Starbucks — Restaurant in Saint Paul

I go to Starbucks every day. I get the best service at this location. The manager, Jennifer, is friendly, efficient and always makes sure that I am able to get what I need and quickly so I can get to work. It amazes me how she can remember so many people and their "usual" drinks! I work in a customer service environment and this location is a shining example of great customer service. Some of the staff, Tia, Amanda, Anna, Eli, are the people I have the most contact with and they always make me feel special.

I ended up going to another Starbucks on White Bear Ave, where the service was excellent. Save yourself the hassle and skip this location until they get their...

The manager gives specific crowd of customers an attitude with no sense of professionalism. I believe this store would do better with more enthusiasm and less about the logic of, "Just doing your job." There's a difference, and knowing the difference will empower her and her workers. Simply speaking, don't judge a book by it's cover. A job's a job. If you're able to smile to a customer, then treat the rest the same.

This is coming from a worker with 6 years of customer service and as how I was a supervisor at Caribou Coffee. There's a young lady there who makes amazing drinks and I truely believe she needs to be...
