Probably one of the worst experiences as a Starbucks customer. To the girl on 11/13, taking my order through the drive-thru at 8:24pm, you should reconsider working in customer service. The ability to make a customer feel uncomfortable and disrespected because you didn't do your job is absurd. I arrived at the drive thru to have my order taken, I provided my order with a long silence, nothing on the screen for me to review or having my order repeated back (typically something you'd expect to ensure they aren't getting your order wrong). So, I proceed to the window, which was my mistake, I should have done her job and reiterated to ensure my order was correct. I come to the window and asked the women if she was able to repeat back the order. I clarified the drink was half the pumps (instead of 6 I ordered 3 pumps), she turns to look at me and says "Well, you said 2." Proceeds to get on her headset to speak to the barista, as the window closes and I can clearly see her through the window and hear bits and pieces of myself being "wrong." She comes back a couple minutes later looks at my and hands me my drink huffing with a bad attitude. I'm not asking you to be overly polite, I'm asking to have some decency as you are interacting with customers. How are you going to be so ignorant to not do your job correctly and then be upset at...
Read moreI never feel obligated to post reviews about chains because generally, people know to expect wish-washiness from them. HOWEVER, after a dozen times of coming to this location and them never failing to get our order wrong every single time calls for a review & a call for management to either: 1. train better. Or 2. put more care into their products. They skimp big time on their ingredients, be it whipped cream, sauces, or syrups. I order the same two drinks from Starbucks and it always tastes unsweetened at this location only. Cups are filled 3/4 of the way. 60% of the time, they’ll give me a hot latte instead of iced or vice versa… leaving me to have to asked to get it remade. And don’t get me started with staff, they ignore you for the most part and they always look at your funky when you ask to have your drink made right. I promise I wouldn’t ask if the drink was made right the first time, especially at $6 a drink. I always dread coming to this one but the continence of it being by the freeway wins sometimes. But The location off Highland Ave. is significantly better! My favorite location in San Diego. Friendly, Clean, and always gives me the best tasting drinks. Go...
Read moreJust don't go to Starbucks. Visit your locally owned coffee shops for a much better experience. We came to this Starbucks because they're the only place open nearby. This location has a super loud air conditioner at the front door. One of the very few electrical outlets did not work so we had to move to another table. Then I ordered a hot green tea and specified I wanted no sugar and I received a matcha latte with sugar instead. The girl working at the counter was very friendly and replaced the drink quickly with a larger size. She was wonderful and gracious. Then we sat down to do our work and the Wi-Fi was super slow to the point of almost not working. The manager said there was nothing she could do. Once we were able to connect Starbucks has an open wi-fi system and you're forced to sign in through their portal and commit to receiving their promotional emails. What up...
