Starbucks

I was a partner back in the 90s. There was so much talk of “3rd place” back then. I had such an amazing visit on July 4 where the staff went above and beyond to brew some blonde roast just for me. I genuinely felt seen. The interaction with the staff was authentic and made a true impact on my day. Felt like the good old days. Kudos to this location.

My wife ordered a mobile order ahead of time. I couldn’t even pull into the drive thru lane as the line was backed up down the street going in the opposite direction I was approaching. I wiggled into the parking lot and went inside to get my wife’s drink. She had asked me to get her a cup ice water. After grabbing my wife’s latte, I stood there at the pick up area for no more then 5 seconds with a look of “I need something else” and one of the baristas asked if I needed anything. I thought with a long drive thru line and about 20 other mobile orders sitting on the counter that no one would have time or the care to get me a free water. Well they got it for me and very quickly at that. Keep up the great service!
