Starbucks — Restaurant in Town of Islip

I had a $20 gift card and used it for the 1st time on Oct 28th. My purchase was for 12.22 and the barista have me a receipt showing a $7.78 balance. I never used the card again. I went to make a purchase today Nov 10 at the Islip location again and the barista said I owed money. I didn't spend more than 7.78. She said my balance was 99 cents. I showed her my receipt with the 7.78 balance. She insisted my balance was 99cents. I canceled the order and left. I called the 800# and asked when the last purchase was. She said my purchase was at 5:16pm and the 2nd purchase was the same day at 5:18pm for $6.79. Leaving me a 99 cent balance. I DID NOT MAKE A SECOND PURCHASE THAT DAY!! She refunded the money back to my card and said she would notify the manager at the ISLIP BRANCH. This leads me to believe the barista charged my card and kept the receipt..for a possible refund OR HER BEVERAGE ???? What else could it be. She gave me the card back before helping next customer so I didn't pay for his order. What do you think could have happened? Any suggestions from my followers???? This smells rotten to me 🤔 and the medicine ball tea I ordered was made incorrectly..it sucked. It was made with 2 bags one being a peach tea..that's not in a medicine ball tea. This experience was a TOTAL EPIC FAIL FOR ISLIP STARBUCKS!!...

Good coffee, nice seating area with comfortable armchairs or bench seating and individual chairs which can comfortably seat two people across from each other. The seating arrangements may be adapted to handle groups of after-school kids as well as family members and businessmen. The restrooms and sugar and cream prep area are well-maintained even though this establishment can become very busy at times. That is important to me. I cannot say that about many Starbucks restaurants. This location is not far from Islip Town Beach on the bay as well as the ferry service to Fire Island from Bay Shore nearby to the West via Main Street. There is no other Starbucks conveniently located for me in the general South Shore area but Sayville to the East on Montauk Highway/Main Street. I am glad this establishment is here in Islip for good coffee and relaxation. Check out the terrace area out front with circular tables and umbrellas to shield you from the sun. Free parking is located behind this venue with access via the rear door, as well as limited parking on Main Street. Overall, this is a good place for people watching and socializing, as long as you can distract your potential new friend-you-have-not-yet-met from surfing the Internet. ...

I usually come here only when I’m having a rough start to my day. I’m usually shy, so even though the baristas know me pretty well, I sometimes pretend to be a total stranger. Gotta keep that air of mystery alive while ordering my black coffee with four pumps of mocha sauce or a chai tea latte, depending on how dramatic my crisis is that day.

They’ve got great style, especially those green overalls that make them look like they’re either about to brew my coffee or win a gardening competition.

They usually remember my name… though next time I’m tempted to lie just to see if they’ll still yell “Travis!” with confidence.

By the time I leave, I’m caffeinated, my mood’s upgraded from “tragic indie film” to “lighthearted rom-com,” and I’m already planning my next...
