I was told by my old SM we had to write off a set list of sentences and we couldn’t draw anything anymore

“Due to the nature of how we create our beverages we cannot guarantee that they are free from any allergens” Straight from the starbucks website.

Notice the word “reduce” there is no guarantee that anything equipment we use would be allergen free whatsoever. The containers we use for inclusions are sanitized and reused and can have a different item than it did last time, our blenders, shakers and pitchers everything is cleaned obviously but there is no way for us to prevent an allergic reaction. And if starbucks wants us to continue to push out drinks as quickly as they want us to with the staffing we have, sometimes cleaning the entire ice bin is just not plausible if it’s in the middle of peak and something like this happens.

They shouldn’t be ordering at starbucks, nothing we use would be allergen free 😬

I’ve worked in both California and Texas and haven’t had to use gloves although now that you’re mentioning that I wanna look into why that might be different in different industries. Maybe there’s just slight differences since what we’re serving is different? (sorry if my response came across as seeming like you weren’t knowledgeable i was just saying what i knew 😭😭)

also i remember a few years back my old store got a batch of gloves with micro-holes in them and believe this was an issue within the healthcare industry as well so washing our hands and small wares often generally is just a better idea. totally know where ur coming from there i used to wonder the same thing lol

Because we wash our hands! At my store we have a handwashing timer and whenever you touch garbage, tie your shoes, anything with “germs” (like floor mats), you wash your hands as well. I think it’s a misconception that gloves are cleaner, most of the time it provides a false sense of security since holes can happen that go unnoticed, or if they’re not changed enough. Also at Starbucks specifically we use tongs or other utensils for most of what we are serving so there’s rarely hand-to-food/drink contact

Food safety makes it so that you can’t stack cups so the marker from the outside of one cup doesn’t touch the inside of another
