For those of you that really know me, you know that I am a Starbucks girl. It's been my go to forever and a day.
So when in Amsterdam, of course I had to stop by and grab a drink and of course I needed to buy my obligatory branded tumblers and mugs.
This won't be my typical review because my disappointment in this place was at an all-time high. I will say, that when a company has a reputation, as customers we expect to see that same quality regardless of the location. I'm here to tell you that the way things operate in Europe and other countries Does not necessarily match what we may enjoy in the United States.
The customer service at this location absolutely sucks. The staff is incredibly rude, and they really don't care if you purchase something or not. I truly have never seen anything like this.
The upside is that they definitely have a great variety of merchandise, and when it comes to actual food products, they have an entire case, yes, an entire case of desserts that we never see here in the United States. On top of that, they also have a variety of food items. It's almost like a mini restaurant. So not like what we have here.
The other offering that I thought was rather cool and Starbucks in the United States really needs to jump on this is that they have a $10 deal. Yes, for $10 you can have a sandwich, a drink, and a dessert. Completely unheard in the United States. I can't tell you if the food taste great because I only purchased a couple of drinks, but visually things look pretty tasty.
If you go, go with caution. If you're into purchasing any other merchandise, this is a great location to do it at. read more
