I am a big Starbucks fan and the renovation they recently did at the East Hampton store is very attractive, but it's so much less practical than the prior layout. I don't know if they are purposely declaring war on those of us that like to sit with our laptop, but they have removed almost every possible place you could comfortably plant yourself with a coffee and a sandwich and work for a while. This is what I used to do sveral times a week and it was a real pleasure, and an important part of my life. When you look around the store now, people are still trying to use their laptops, but they're so uncomfortable because the machines are resting on their knees, which is not good ergonomics. It would be so easy for Starbucks just place two or three small cafe tables at those benches and then the problem would be solved. There would still be plenty of lounge-style seating for those who just want to chat with friends.

Read moreThe East Hampton Starbucks is hands-down one of the best Starbucks locations I’ve ever visited. From the moment you walk in, the staff greets you with genuine smiles and fast, friendly service. Even during busy summer mornings, they keep the line moving quickly without compromising quality. The drinks are always made perfectly—my iced coffee with cold foam came out smooth and balanced every time.

At one point I used to come here daily, but one employee in particular started to work my patience. No way you're paying that price for coffee to have a rude batista. McKaylia & Tristen should be ashamed of themselves! I watched this woman interact with customers, she is not a good employee for whoever owns the store.
When I call to get the manager's info the same employee picks up the phone and says "we're too busy" and hang up... as I can see the two employees discussing the phone call 😆 PATHETIC. Sad and surprised at the blatant rudeness and disregard. I have a feeling these employees are are not happy to be a work. I will continue to ask the Starbucks to review the employees of the day shift at the East Hampton...
