I used to work at a vendor store (versus corporate) and know the different level of training, care, and pressure you get. I order one of those drinks that makes average Starbucks customers roll their eyes and, unfortunately, every corporate store I've ever gone to so royally screws it up it isn't even remotely the same flavor. I just stopped by this Starbucks though, an exhausted traveller just coming through the airport, and just had my beverage made for me the same way I used to make it for myself, along with a delightful conversation & smiling faces. Talk about a pick me up, both physically and emotionally! Keep up the great work--it doesn't go unnoticed!!
