Starbucks

I am generally not a big fan of Starbucks because they make it so hard to avoid sugar. Almond milk, soy milk, all are sugared versions. It would be much better if they used no-sugar added versions for lighteners and then let customers add sugar to taste. However, the customer service at this particular Starbucks, is nothing short of amazing. The drinks were delivered super quickly, the baristas knew the local customers--and drinks--by name, and the staff kept busy. During downtime someone was cleaning lamp shades! The person who is managing this location is doing something right.

It is a small shop and it was packed during the Denver Women's March with only 3 people working but they were pleasant and efficient. There was a constant stream of customers for hours but the staff kept them moving along at a steady pace. Kudos to them for staying cool in what must have been a stressful time.
