Starbucks — Restaurant in Tulare

Went to this location on 3/7/25 and ordered an ice water in my stainless steal personal cup. I typically always do this when ordering because their water is triple filtered and always tastes clean and crisp but today at this location when I received my order and took a big sip what I tasted was horrid. It tasted very foul of mold. I was very disgusted and as a concerned customer I called to bring it to their attention and the woman whom answered the phone said "well no one else has complained chuckles then says and we use it in all of our teas too and so yea no one else has brought this up."
