Starbucks is unique in that they call your name and for people of color, this is often an opportunity for them to butcher it. I could conform and change my identity and name just to make it less confusing to pronounce 2 syllables (Hum-Mod). This is often a solution offered to me. But today, it was “Hannah”, and I’ll leave you to analyze why that was pronounced. In the same 5 minute visit, I saw how this trade off for people of color was completely wrong.

Read moreThe last 3 times we visited this location the service was off. Overlooked, quality low and slow even though the place was virtually empty.

I asked for a bag and was told 5 cents, I was unaware fast food restaurants are now charging for bags 🤷♀️. The quality in this place just continues to decline. Only reason I was there was bc of a coupon, but everytime I try to give starbucks another chance they just prove to me why I need to go to a...
