Starbucks

"The service has taken a nosedive. In an effort, I assume, to prevent folks from stealing drinks and food off the counter, they’ve stopped calling out names once the orders are ready. But how do you know your order is ready? You have to ask the espresso bar apparently. But there are lots of folks just standing around waiting, and nothing happening, and plenty of orders ready. The espresso bar is swamped with work. Hardly looks up from what they’re doing. Every once in a while they will look up and be able to get one or two orders to the customer but then go back to work. One customer went to the ordering counter instead and asked for her order. “I don’t know you’ll have to ask the espresso bar” and when she persisted, he said, “well okay I’ll do it this once but next time ask the espresso bar.” And then, when the ordering line has died down, proceeds to not help out expediting orders. Just whistles and moves some inventory around. I get it, there are some shady people around here stealing food. But staff up, or get everyone to help out, or change the system. Please lose the condescension—you’re the ones changing the ordering flow and not announcing it via signage or telling customers. How are we to know what to do? We can’t read your minds."

"This is for the barista named M**c**o. I'll spare u the embarrassment because my description will be enough. As a fellow barista, i get it when y’all r busy but to have that affect ur end product is just not acceptable. U first actually make our drink right and place it on the counter. Then u wind up acting frugal for some reason with our second drink. U even look at it and shrug before proceeding to empty out the cold foam. Even before that, you were procrastinating making drinks, just slowly replacing the milks as if u just ran a marathon, while ur coworkers r sweating and busting their poor bums. When i ask about the obvious visual difference in my similarly ordered drinks , u hit me with the “well I can add more ice? I added extra cold foam like u asked already” Fam u made the first drink fine with “no extra foam” and made the mistake of handing it to me and then giving almost the exact same drink with half the amount of coffee. Here’s a photo of how it should look. Do ur job right and stop being so lazy. I think ur coworkers would thank me -ur fellow starbie"

"Change my review because this is first Starbucks since Denver rei location and Tampa FL (Kennedy Blvd) where they actually listen to customer description of the order which they had sitting like pre COVID and bathroom like 2018 or early 19"

"The environment is dirty and sultry, and there are no seats. I went there three times and only served good attitude for the first time. You need to queue up for around ten minutes."
