I just got an email response from Starbucks corporate customer service about how dirty their stores, including this one, have become. The wording and spelling were so bad that it's clear Starbucks is outsourcing their customer issues to a third world country and/or people in the US who can't spell or construct a proper sentence.
Every time I've been to this store over several weeks, table surfaces and the customer prep area are full of dried spilled drinks, the customer tables and common table are the same, plus old bits of food left behind. No employee seems assigned to keep the dining area clean--I've worked for hours playing road warrior and never once saw anyone come wipe down vacant tabletops or sweep the floor. The floor is full of discarded pieces of sweetener wrappers, straw wrappers and other detritus.
This wouldn't pass go in a million years in a regular restaurant. I don't know why Starbucks is so complacent about hygiene and cleanliness in their stores these days. Guess they're catering to the drive-thru business as their primary focus.
I'm ready to take my coffee drinking to a local coffee house that keeps up its stores to an acceptable standard of hygiene. Who cares about the food and drinks when the dining environment is substandard?
