Starbucks — Restaurant in Tigard

Starbucks is Starbucks. Generally fairly consistent, but never anything to write home about as it’s become more and more commercialized over the decades.

And I expect even less whenever I visit what I refer to as a Starbucks “pop-up-shop” that resides inside of another retail establishment, like a Target or a grocery store (such as with this Fred Meyer). But this particular location takes the cake (pop)…

Not only did it take a full 5 mins for them to take my order for a “Venti Black Iced Tea, no sweetener” (mind you, there was no line, only me, with two people working behind the counter), but in the time it took me to pay by scanning my SB app and then walk down to the end of the counter, my drink was already up (thank goodness!), but it was incorrect (it figures…).

Now I could understand if it was packed in there (it wasn’t), or if the cashier was working alone (she had backup), or if I had ordered some crazy, convoluted concoction (literally the only thing on their menu easier for them to prepare is a cup of plain tap water), but there was really no excuse. And since I already had a massive headache at the time and was in desperate need of the caffeine, it probably annoyed me even more than normal.

However, they were both really nice about remaking it, and I ultimately got what I had ordered. Plus when I placed my order and told the cashier I wanted a venti, she looked me in the eye and deadpanned, “you want a large, right?” So I have to give a couple extra stars just for the effort and the free laugh alone.

Next time (if there is a next time), I think I’ll order a large just to see if she tells me, “so you want a venti, right?”, then promptly walk down to the end of the counter to pick up my “small milk,...

Super friendly but tried several times to explain nonfat mocha blended.... not frappe w/the added emulsifier they use, but that’s what they charged me for as well as extra for sugar free mocha. I finally said that I’ll just have a sugar free, non fat mocha but he told me he already rung it up. If it turns out wrong they would remake it. Lol.... oh well, it was not good, but I didn’t want to go through the...

Nice store, cashier was friendly, but when I stood in front of the employee who was making the drinks she could care less about asking me if I needed something. Didn’t even look at me. Just making drinks like a robot, no smile, just slamming the drinks on the counter as they were done. It’s no wonder...
