Starbucks — Restaurant in Falls Church

Update 2: Red-haired barista, who claims she started in 2004, was rude. I inquired about product in the case, and she badgered me with questions to clarify, so I stopped the abuse my turning away. She could have simply come to the front of the counter and asked what I was inquiring about. Like so many in retail, she says "Sir" to pretend courtesy, then becomes almost vociferous when customers need help.

I think she also gave free drinks to what seemed to be neighborhood peeps who likely would have failed a sobriety test.

Man barista did not offer a plate even though I was eating on site. So I ate on a paper bag.

Update: Woke mgmt allows people to sleep in the chairs. Not a place to bring children. Go next door to Tropic Grill.

Original ad: Extensive outdoor seating on large, regal wooden picnic tables with heat lamps built in, for the winter, and huge Mediterranean-style yellow umbrellas to block the sun, in the summer. The whole plaza has deluxe seating. // Thanks Federal...

I typically don’t come to this location but being that I had an exam at Prometric, it was the most convenient. I am a Starbucks phonetic and everyone is usually (super) friendly, no matter what location I run into. I walked in, got my coffee quickly, which was great. The time was between 5:30am-6:00am, I had to review some important material before my test. I realized the music was obnoxiously loud so I asked one of the two ladies to please turn it down. She said “yeah I know I can barely hear any customers, I will tell blah blah blah” of course, someone else. I didn’t know such a simple request would require an escalation. I sat there, studied, looked around and no one did anything about it. I have never seen such disregard at a local Starbucks. Be CONSIDERATE and KIND. It’s FREE! It was a simple request and no one budged. I won’t come back here for this...

I was always impressed how this Starbucks always had it together, and with app orders ready when they say they will be. The manager with the ponytail- Dave I think? Is always so friendly and helpful. But if he isn’t there that day, this place seems to be a mess. The last several mornings (over a few weeks) I’ve ordered my coffee and breakfast sandwich well in advance, they have not had the sandwich ready for more than 10 mins past the estimated time ready. A few minutes, okay, more than 10- now I’m late for work. The baristas seem super flustered and making excuses that someone’s not there, or they’re really busy. Instead of wait, I asked for a refund of the missing item. The first time they didn’t know how to do that, but luckily today they took care of it promptly. I will be more hesitant about ordering from this location in the morning...
