Starbucks

"Question: If one homeless person can take 4 seats and 2 tables for themselves, and camp out for 2 hours half asleep, and you only have 5 other tables - what would you do if 4 more homeless came in and took up the rest of the very LIMITED seating? Would it be fair to not let them ALL in? Not sure if that is bad enough, or having one business person come in and take up 2 tables and 4 chairs to themselves. Today one homeless, and one business professional had 8 seats and 4 tables all to themselves."

"Now on August 5th, it’s pouring outside and they kicked everyone out because they have “grab and go policy”?! People with little kids had to leave and walk under the rain because they wouldn’t let people stay until the rain stops. I’m talking about people who bought coffee etc.. who paid for Starbucks products got kicked out. They warned everyone 3 times to leave and not stay in the cafe despite the thunderstorm outside. And the manager threatened to call the cops on this older guy who was there with his family because he refused to leave until the rain stops which btw noted on the water app that would stop in 7min and it did. HORRIBLE TERRIBLE BAD management. People put the situation in their social media. I will also email Starbucks corporate."

"I work next to this Starbucks, so I stop in fairly regularly. I know several of the employees and have never had a bad experience with any of them. They are a strong and unified team of lovely humans that create a great atmosphere for everyone. The manager specifically, (Hi Ronnie!!) is a phenomenal person and incredible at her job. The drinks are always amazing and the food is out on time every time. Thanks for a fabulous space to grab my morning coffee and afternoon tea."

"Attention all other Starbucks nationwide that don’t offer this: The Old Port location in Portland, ME gives out FREE bags of old coffee grounds to use in your garden as compost. Already bagged up, just walk up and grab one. If I thought I’d have room, I would have crammed a bag or 2 of compost in my luggage before heading back home. Every Starbucks should offer this!"

"No complaints, great facilities, foood and drinks! What you’d expect from a Starbucks."
