Starbucks — Restaurant in Indianapolis

I understand that it’s a busy location, but some things stand out as adding to the frustration of waiting 30 minutes. The baristas were chatting so much with each other that the slowness was exponentially longer. One of the baristas barely said the name on the cup and no one could hear her.

I don't know why, and they were so busy I didn't want to inconvience anyone else by complaining. Maybe this was a communication error or maybe it was just a fluke. Either way 4/10 probably...
