Starbucks

Don’t listen to the corporate aon center shmucks on this review thread—they just get upset when other people’s coffee gets made before theirs (I’ve seen it). The employees at this Starbucks work harder than God, every day. This store is located at the bottom of the Aon Building, which means every employee and their mother on 70+ floors wants their coffee at 8:45am before their board meeting at 9. Listen maybe one of the accountants in the building can check me here, but there are maybe 6-7 employees behind the counter and I wouldn’t be surprised if you told me they receive 100 orders between 8 and 9. If they are short staffed they are extremely transparent and apologetic and usually look like they are fighting for their lives as a swarm of people in uncomfortable clothes carrying briefcases descends upon them at 8:55 demanding their coffee. And somehow the employees all remain very pleasant and courteous throughout. My only note is that Starbucks Corporate ought to give its morning crew some major compensatory kudos, and equip this store with an order status display so customers who ordered at 8:48 do not expect their drink to come up at 8:49. As in many things, perspective is key.
