Despicable treatment of minorities… coffee cold 99% of time. And when I asked for “hot” fresh coffee, I get smirked at by the same woman, who looks at me like I am asking for something that black people don’t have a right to expect. I pay $3.50 for a cup of coffee that I must go home and reheat in the microwave, daily. Today was the final straw. Sad. I spoke with the manager, Colleen, who whined, “oh I am so sorry. Oh oh.” However, it wasn’t until I said I was going to social media to complain that their (specific this one woman) treatment of blacks was unacceptable. This woman lied to my face. All I want is hot, fresh coffee. At least that’s what I thought I was paying for…. I saw this particular woman emptying the pot into my cup when I walked into the store; I order from the app. The guy says what do you want. I gave him my name and said I ordered a venti pike. He says we’re just waiting for a fresh pot to brew. I looked at the woman who was emptying out the old pot into my cup and asked, “I will get a fresh cup,?” To which she replied, “yes!” And she gives me that same smirk ish look. So I wait… When she puts the cup up, I take it and travel the 3 minutes to my home. When I take the lid off, there is no steam, and the coffee is almost room temp. So, like most days, I pour the $3.50 coffee into my mug and put it in the microwave. This is what prompted me to call. If you don’t want to serve black folks then say so. Put a sign on the door and I’ll take my green money elsewhere. But please stop treating black folks like slaves… it is very sad. I really tried to patronize this location, but I will never go in there again. If it weren’t for the great service I get around the corner on Haddonfield Road, I would totally never go into another Starbucks. Get with the program, discrimination ain’t cute. If you don’t want to serve everyone then choose a career where you only come in contact with your own....

This afternoon’s boardroom was a cozy corner at the Starbucks in Cherry Hill’s Garden State Center.
At exactly 2:00PM, the agenda was clear: tea, cheese danish coffee strips, a matcha moment, and meaningful business alignment.
What began as a client relationship is now becoming something much more powerful. The start of a promising business partnership. When vision meets readiness with a warm cup in hand, progress is inevitable.
The environment was clean, quaint, and refreshingly ideal for productive conversation and strategic planning. The service from the Starbucks attendants was both beautiful and exceptional. Thank you to the staff that was on duty for creating such a welcoming and professional atmosphere.
Some of the best business does not happen across a mahogany table. Sometimes it happens in a welcoming space filled with intention, vision, and the right energy.
Here’s to building legacy one purposeful meeting at a time.

Read moreI honestly love this Starbucks. They always make my drinks really good. However on Friday 01-26-2018 I walked in to grab a coffee and when I was waiting in line, I’m not sure if she was the manager, general manager or district manager walks in and asks one of the employee in a high sarcastic tone of voice where is the hour of operations sign and I’m talking about the real one. I honestly thought that was really rude and unconfortable not only for the employee but for me as a customer. That is far from being profesional towards an employee. I once considered applying for Starbucks but if this is the way some managers treat their employees than no thank you. The sign that was outside looked very proffecional and was acceptible to have up until they received the right one. If she had something so say about that she should of said in private because I honestly feel like she humiliated...
