Starbucks is pretty much Starbucks the only real difference is whether you Have a good barista or not. Some people aren't good at following instructions for your drink and/or arent properly trained and your drink suffers the consequence. And at the price you pay for your starbucks drink there's no allowance for a messed up order, you expect to get what you order! Often my same drink I go to Starbucks for will be different every time I order it, it's a sweetcream cold brew, and its so delicious i wanted one every time- but half the time they will serve iced coffee(yes its different) and call it cold-brew yet i still pay the higher price for the coldbrew as opposed to the less expensive iced coffee and they hardly put any sweet cream in it.

I felt the need to write this review because Starbucks is a leading company that everyone holds at a high standard I'm sure and I think for a company with such high standards and expectations that their standards for workplace peace would be higher and I was appalled to have seen such a blatant display of disregard for the very workers who make this...
Read moreThe largest Starbucks location in Tucson, one employee told me. On Thanksgiving morning 2017 I went inside, believing it would be faster than drive-thru. There was no one in line, a great sign. I order, pay, turn around and see a dozen or more people at the pick-up window. I sit and play on my phone, watching the line shrink and grow here and there. It took over 1 hour for my coffee, and would have taken longer had I not gotten up to ask what the hold up was. My ticket was on the floor, being walked on by the barista. Maybe an electronic system would work better. The coffee was great, but I wasn't even offered a...
