As a customer who recently visited the Starbucks store at Arundel Mills, I feel compelled to share my experience regarding an issue I encountered during my visit. While the ambiance, service, and quality of beverages at this Starbucks location were up to their usual high standards, I was disappointed to discover an unexpected increase in the price of my order without prior notification.
The lack of transparency about price changes was concerning, especially because I wasn't informed beforehand that the prices had been adjusted. It's essential for businesses, especially renowned chains like Starbucks, to communicate any alterations in pricing to their customers openly. This allows patrons to make informed decisions about their purchases and prevents any sense of unfairness or surprise when they reach the payment counter.
The sudden overcharge without prior notice affected the overall experience and left me feeling somewhat misled as a loyal customer. While I understand that businesses may occasionally update their pricing, clear communication about such changes is crucial to maintain trust and satisfaction among their clientele.
I hope that Starbucks takes note of the importance of transparent communication regarding price adjustments at all their stores, including the Arundel Mills location, to ensure a positive and trustworthy relationship with their customers. As a suggestion, implementing visible notices or informing customers verbally about any price modifications upon ordering would significantly improve the overall customer experience and avoid any feelings of being...

The young man told me they were closed early because they were short staffed. My next question was then “why are you even answering the phone?”. I asked to speak with the store manager.

Again I explain I initially called to find out what entrance the store was closest to, I’m sitting at the Best Buy so I’m not far. Now I have 10 minutes before closing so what would happen if I placed the order through the app. He stated he’d make it but in the back of my head I’m thinking , he’d make it but I won’t trust it or him not to do something to my drinks. He again proceeded to tell me how frustrated I sounded, which I could deal without. This man was unprofessionalism and to keep telling me how frustrated I sounded doesn’t help matters. I told him that I didn’t not want anything from that store and I started to ask for his supervisor name and his name, he hung up on me. Are you kidding me?! I taking this all the way to corporate. This is a shame. I could’ve sworn that all Starbucks employees just went through sensitivity classes but I guess they didn’t. This employee must have...
