Starbucks

"4:25 PM 7th of February 2024 drive-through experience. Approach the monitor takes a minute to be greeted. Pull up to the window takes two minutes to be greeted, but wait I was never greeted and I went out of my way to say hello oh while she is immediately handing me over a drink and a pup cup that generally I’m talking 9.9999999% of the time is given after you pay. Stay silent window closes gone for another few minutes the money is inconvenienced to buy me wanting her to scan. My QR code gives me my change, and I am stand at the window and stares at me while I put my money away because I had already decided I was not providing a tip. But she waited for that tip. Does she know I am a world I known intuitive empath and her ignorant, entitled judgment on me immediately when she turned her back realizing she was getting no tip. Gave me my food which was sloppily placed into the bag as there was cheese everywhere, and proceeds to judge me again. I calmly drove away, parked my car and wrote this review."

"I give one star the shift lead Danielle. She pretends to be sweeping the floor but she wants to eavesdrop on your conversations with your friends. I saw dirty tables but she had a broom and was listening in to my conversations. She also likes to charge you extra money if some stuff is free with the gold card. She is never friendly. She always wears a baseball hat probably because she thinks she can spy on you easier that way. At one point she was sliding furniture in front of the bathroom hallway so i had to use the bathroom at Grillhouse next door. They always turn over employees also. If she spies on customers, how do you think she treats employees?"

"The manager is one of the rudest I have encountered at a Starbucks. A few months ago, she refused to replace a burnt breakfast sandwich, and had a rude tone. Today, it was busy and she was quite rude when asked about a second item (she gave me one and the started working on someone else’s). I do not know if this is Starbucks hiring standard. I am glad there is a new Starbucks nearby, so I do not need to interact with her again."

"This Starbucks is always busy. That being said, while you're waiting for your drinks, there is a tree out front that has very interesting-looking "strange tree fruit" which I seriously doubt is edible (see pictures). Well, needless to say, this Starbucks does not alert you when your drinks are ready, so I had the opportunity to thoroughly inspect this tree/bush/plant. I am not a horticulturalist, but it did have some very cool features and colors and I was quite entertained while passing the time until my go-juice was ready. Thanks, Redwood City for the cool and interesting plant and for having no redwood trees(?). By the way, I would still recommend this Starbucks even though they're ALWAYS busy. They do their job and aren't unfriendly or anything; I'd guess that they are just probably constantly exhausted."
