| - This could be a great Starbucks. They sure have the potential: great wi-fi, spacious interior, and the best patio space of any Starbucks for miles. On this visit the staff was very friendly and helpful. So why do I give it only three stars??
BECAUSE THIS IS VEGAS, BABY, AND THIS JOINT CLOSES AT 8:00 pm. Make that on weekends, too. Yeah, I know why, but I hardly believe it. "Volume," said the guy at the register. I was there at 7:45, and by the time my beans had been ground and I put all the stuff into my hot coffee, it was 8:00. My "day" was just beginning.
The door wasn't yet locked, but a customer coming in was told the store was closed. He left. A minute later another one came in who was obviously a regular and known to the staff. He was not told the store was closed, and proceeded to place a large order, which was filled. As soon as he left, a third customer was turned away. Okay, so maybe they're not lining up out the door at 8:00 p.m., but it was a weeknight and there WERE customers. I just don't get it. I can walk to this store, but noooooo. If it's 8:15 and I my caffeine addiction kicks in, I have to get in the car and drive. Or stay home and make it in my handy Melitta one-cup manual drip cone.
Double razzberry to this Starbucks location. Howard Schultz, I could've loved it.
