Ya know... This location is so hit or miss. The drive-through is Always staffed by friendly people. But I like to go in. Except... It seems like fairly often, there is some interpersonal stuff going on, and all of the inside staff is in a growl. Yesterday, I walked in, and there was no eye contact from any of the (six!) people there for at least 5 minutes. When I pointed that out to 'my' barrista, she just grunted.

Let’s just give it to you hot with a cup of ice. Yea not. Starbucks should close their doors for a month to educate and train their staff properly. This includes manners, good hygiene, empathy, a smile, knowledge and amazing customer service. I’m pretty sure they’re all lacking this important piece of their positions. Get...
