Starbucks

"Had a latte and a vanilla sweet cream cold brew. They just didn't taste right. Not up tonStarbucks standards especially for the price."

"Good for a nice coffee. Its kind of expensive and some of the people can be a little snooty. It is a huge franchise anyway and not a corner coffee shop. Coffee is still good though."

"Now, when I was at this Starbucks location, I got a look from the serving window that was interpreted and/or understood by me as, "I know exactly what you are doing, and you shouldn't be doing it." It was a pre-meditated scorn, a frown, a furrow. Something that seemed to be triggered (facially and nonverbally) by the way I said "I'm picking up an order for Grant," (as if it was usual and service-able, …using the same tones of voice and inflections in my voice as I would use as a half-imitation match for a delivery personnel's attitude and inflections (including/emphasizing the distance-ness (emotionally) from my own satisfaction of the order and the customer's own satisfaction of the order, while simultaneously using the same line of words to nonverbally recognize and here-to the typical, summed-up, and coincidental (etc.) drama that a typical food delivery personnel runs into at drive throughs and/or restaurants (etc.)), plus eye contact and then split-second mental processing time on this person's end. Now, the eye contact could have been suggestive of a positive mental image-match (in this person's mind). And, the main point of this review is to illustrate and/or point out that I do not appreciate being told (in exact sync (affirmed through the use of two-way nonverbal communication between me and the person at the delivery window)) that I shouldn't go across America and write negative reviews online to whomever and whatever I want to, simply because someone's social class wishes to be respected. I understand writing negative reviews online is a form of punitive and guilt-based leadership power. I understand it doesn't make friends, and makes a lot of long-term enemies. I am okay with that, and have accepted that, and don't expect to change my ways. Ever since getting fired from Waverly Beach and leaving them a negative review online, I have felt a self-generated guilt to go around and give everyone else a negative review also for the sake of fairness (and also having my voice heard in general)."

"It's decent food and coffee. It's predictable, which makes it a safe spot to stop in. The food is a bit greasy, and the coffee is more bitter than strong. I believe they use Arabica beans, which are OK. I also taste some Blue Mountain in there. I prefer Sumatran."
