Starbucks Coffee — Restaurant in Wealden

Covid Lazy and Complacent. Antibacterial Dispenser at entrance did not work. Handgel at condiments station had the pump action top broken. When I complained manager said I should tip it. It is a pump action dispenser so that is null.

Staff and manager were casual and dismissive.

I had just come back from having my Booster Jab at Crumbles Vaccination Centre at Eastbourne Sovereign Harbour.

Excellent nursing and medical staff give their time and all. I have them a loud Thank You as I left the vaccination centre.

I am a ex qualified nurse who worked in A&E, Crisis Team, ITU units Been with people dying of respiratory failure including children and young babies. I have been active in trying to combat the fake news, conspiracy theories and anti-masker, anti-vaxxers throughout this time.

I and many said we would go back to rapid increase in infections and mutations by relaxing and removing barriers and restrictions. I and many said we would be back to lockdown and closed shops cafes and restaurants by Xmas and New Year.

So sorry nobody took notice or took serious.

I go back to a house of High Risk people who have not and cannot go out.

When I went back and raised it with Magda the restaurant manager. She was dismissive and complacent. Showed the door dispenser worked by putting hand under and inlet. No notice How should people know. On pump action bottle showed grabbing hold of bottle and tipping it. So many hands touching bottle. And nobody would know to tip it.

Taken to have “private chat” in toilet. Magda denied and dismissed. Said “Not Her Business “ if things don’t work it’s higher management and suppliers who send them.

Pretence at condescension and empathy.

Actually went to come into my space and grab my arm and pat at least 3 times. Unconsciously tried to make this in your space patting grabbing action several times. I blocked with my hand and arm every time

More and more words of condescension and fake empathy. When I got frustrated and raised my voice Magda accused me of being abusive and aggressive. I am in tears because of all the people I have seen die and are dead.

As disabled and due disability and racial prejudice to me and others I do not go out and not treated myself to coffee and snack since 18th Dec 2018. And swore I would never go to a restaurant or cafe again. And have not done so.

This is my one treat I thought I would try when coming back from my booster.

It will not be happening again. Myself and companions spent over £800pm on one cafe. Due to disability and racial hate we don’t do any more. How much do you lose every day?

I do not respect or appreciate this.

A serious complaint is going to Starbucks HQ.

Nobody can afford to be Lax. Or maybe Starbucks is about the Coffee and Cash but...

This Starbucks, conveniently located near the petrol station on the route between Pevensey and Hastings, has become our regular pit stop whenever we're in the area. The location is ideal for travelers looking to refuel both their vehicles and themselves during a journey along the coast. The staff are consistently friendly and efficient, even during busy periods. What keeps us coming back time after time is not just the reliable coffee but the welcoming atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind for a while. We've visited numerous times now and always enjoy spending time here. Whether you need a quick caffeine boost or want to take a longer break from driving, this Starbucks ticks all the boxes. The seating area is comfortable, and there's usually enough space even during peak hours. If you're traveling between Pevensey and Hastings, I highly recommend making this your refreshment stop - it's become our favorite for...

PARKING - BE WARNED!!

This review is simply to make people aware of the time limit on parking if you don’t enter your car registration at the till.

Been coming here for years and enjoyed coffee and chats with friends and family with no issues whatsoever but recently they have introduced a parking time limit of 1.5hrs. Yes, there are signs in the car park but when you’ve been going here for years you don’t even notice the new signs. There are no signs as you walk into the branch and a pathetic little sign near the till but when you’re chatting with friends you won’t even notice it. The server didn’t mention that you can enter your car reg to stay longer. So please, please, please enter your reg at the till if you’ll be more than 90minutes. I don’t want another penny going to the moneygrabbing shysters that are...
