How do you all like this Starbucks? I hope my experience was just a total fluke! I woud definitely be giving it zero stars if possible.
I stopped here the other day on the way to my aunts house to pick up some iced coffee and a nice cold tea for my little cousin with mono. It took me about 15 minutes to get my orders and get them CORRECTLY made while cars piled up behind me. It was seriously just a chaotic mess.
I pulled up. Ordered a large passion fruit tazo iced tea and told the girl I had a reusable cup that I would like to have her fill with sweetened ice coffee with soy milk. She says, "what?" So I explain again and again. Until she understands that I have a reusable cup that I would like to have her fill with sweetened ice coffee with soy milk. "Oh.. okay. Pull up to the window."
I pull up at the window and she is ignoring me taking another customer's order, which obviously has to happen. At first I didn't realize she was on the headset so I started speaking to her. Obviously that was a huge inconvenience because she continued ignoring me after she got off her headset to see if any other employees heard that customer's order because she couldn't hear it. You could just sense her crappy mood spilling over into her customer service skills.
Then she takes my cup, takes my cash, and takes my Starbucks card, and slowly rings up the order. She doesn't give me my Starbucks card back. She fills up my cup with coffee. Not sweetened, no soy milk (but was I charged for soy milk? You betcha!). When I asked her to put the soy milk in, she sighed, and then asked if I wanted it on the side or wanted me to dump some out. Uhm, I paid for it to be in the drink, dump some out please. In the process, another girl brings me a small tazo passion fruit ice tea. I told her I had ordered a large so she goes back to fix it.
This is where it just gets ridiculous. The first girl brings me my drink, then brings me the large tazo tea and apologizes that she brought me the larger size by accident. I told her, "no, I ordered the large so I had her go back and make it large."
She actually argued with me. Like, fought with me. She told me that I said "Tall," which I know I did not say because I am incapable of ordering in Starbucks terms. I never remember to do it and ALWAYS go small, medium, or large. But, just to sit there in the drive through and argue with a customer- ridiculous. Oh yeah, and then SHE MADE ME PAY THE EFFING 87 CENT DIFFERENCE. She actually rang me up for 87 cents. Are you effing with me?
After all of that I had to actually ask her for my card because because she still hadn't given it to me. And, oh yeah, and then I got to my aunt's house, had my coffee and it wasn't sweetened. At that point I was just over this whole experience. What a mess.
And I know this review makes me sound like a biatch, but I promise you, I'm generally very understanding if you have a polite attitude. Which this girl never did. read more
