Starbucks in Flintshire

Starbucks Deeside is crawling with hundreds of flies! Really difficult to enjoy your coffee, or concentrate on anything whilst constantly being pestered by the cast of A Bugs Life!

The government has closed all food outlets, with the exception of takeaways. So Starbucks has closed its sit in area but kept their drive through and walk in takeout running - which is just fine. The problem is that they have not changed their behaviour. I asked for a tea and choose a sealed packet of food as the staff member was handling the food with bare hand. She picked up a once use cup, twisted her bare hand around the rim in a muscle memory type of action, as though putting a cap on the cup while shouting instructions to her colleague. She filled the cup, then twisted the cap on using the same action. She and her colleague were both working in the usual pre covid way with bare hands and faces. Clearly, if either gets the virus in the next days or weeks, they will stand a good chance of passing this to all who come in or come past. Both being young, they may well not even realise they have the virus, but of course their customers could be of any age and vulnerability. COME ON STARBUCKS - ITS NOT ACTUALLY HARD. AFTER ALL YOU HAVE ALL BEEN TRAINED IN FOOD HYGIENE, HAVEN'T YOU?
