Spring Uniform Reminders

Hi Everyone!


This is just a friendly reminder... even though it is getting warmer out, your uniform still stands as listed below:

Long Jean Pants - must be full-length jeans (no shorts, capris, or skirts) and must be BLUE jeans

Shoes and socks - must be full-coverage shoes (closed toes and closed heel), sorry no sandals! You also must wear socks or tights or nylons or something on your feet.

No nail polish, chunky rings, or bracelets/watches. Earrings need to be studs, not dangly!

Hair must be up and out of your face if its longer than shoulder-length.

Brew Tshirts must have full sleeves. No rolling up sleeves to make them "sleeveless".

Aprons and nametags are a must on every shift!

Thanks and please feel free to let us know if you have any questions or need clarification. If you do end up showing up not in uniform, you may be asked to punch out and go home to change. You will not be paid for the time missed while changing into the correct uniform pieces. This will also be documented in your personnel file.

Urnex

It has come to our attention that cleaning with Urnex hasn't been done properly. So we just want to go over a couple things with everyone:


When doing the closing cleaning for the night, please make sure that you are urnexing the coffee pots every night.
When you are filling the pots please use the urnex and Hot water from the brewer and then clean with the air pot cleaner wand.
Then when you are rinsing the pots use Cold water and rinse fully 3 or 4 times to make sure that all of the urnex is gone.
Finally when you are cleaning with the Urnex, use the whole packet.  If you do not, please discard when you are done - DO NOT save. This can create lots of half-full bags of urnex. Urnex is a chemical and can be very dangerous if ingested. We do not want those open bags lying around.
If you have any questions please contact any of us and we will answer them for you!
