Starbucks Central Pattaya — Restaurant in Pattaya City

This morning I purchased some doughnuts from Starbucks Central Pattaya beach. I gave the lady a 500 baht note. She gave me 170 baht in change. When I asked for the remaining change she opened the till and returned to me a further 200 baht. I understand people make mistakes but this didn't feel to me like it was a genuine mistake. It felt like it was a delibrrate act of theft. I didn't get an apology, instead she rudely asked me to stand aside from the counter which I happily did.

The Pink Drink was very fruity and sweet, but not too “sugary”. Made with coconut milk, strawberries, and açaí; it was delicious.

The croissant I opted to not have it warmed up & it was sweeter than I expected, but still good.

Drink = 10/10 - will be ordering the Pink Drink again. Croissant = 9/10 - will try the croissant “warmed up”...
