Starbucks Coffee Company — Restaurant in Freeport

This response is regarding only the Freeport Starbucks. I regularly frequent the Bangor Starbucks and recently patroninized the Augusta Starbucks. I found both of those facilities to be far superior. The Freeport facility was poorly represented. Small to average sized store (not really an issue) but my coffee was actually bad. I like dark roasts hot, they were serving their Signature blend dark roast. While I prefer Starbucks French Roast, I've tried the Signature blend at the Bangor facility and while it was not as tasty as the French Roast, it was still very good.

If you're a business or hosting an event and you're looking to post a flyer on their community board. Do not leave your flyer with the employees. Apparently they just throw it away when you leave and I don't want anyone else to experience this especially when your time and money go into making them. Starbucks, if you're not going to put the flyer up, just tell the person asking to bring it back when you have space available. Don't tell them "yes" and then trash it. It's very patronizing and disrespectful. I get that it's a free service, but I was trying to be respectful of the space on your board and not move other people's notices. There are a couple of you that I see here regularly, [since October] please know this does not...
