| - is today bad customer service day, or is it just me?
cashier stood and gabbed FOREVER with some woman while a small line (including myself) just stood there. and waited. uhhh ok. and then after running my sbux card, asked if i wanted a receipt. "no thanks!" i said (and i was being nice today, too!). girl wouldn't take no for an answer, not sure why.... and started muttering (seriously!) about my account balance and i might need to refill my card, blah blah... yeah, i dunno. it was awkward and... weird. and really? why would i put more money on a gift card... for me?
then barista boy. (yeah, this story isn't over yet) starts chatting with aforementioned "some woman" (who really needs to stop talking so people can do their jobs), and THEN bb starts making the drink of the guy who ordered AFTER ME. this is the rare occasion that it would have been faster for me to leave the starbucks, get in my car, and go through the drive thru to order my drink. (we all know how sbux drive thrus are...)
and needless to say - the drink was crap. now, i know you coffee connoisseur's will say that sbux coffee is mostly crap. and to some degree - i will admit that sbux is not the best (oh, my poor seattle pride!). but this was exceptionally crappy. will not be visiting this location again.
i'd like to take this moment to petition Peet's Coffee to start opening up locations in the valley......
