Starbucks

There was a young lady...maybe mid-aged at the counter....who reminded me of someone I would of went to high school with. Her energy was awesome!!! I'm at an age where your either your wage, job or marital status defines your confidence levels....hence my personal concerns....her cashier customer service was magically entertaining,kind and oddly upbeat! Thanks a million for making my coffee visit great. Sorry I didn't get your name to post on here....also love the ceilings there.

Baristas I LOVE YOU ❤️. This review is not about the Store Staff of Starbucks. They define lovely human spirit, like Trader Joe’s. This is about Corporate Starbucks that in my POV is a villain. Allow me to explain. Restrooms at this and all Starbucks were closed during Covid. Understood! So needing to pee meant walking over to Vons (grocery store), or Lemonade (restaurant). ARE THOSE PEOPLE WORKING AT THOSE STORES LESS EQUAL? Or less susceptible to Covid virus? Starbucks, McDonald’s, Arco AmPm were not doing a favor being open. They were open to make profitable sales and their revenue: profits prove that they succeeded. At the cost of US who had to carry a jug in the car, just in case? Grocery Stores stepped up as Food Service Behemoths getting rich selling high high sugar high profits retreated from being decently human. If a Sprouts could, so could McD in the same parking lot! I now get breakfast sandwich at Chick fil A which tastes better than McDonald’s, get coffee drinks and coffee at Peet’s or Illy (for French Press and Keurig). And in a way glad that their dirty abrogation of human decency made me discover great coffee! Major Dickason and Illy are fantastic and not much more than Starbucks. The MOST amazing courtesies were provided by an operator of Chevron Stations in RPV, Indio etc. I think they are called G&M: their stores were clean and restrooms cleaner and available to all. I switched to Chevron which costs more than Arco because I did not have to go in a bottle like I had to when refused restroom access by the AmPm stocked to the rafters by beverages! I have self respect!
