    I have been purchasing Starbucks a lot using my cash app card. I reached out to Starbucks customer service so they could add my purchases or receipts to my account for points. I emailed them and received an automated email back saying someone will reach out to me. No one has as of yet. I sent out another email and still didn't get any assistance. Starbucks is ignoring me about receiving help

    Starbucks Como Lake. Bad attitude of the cashier, demonstrative arrogance and didn't greet me, misspelled my name, then laughed at me with the staff. Orders are often confused, it is better to take a check in order to get the desired drink later. The order took a long time, one day we had to wait 30 minutes. Bad place.

    Me and my friend were at Starbucks and my card didn’t work. Thankful the worker there, paid for our drinks. And was very nice about it, it didn’t seem to bother him that he paid for our drinks. This made my day, but made me look like a fool because my card didn’t work. All thanks to Dillon. At Shoreline WA in Safeway. Thank you so much Dillon for the help, support and, kindness.

    This past Sunday, 5/21/2023 we went through the drive in and bought 2 Double smoked breakfast sandwiches, expecting it to have back and Gruyere cheese and an egg. They did not. We got 2 buns pasted together with unidentifiable something. We were on the road somewhere or I would have turned around and returned them. I know their food comes pre packaged and only warmed at the store, so I fault the company for falsely selling food that does not meet the picture on display at the ordering kiosk. Just how many millions does Starbucks need to make on a daily basis? Their food is already overpriced. I mean, how much does 1 egg, 1 small slices of bacon and cheese cost?

    I received a gift card on 4/20/2023 but not able to use it today, 5/11/2023. I believe no one should purchase Starbucks gift card anymore, because this is the 2nd time I was not able to use a Starbucks gift card...the first time was a thank-you card from the coordinator of our church's Foster the City program; all of us "support friends" helping out the foster families with various tasks received a card but it turned out we were all told not to use it because for reasons unbeknownst to him the cards were invalid. Sadly it happened—again...this time I received a card from a trusted friend and the same happened. I already texted her and let her know what had happened. I'm having a bad feeling Starbucks is having some kind of scam. I'm so appreciative of my friend’s kind heart and texted her about the card because I feel uncomfortable about what Starbucks is doing and personally I will not purchase Starbucks gift cards in the future, anymore.

    For me to come on here and leave a review for your store on town east (New store beside HS) y'all need to do better! Tell your employees to stay off their phones and put effort into doing their jobs or employ people that actually want to work! I waited patiently for my coffee as did everyone else but my frappe tasted like crap! I don't drink Starbucks very often and if I do I go to the one on military and never had an issue there whatsoever l! BUT TODAY, I happen to be in the town east area and decided to treat myself to a frappe! Unfortunately it tasted like crap, and seeing an employee on their phone after receiving my coffee irritated me cause if they put as much attention into doing their job as they do their phone it probably would get them more than one star!!

    Paying $6.22 for coffee that I end up throwing away is a waste of money especially with inflation at a all time high!! Starbucks I even try adding a bottle of y'all's mocha frappe to the one I had already purchased to maybe help it but it just made it worse!!! Listen I don't do reviews at all, but for me to take time out to write this should mean something to your business!!

    Ok so, I already had in mind to stop going to Starbucks since it was costing me like 250$ a month. When I saw on Tiktok how unhealthy their drinks really are, I just knew I had slow down my intake. But today that was it for me. They told me that to have a free drink is no longer 150 stars - it’s now required to accumulate 200 Stars. No way, this is a sign from the Universe for me to really stop drinking their unhealthy drinks. They can go and require 1000 Stars for a free drink if they wish - I don’t care because, I really am not interested anymore.

    I have had enough of this companies deceitful ways. A 16oz Grande and 24 oz Vente both have 2 shots of espresso. All you are paying for is more milk which weakens the taste. Logically if a grande has 2 shots then a vente should have 3. The shots have already been reduced in size over the years. Secondly Tips are based on performance...to ask us to tip before we can even finish cashing out is no right. You are pressuring us to leave a tip before we even get our coffee. What if the service stinks? I think you should go back to using a tip jar that way if the service is good we can tip and if not we can leave. I am only one person but you have lost me as a customer and I will do whatever I can to spread the word.

    You don't care about your customers enough in my opinion and the only way to prove otherwise is to make the changes that need to be made. You can start with the 2 complaints I raise. If I'm going to pay almost 10 dollars for a vente latte I would like for it to have 3 shots rather than 2 like the grande. Otherwise I would just order a grande. I will be doing this same review on Google and posting it on all my social media.

