I have never had a bad experience at a Starbucks until now... *Shudders*
I am on my way to work and I decide to stop at this Starbucks since I know its new instead of my regular location on Desert Inn and Eastern (Big Mistake).
I pull through the drive through super excited for my first Pumpkin Spice Frap of the season, until I went to order and my hopes along with my dreams were shattered.
I ordered my drink and after a short pause the woman proceeded to ask me if I was a Gold Member?? I've been to Starbucks at least 1,725 times in my short 23 years of life and I have never been asked if I was a Gold Member while trying to buy a drink. So I told her no and she then told me that I couldn't have my Pumpkin Spice Frap because I wasn't a Gold Member...
Whaaaat?????
Never have I ever felt bad about trying to purchase a drink at Starbucks until that moment. By declining my business today you have definitely lost my business for life.
Needless to say I went to my usual Starbucks about a mile up the road and when I ordered my Pumpkin Spice Frap they were happy to take my money and provide me with one without hesitation.
Don't turn away customers, period. This isn't Costco I shouldn't have to have a special card to spend money here.
