This is a busy Starbucks... that's for sure.
======================
Problem is that even though it's busy, and most of them are, it's no excuse to ignore people or forget their drinks.
=====================
Even if your buddy is coming in to work and you haven't seen him in a long time, that's no reason to start up a conversation with him --- while there are several people in line, I should add, and the drive-thru is slammed --- and make me wait while you heat up my croissant (when I told you not to) and then wait even longer for my black coffee BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T FETCH IT BECAUSE YOU HAD TO GET CAUGHT UP WITH YOUR PAL WHO JUST CAME INTO WORK AND HASN'T EVEN PUNCHED IN FOR THE DAY.
===================
I've been going to this one for years, a couple times a week. Lately, I've had to leave the drive thru a couple of times --- before and after I've placed an order --- because it takes way too long. On this occasion, I went inside instead of going down the drive thru.
If this is the kind of thing that's going on inside while people are waiting, then that just explains everything. This one used to be a pretty dependable place to get a breakfast sandwich and some coffee (not some sugar drink with hundreds of calories --- just coffee) but now it's a pain in the neck and usually I just drive by instead of taking the chance I won't get frustrated here.
