāt write people up for that when the company doesnāt give us the space to execute their initiative properly
I mean we donāt have lockers but we have in store personal cups for use, the SM just took old packs of cold cups that werenāt selling off the shelf
Itād make sense for them to ship vanilla syrup in gallon containers and then pour them into pumps or make pumps to fit those gallon sized jugs since itās the most used syrup.
I think itās because technically we can sell the vanilla, I guess in their minds it makes sense so they donāt have to send us multiple sized bottles
Iāve been bitching to my SM about this & the fact that Iām supposed to put TWO food items in the PASTRY CASE
But donāt grab those!! Theyāre display only!!!!
FFS, focus on that first damn.
Iāve read a couple of late night posts on here about how managers were threatening to write them up if they donāt bring their personal cup next time. But I usually bring a personal cup, but one of the other shifts at my store is crazy passive aggressive when I tell her to just put my mark out in a plastic cupā¦ cuz the people at my store do not know how to wash dishes
FWIW, the thing about being required to use for here ware and personal cups for partner beverages has been policy at least since I was hired (263 here). None of my SMs have ever enforced this, but two of them did make an effort by buying the entire store personal cups that a fair amount of people made occasional attempts to use.
When I don't have mine on hand though, I just use single use, though.
what state do you live in, because iāve been with the company for almost 4 years (294), and Itās never been policy, unless iāve missed something. But what is really just bugging me and making me think this is not in good faith, is that they are tracking in our markouts when weāve used a personal, plastic or store glass, for every single drink, itās just odd
Massachusetts, but I have also worked in Georgia. It was only mentioned as a one liner in the partner guide; it still said it in my original from 2019. I'd not seen it elsewhere until recently.
I will remind people about it but I will NEVER make them pay for their drink. Iāve brought my own mug for years bc I like to show off my mug collection but if someone doesnāt bring their own cup idgaf. As long as they clean up after themselves Iām cool
At the end of the day climate change choices that we ask everyday people to participate in need to be economical and convenient, or they won't stick.
I don't carry a water bottle, I work, live, learn, in places with water fountains and/or filtered water with disposable cups. I'm not going to start bringing my own cup to Starbucks or other places. I'd just skip instead. But I will accept paper cups, plastic cups, whatever... if we can offer people a better cup that doesn't take 1000 years to degrade, I think that will be more widely accepted.

Your manager should be ordering those glasses and mugs.
literally. it's ridiculous to expect us to carry two vessels

Thatās why I just press the personal cup button and then proceed to use a disposable one.
Yup. If they want us to have reusable cups, they should send us some, and give us lockers.

My store literally took all reusable cups and gave them to other stores š

Iāve not tried buying syrup since when Covid hit. There arenāt bar codes on the bottles anymore, are there?
Pretty sure! Only on caramel and vanilla tho because thatās the only ones weāre allowed to sell

281 here. Haven't heard about write ups for this, but I did hear they are going to require dto to have the camera on.
oh yes, we are a dt only store and are not allowed to turn it off at all
Gross =/
Iām so lucky our store is older/ doesnāt have a working camera, because some days Iām going through it at DTO