    Yet another person with a Horrible Experience at a Starbucks... Specifically, the Starbucks at Johnson Creek Crossing in Portland, Oregon. I was trying to give my order at the drive-thru, but apparently the person who was taking it couldn't hear me very well. A short, decaf vanilla mocha non-fat no-whip. Still, she had every thing right but the vanilla, so when she asked me if it was right, I said "Everything but the vanilla." She said she was having trouble hearing me, so I said loudly "Va-nil-la!" She said she was still having trouble hearing me, and for some unknown reason changed the drink to a grande vanilla latte, so I said loudly "Moch-a!" and then asked her why she changed the drink/size? She said she more about not being able to hear me, so in a very loud voice I said "SHORT... DECAF... VANILLA... MOCHA.. NONFAT... NO WHIP" At which point she said I was treating her badly and refused to take my order.

    After some pointless back and forth I asked for the manager. She claimed she was the manager. I asked for the contact information for her supervisor. She insisted that I come up to the window, and after waiting for other customers, I did, and she gave me the business card for her supervisor. I asked for her name, which she refused to give me because I was being "too aggressive". She also claimed that the name on her apron was not really hers. I asked for a way to identify her with the supervisor and she would only give me three digits from her employee number.

    Suffice to say, after telling me multiple times she couldn't hear me and then, in a clearly passive aggressive manner, refusing to take my order when I tried saying it loudly enough so that she could hear me, I find it hard to imagine ever wanting to put myself through this again. It's a shame - after 30 years of patronage, I think I'm done with Starbucks over-priced drinks and childish staff. It's not the first time I've experienced immature Starbucks staff, but it will be the last.

    Miserable customer service, executive department and website/apps. We have a Starbucks account where our payment method is linked to our account so we may earn stars for rewards. The Starbucks Cafe we go to is in a Market32/Price Chopper grocery store. Previously, every now and then purchase history shows with the $ amount, but no stars, shows as 0.0 earned. Then this started happening on a frequent basis. Called customer service, most speak English with a very broken accent. Explained the issue.

    We were told they stars are being added after the fact, even though they do not show in the history of the app & web page portal, the stars are still being added as they can see this on their end and to just "Trust Them". I don't trust them, the site should reflect the added stars/adjustment after the system adjustment in history. Each and every time we call them about the problem, there is an endless computer voice prompts from hell, then you need to jump through hoops to get to a live person, prior you need to enter your gift card #, the pin, then the person on the phone will ask you the same info. Waste of time. Also read plenty about accusations about Starbucks Union Busting Efforts, but denying it all. Another Woke, Go Broke Company.

    I frequent this particular Starbucks about 5 times a week. This is the Edgemont Branch location. My usual drink is grande in venti cup, extra milk. Most of the employees know my face and some know my name as I go there quite often. Today I went to get my usual drink. I know exactly how much coffee and how much milk goes into the cup. The coffee level is at the edge of the circle on the cup. So when I saw the amount of coffee was less than usual and had too much room, I pointed it to the employee. She then proceeded to go to the back to talk to someone else, then came back with a measured cup and said we can't do that and talked to me in a way that really ruined the experience for me as she was making a fuss over nothing.

    There was another employee who knew me and witnessed the whole interaction. I was disappointed at her reaction and couldn't believe that such a simple request from a regular customer led up to this kind of reaction. I got home and to prove to myself that I was right, I measured 16 oz of water and put it in the venti cup I had and what do you know... I was right. The amount should have been what I said all along. But my point is not even the amount of coffee, but her interaction and the way she responded to me that left a very bad taste in my mouth.

I started going to this one over 2 months ago and they still don't know my drink. Now it is very difficult. It's any hot coffee with 10 sugars stirred in then extra cream 1/2-1/2. Now if that's too hard to get how the hell did they get a job. I have been to Starbucks all over and in less than 3 days they know my drink but not here where 2 months ain't enough to understand something so simple and yes I go in every day.

    I know I can't spell sorry but I am homeless but I pay for my coffee everyday sometimes 2 or 3 times a day but for past 3 days I had to toss my coffee cause it was the worst coffee in my life and I feel the manager has told them to do my coffee wrong so I'll leave cause she hates homeless.. Well you tell her I'm not going anywhere so maybe she could do her job and fix my coffee correctly. If she can't do that maybe she should go and get a job at the coffee bean.

    She said something to me that I don't understand and if anyone could explain what it means please call me at ** and tell me what it means. (My regular customers don't like when people come in everyday, so they complain to me about you.) What the heck does that mean. They go in every day oh and they drink water and conduct the business out of Starbucks so they spend no money there and have a business with no overhead at all just money at Starbucks expense. Hell they even have meetings at Starbucks and they bring outside food also.. So who cares what they think or feel about anything until they pay rent and internet at a real office. Now I do play games and drink coffee I don't conduct my business out of Starbucks. I have an office to do my business..

