Starbucks — Restaurant in Alliance

We all know Starbuck's and know their menus since for the most part they all serve the same things. What sets each location apart are the people inside the building, keeping that in mind here is my take on this location.

First time I've visited this newer location and on Christmas Eve to boot! They were closing early for the holiday and came out to put up the cones to indicate the drive-thru was closed. Fortunately I was the last car they allowed through but the line was very long and people had to be turned away. The manager came out to wish them Happy Holidays but also apologizing and hoping they'd understand her staff wanted to get home to their families as well (they were already well past closing time and I was car #10 in line). While most people were understanding, there were a few cranky folks. The manager kept her cool, acted very professional and gracious while getting bullied all with a smile on her face. That was what first impressed me, a strong leader equals a strong team.

I ordered a venti iced toasted white mocha quad, a package of cranberry bliss bars (they even got me a frozen box!!) and one on the side for the ride home. Not only was my drink made perfect but service was amazing.

So hats off to my Barista and all the counter staff who made my order to perfection. A special kudos to the manager as it's nice to see a strong female in a leadership position taking charge while still being...

Mcdonalds is across the street but the breakfast sandwiches are soo much better here than Mcdonalds. I don't mind paying a little more when I treat myself here because Starbucks is more socially conscious than Mcdonalds even though they have had to have racism training. Mcdonalds is too robotic, the employees at this Starbucks are not robots, they are human. Now, if you're into cheaper food and robots, then, you should go across the street to McDonalds. Today, I sat on the patio under an umbrella with my dog. My server even offered to bring water for my dog but I had brought my own water for her. At previous visits my dog was hanging out the car window at the drive thru because she likes to watch the workers. They gave her a free puppychino which is a small cup of whipped cream. She loved that. My breakfast sandwich, cheese danish and orange juice...

Went here for the 1st time on veterans day for a "free" coffee. I had never had starbucks before so I asked the girl if the free coffee was just plain coffee or flavored or what exactly I should get. She told me I could get anything. After I picked something, she asked me the size. I thought "wow, this is crazy. I was expecting the free coffee to be a small black coffee." My friend ordered his own drink and she gives us the total...... And I got charged for my drink.

I wasn't about to argue with the girl because I don't mind paying for my own things. But I was actually disappointed because I would never have suggested going there in the first place had it not been advertised the way it was. And to be honest, it was a long wait and a lot of money for something that I make better at my own house.

Will not be returning...... Even if they offer me...
