Starbucks

Employees are courteous...unfortunately the drinks aren't great. Most of the time they lack the sweetness I seem to taste in every Starbucks. I thought it was just me but my s/o and sibling have had the same complaint as well as small mix ups when you seem to order anything other than a basic drink...store is well kept bathrooms are pretty clean for a place everyone uses as a pit stop just wish the drinks tasted better with the amount I'm spending!

So i come in this Starbucks ever another day or so because I work in the area and as a black male I'm starting to feel bullied by my experience. What bothers me the most is the barista never actually call my name when the order is ready or even make direct eye contact with me. No greeting no smile nothing. More importantly my order is consistently wrong. I mentioned my order being wrong a few times before but i felt like i was being more of a nuisance instead of receiving a positive customer service experience. I have watched other customers get greeted upon entry, get their names called and promptly receive their orders. Im curious to know why my experience is so different.

Petrol is at more than $6.00USD. when a cup of brew is worth more than a gallon of petrol, it's not simply inflation, it's the corporation gouging the almost empty pockets and purses of hardworking Americans, the vast majority of it's patrons living paycheck to paycheck. Secondly, it's the nefarious way Starbucks advertises it's products. A slice of banana nut bread is not a "loaf" this is the deceptive marketing ploy to make stupid people think they're getting more for their buck. A cup of coffee at Starbucks can run up to three or four USD but at a few local ma and pa cafes and coffee houses it can run between .97 to $2.00. This is not Algebra. The same coffee for less. And go by your "protein boxes" at Walmart selling the same exact items for two and three dollars less. The same "slice" of banana nut bread is $1.50 not $3.50 or $3.75 or whatever. The more you dummies buy at Starbucks the more it's owner and it's corporate fat cats get richer and richer leaving the rest of you counting your change because you privileged morons "just gotta have your Starbucks." Dry up and be people of honour. When will people wise up? Support your local smaller coffee shops. Let's put Starbucks out of business.
