Ubiquitous $tarBuckies - unashamed, belligerently overpriced but conveniently omnipresent. This location doesn't distinguish itself above the rest. It's fine: adequately prepares the selected menu item - I stop there out of location convenience.
I travel alot so it is always fun when at airports I order a Venti Frap with 2 shots In and 2 shots On with Whip and as this rings-up at over $12 for this one non-alcoholic drink I tell them it's a free one using points, then THEY get to be the ones with the look on THEIR face they've been robbed. Airport $tarBuckies apparently have free reign to make-up ways to overcharge you even more than regular locations since if you want to sip on one while awaiting boarding you can't bring it in with you thru security - so you have to buy from them once inside. Where else do you see a charge of 75 cents for Whipped Cream labeled "added protien" on your drink receipt? At your regular 'Buckies school kids in the know not only ask for a free cup of water but they can also ask for a free cup of Whipped Cream (saw it happen for a group of kids and asked the Barista what that was all about - he said the kids know they can ask for it).

Baldwin and partners knew what they...

I asked for strawberry acai refresher and she asked with or without lemonade. I said im getting it for a friend and what is the default drink supposed to have? She said it has no lemonade. So I said ok. When I gave the drink to my friend she asked what happened to the lemonade. I went on the starbucks app and saw the default preparation actually comes with lemonade. So the barista purposefully gave ne the wrong information which resulted in the drink not being done correctly or she did not know how to make it. Either way im unhappy with...
Read moreYour drink is off brand! I ordered a salted caramel drink with fat free foam (typically that’s what I get) and at this particular Starbucks I got a sweet cream definitely not non fat drink that tasted fine but is not what I ordered! Expected a completely different taste and foam. The barista explained that the manager can’t get the foam working! Do I care? Can you fix this so I don’t get a completely inconsistent drink here? This is the closest Starbucks to my work so that’s pretty ridiculous that the manager can’t get the...
