24 hour sratbucks - awesome. Fremont street people watching - awesome. Finding a seat - not so awesome. Plugs for laptop - non existent. Not even a plug inside. I guess they don't want me plugging in my amp for my one man band Fremont show. I'm suprised, because they let everyone else besides Starbucks customers chill here.
Is it really that hard to put a sign up that reads "starbucks or hotel guests only". As much as I like quircky vagrants, I do not enjoy them asking me for cigarettes and change every 5 minutes. I'm trying to enjoy my chai frap and watch people take pictures with the big titty lady. People watching is a lot less amusing when you have the drunk guy who thinks he IS the Fremont street experience sitting next to you. Double fisting two natty ices. He definitely was not there to purchase a scone or double shot espresso. Out of the 11 full tables outside, I counted only 3 Starbucks products. In the freeloaders defense, there are no benches or chairs on Fremont street to sit down. I'm guessing zoning only allows zero benches and 60 vendor carts. Gotta make that money Vegas!
This Starbucks does not accept my Starbucks card. For a company that is not a franchise, why allow casino and rest area locations to have different rules and rediculous prices? I don't know who's at fault. Are these "special" locations gouging prices or is it Starbucks corp? If I find out its the latter, I'm turning in my Starbucks GOLD card. Gonna start my own mega-espresso empire with consistency at every location. Treating my loyal customers with the respect they deserve for keeping me in business.
I have been here for at least an hour and the sitting area looks like they started their own refuse collection. Nobody has come outside to clean up the place. I'm about to leave and some guy that looks like a meth addict starts clearing up the tables and the ground. Maybe OCD, or maybe he just wants to be a nice guy for using the tables without purchasing anything from starbucks. Who said meth addicts can't be contributing members of society? They are doing more than the starbucks/casino employees that work here.
