| - I have been to this Starbucks twice. The first time was nearly a year ago. There were 14 people ahead of me in the lineup. This Starbucks location at Markville is fairly new. The mall has been sprucing up its stores, furniture, and more. It looks pretty nice.
I went back there today after taking my Mac mini in for servicing. After spending 1.5 hours backing up my data before my Mac mini was restored from scratch, I needed my Starbucks fix. I ordered a tall, no whip, green tea soy frappuccino. I am borderline lactose-intolerant.
As a waited for my beverage, a barista got my attention by yelling, "I know you! I used to work at another Starbucks location in Markham!"
I looked at him. I only needed a couple of seconds to figure out that he was the friendly barista at Copper Creek that introduced me to those addictive Starbucks sugar cookies. He was always nice to me, which was no different than his conversation with me today.
He could tell that I immediately recognized him. He also lives in Markham, but Markville is closest to his home. I told him that it was nice seeing him again. I had wondered what had happened to him. Mystery has been solved!
Another barista gave me my frapp. It was accurately made. I was happy. I do recommend going to this location. I am lucky to be a regular. It's nice that one of my favourite baristas is there for me to stop by and say hi.
This Starbucks has limited seating. However, the mall has so many benches and places to sit that you don't have to sit there. The wifi works well. It was nice to connect to it while waiting for my beverage to arrive, which did not take too long this second time. It helps to be there at 2 pm!
