| - Listen, Its about time I say something after coming here for 8+ years and having the exact same morning experience each time; it has to be shared. I LOVE the staff at this location, especially in the morning. For whatever reason, the staff are chipper and send you on your way as though you didn't just sit in line for 25 minutes to get a simple coffee.. I even have the app. So, one would think that it would go faster, seamlessly in the drive thru at 7 am, while others also use their apps. No.
I always come to this Starbucks, but holy cripes, the parking lot/drive thru/parking stalls/traffic/overall design of this place is what night terrors are made of. I literally feel my anxiety climb when I turn my front tires into this lot, and that's AFTER I have to flip a U turn in the middle of University to get there because of this crummy location. This location is anything but easy and fast. I have waited 30 minutes in line, at times. It is just so frustrating to deal with when people are backing in and out like they just left the DMV with their driver's license for the first time.
Couple things I have noticed, though: Since the implementation of those hand held card readers that have to be flung out the window for the customers to insert their cards into, the lines have gotten so slow and very, very inefficient. All for a chip reader that is supposed to be, "more secure" and yada yada, it doesn't matter we are so behind, it's futile. Also, There should be no parking. Period. Clear the son of a gun out and put up no parking signs, road spikes, anything. This is not a place I would ever park my car, just for the simple fact that idk, it's a drive thru? People without the Starbucks app in line make my blood boil even more, because you KNOW that's a good 4 minutes of them at the window and a good ole' fashioned "this isn't what I ordered." You aren't getting out of there anytime soon - yup, late again for work, thanks.
Anyway, I share this with the hope that the entire place gets shut down for a good week so "no parking signs" and "apps only" can be installed. All in all, this is the slowest Starbucks I literally have ever been to in my entire life - and I grew up in southern NE.
Just take a breath because you are in for a long wait.
