Ok, so why is it that I go to QT almost every morning after I drop my son off to school to get a…read moresimple cup of coffee, and prices of coffee has gone up a dollar per cup, per size. I inquire about the rise in prices, and they tell me it's because of the new coffee pour automation, ok I get that. The problem with that is that these coffee creamer machines are always "INOPERATIVE" , so now that sucks, but I still pay the INFLATED price. BUT Today I go in, sign still up I go and use the cold creamer machine do the mix coffee, taste my coffee and same results this is UNACCEPTABLE . And it's not just this location, it seems like they all are like that, it's like rolling the dice, I live in an area where there is at least 4 QT all within a 2-3 mile radius of my home, I am either the luckiest person alive and need to go to Las Vegas or "Houston you have a problem". I take cup, I empty the warm over priced hot water in the drain, leave cup, cover, on the counter and walk out, it's ABSURD, what a waste of time, energy and gas, mind you now, I'm retired, I got time to write this, have pride in what you do, even for the littlest of things. A lot of people drink coffee in the morning, to start off their hopefully great day with a cup of Joe, but this just starts them off otherwise. So I take it as, hey maybe it's time to stop drinking coffee, my reason to make this habit come to an end This will either help you or make Starbucks a little richer company...ALOHA
