Starbucks
Reviews
Great coffee. Long lines most of the time though. Drive through is the same wait time as walking in.
I'm editing my previous review. I had given this Starbucks a favorable review...but I just got back from there and I'm not happy. This time of year (december 2013), there's a lot of charity buckets floating around, and that's a great thing. This *is* the time of year people need to be charitable and help others out. I'm happy to do it. But what you DON'T want to do is exactly what they're doing to their customers today: Some kid with a bucket is literally standing right next to the register...as in exactly where customers stand to pay for their coffee. Its *extremely pushy.* Instead of letting people make a choice to donate, you're basically shaming them into donating because you're *looming over their wallet.* So you end up taking someone who would probably have donated anyway (like myself) and making us resent you. But it gets better: the people working this charity were taking up 85% of the store! They had literally spread their 'massage' area to cover most of the tables! So the people who were coming in the place to spend money and possibly *donate* don't have anywhere to sit. I very nearly walked right back out as soon as I saw what was going on. I'm sure others did, too. Its a shame...I'm a regular there, and I've given that store a fortune. But some common sense is needed there, apparently.
This Starbucks I like just a little bit more than the other. Good coffee, good atmosphere.
friendly, fast, upbeat feeling spot close to shopping mall and comfy for a bit of laptop time.
Great stuff and great employees.
