Starbucks — Restaurant in Irvine

This is by far the WORST Starbucks I have been to in the Irvine, Tustin, Santa Ana etc area. And I have been to all of them. Have been a lifetime customer. As far back as I can remember. I agree with Alissa and the previous 2 ladies on their reviews. I had the same very very bad experience with staffer Ryan. Can't even call him a staff member because he is not. He is erogent, rude and seems like, to me, that he likes to pick on females so that MIGHT mean he MAY discriminate against us ladies. After coming back into the store to have them remake my drink...I asked for light ice and he told me I needed extra ice because it had 4 shots of espresso. The drink was a chocolate ice shaken espresso. Why advertise with 4 shots if your not going to make it that way and just fill the cup up with a bunch of ice. No chocolate flavoring. Tasted like drinking a terrible watered down cup of coffee with no taste for $5.95. To make it worse he argued with me to the point where I had to raise my voice in front of all your customers so I could get another drink made the RIGHT way. And even on the 2nd drink he still wasn't going to make it the way I wanted it to be made. Another employee had to step in and make it and he argued with them too!!!

Shame on Starbucks for hiring an employee with an attitude!!! They should be screened better. With inflation the way it is a Starbucks drink is a treat for me not a daily occurrence. I have been a loyal customer for many years and would have expected better treatment than what I received today. Unfortunately this Starbucks has been stricken off my list of Starbucks I shop at 😒😕☹️😟 I only gave 1 star because I had to to write the review. They should have -10 for the worst!!!

PS.....the 2nd drink from the 2nd barista was perfect and...

If you use mobile ordering, don't order at this location. My order of 1 menu item drink with no customization was 20 minutes later than the estimated time (30 minutes total), which would have been fine because these estimated times are just estimatations. Except customers who came in 20 minutes after me (10 minutes past my order estimate) and ordered in person got their orders before me. One even ordered the exact same drink as me!

Not only that, I asked the female employee in the pick up area if I can check on that status of my order in case it was forgotten. She had been calling everyone's name when their order was ready. Five minutes later, when my order was finally ready, she looked at the name of the drink and just set it down with the tag turned away from customers, without saying my name even though she knew I had been waiting for my order for 30 minutes already. My order was the only one that she didn't call...

Awful customer service and terrible for order aheads. I don’t usually complain when shorted drinks but today I got a venti and it was FULL of ice and about 2-3 inches below the top, just a layer of full ice on top. I asked if i could get like the syrup or something added to make the drink the size it should be she was so rude in asking which one and then gave me literally just syrup which did nothing in filling it, so I proceeded to ask for a new drink possibly or just like the milk to top it off and she said if I took the lid off she could put more of the milk then went and dumped it in spilling about half the product on the counter… maybe that’s where it went the first time she made it too and it was 1/3 empty wish I took a picture before the whole...
