Starbucks

Got a scone, you could tell they don’t come fresh. The Wi-Fi didn’t work. Their card reader was not working, and the app didn’t work so I paid in cash. They ran out of cash for change at the register so they had to open the safe which has a two minute delayed timer so it held up the line for two minutes. Lower than typical cleanliness but still acceptable.

I went into this Starbucks this morning at 11 am. My friend and I each ordered a small Starbucks coffee. Then we looked around for a place to sit and discovered that they were not allowing people to sit in their facility. They said there's a sign as you come in to the building telling customers that they have no seating. They claim they were having problems with other customers so they had to close their seating area. The sign was small and not that visible. The two baristas acted totally unconcerned that we had no place to sit and basically shrugged it off. We had to walk a block plus to find a place to sit down and drink our coffee. This is not the way to treat customers if you expect them to come back and patronize your store. I will not be back to Starbucks in this area and in particular the one on 324 West Superior Street. The attitude of the employees there is poor. And you can tell them that. I will no longer buy gift cards for Starbucks. I will go to Caribou where they seem to care about their customers and treat them respectfully and in a dignified manner.

This place is pretty depressing to be at during the "pandemic". Though they made my coffee quickly and were nice enough. The bathrooms were closed, which is unacceptable, and does not allow people to wash thier hands even if they are a paying customer. The coffee was lack luster at best, probably coming down to the way Starbucks roasts it's beans.
