Starbucks — Restaurant in Seattle

Very disappointed with where starbucks has gone with the new branding. I sat and worked in a starbucks for 2 hours working and spent over $20. I ordered drip coffee and wasn't offered a for here cup, so drank my coffee from a paper cup. Went to get a refill and they wouldn't refill my coffee. I even showed them where I was sitting and that I hadn't left the store. Finally someone agreed to fill my coffee. If I'm not asked if it's for here or to go, the customer should be right especially when I haven't left the store. Then it gets better. I asked for a water and the barista proceeded to tell me I needed to buy something before I could get a cup of water. I told them I had already purchased something $20 worth and still said because it was a new transaction I would have to buy something.....whattt????

Very unhappy with where starbucks is going. Wouldnt be surprised if the sales decrease with these...

I was riding the Lake Washington loop and wanted to pop in, grab something to eat, sit outside, and enjoy the nice day. I walked in with my bicycle, since I was passing thru and didn't have a lock with me. I got to the counter and was told I could not bring my bicycle into the store. This is the only Starbucks, no wait, coffee shop, I have ever been to that has told me to leave my bike outside. The irony of course being, after I ordered I would have been outside anyway. If you are going to have a coffee shop on one of the busiest bike routes in Washington, you may want to be more tolerant of people not wanting to leave their bikes outside unsecured.

But, I must ask, why was it alright that someone's dog was in there?

I went to the next Starbucks and brought my bike in with no conflict, it is really odd that only this Starbucks has a no bikes...

Careful and friendly service for the most part, though I do miss the tenured faces that made the place feel homey (e.g. Maddie, James). One knock I have is really against the company and not the store. If they truly cared about the environment they'd offer more than a ten cent (what a joke) discount on a personal cup. I feel like I am the only one who cares enough to always use a personal cup and it is frustrating. And MOP always takes precedence, of course. I don't begrudge the wait, per se, but the profit-seeking philosophy at the expense of environment...