    A Place to Be. The space I chose was Starbucks. Never in my life would I have imagined that I would be interested in writing a paper about this. I am currently traveling and it has been a place that I have been frequently visiting to sit down and take care of my studies. I am an avid coffee drinker also and love to sip on a beverage and take care of what I need to take care of. It is peaceful, although sometimes chaotic. I enjoy being able to sit down and do my work. I believe it is a great place for students like myself to sit down and be productive.

    Here is why I think it is a great place to study, it has good coffee; caffeine helps me adjust to the workload and I become more attentive. The smells of the shop awaken my spirit as soon as I walk in. The music is always positive and uplifting, ranging from soul to jazz and up to more modern musical artists. I feel like it is a great place to sit down for a while and get things accomplished. There is an atmosphere at Starbucks that is recognizable to most people. I have relied on going there to focus.

    The place provides seating and free Wi-Fi connection to easily get started on the tasks. I also can sit down and charge my accessories to keep things going. I can sit and remain undisturbed for the duration of my visit. If I decide to use the restroom, it's always clean and serviced regularly. If I decide I need more coffee It's right here in front of me. Sometimes after completing my work and studies, I decided to grab a nice hot beverage for the road. They always offer new and tasty drinks. I am sure there is something for almost anybody.

    I love the atmosphere here; it's always pleasant even when it is operating at a high volume. I feel like I can be myself and focus on exactly what I need to focus on. I don't ever feel like a nuisance. I enjoy witnessing the smiles of the staff and people coming through momentarily. I enjoy the space that is here because I get to sit and watch the community doing what they do. I like seeing other customers taking advantage of the space and being productive also. I enjoy completing my work and going home afterward. It is a great place to meet and have conversations with friends, family, and just about anyone. I have done one-on-one 12-step work with fellow people in recovery. It is a hub for networking.

    I highly recommend any person to try out and take advantage of the space and sit and stay awhile. I have been able to accomplish a lot of work, not just school studies. I love coming in to get my favorite beverage, but I also love being extra productive. It is surely a space that will not disappoint anyone. I think it is a place to be because it offers freedom of individuality and expression. To me, it is a place to be human and myself.

    I walk to the Starbucks near my house every other day and get the same drink every day, chai tea latte. The service is usually great and I don't have to wait that long at all. The employees are friendly and kind. This goes for other locations that I visit. Unfortunately, the quality of Starbucks products has significantly declined and the prices have skyrocketed but that is understandable given the current economy. Every time I get a chai tea latte, it either tastes like water or nothing but milk, and on top of that, I am paying a premium for the venti size.

    This is like this at every store I have visited and tried the drinks. Nobody should be paying for a diluted product at a premium price. Even if there are supply shortages that don't mean that it's okay to overcharge people for a bad product. It ruins the whole experience and enjoyment of the products that they sell. I noticed that nearly all of the drinks have nothing but sugar in them. Why is that? And why are the prices so high for just a sugar-water drink?

    The Starbucks coffee drinks cost a good deal of money. So when I pay for a coffee drink. I expect to get coffee, not a milkshake. But there are milkshakes hidden in the Frappuccino menu. If it is for kids. It should be labeled "kids drinks" or "milkshakes." That is just really disappointing. I ordered a Strawberry Creme Frappuccino, thinking that it was like the Strawberry funnel Cake Frappuccino, which was really good and had coffee in it. But they stopped selling that and instead there was just this disappointing strawberry milkshake that I ended up with.

    Why isn't there any variety in the Frappuccinos? Why is it mostly all milkshakes?? I'm sick of constantly ordering Caramel Frappuccinos because there's no variety. And then I try something new and it ends up not even having any coffee in it. I understand Starbucks is not creative. But I wish they would at least labels things right so that people aren't confused and end up spending 7 bucks for milkshake.

We regularly buy coffee beans worth $20 from Starbucks and when we ask for a bag they have started providing excuses like "We have run out of bags." Their products are so expensive but they cannot provide a paper bag to even carry the purchased product. In USA, WEGMANS store provides huge strong paper bags for even the smallest purchase made.

    I came back to Oklahoma City due to a business meeting and to visit my family. While visiting a Starbucks location in Oklahoma City, OK at 200 S Oklahoma City, OK 73104, I was threatened verbally as well as physically by an employee. I am a long-time daily customer of Starbucks. I would say I visit a location at least 335 days out of 365 per year. On the morning of April 5th, 2022, I went in to purchase my usual daily cup of coffee. I decided to purchase a protein box and a cheese and fruit box as well. While waiting in a fairly long line I arrived at the counter in which I were greeted by a young lady named **. My order was placed for a venti sized blonde roast of brewed coffee, including eight packages of agave, sugar free vanilla, cream and the two boxes discussed above.

    After placing my order, ** continued to help five other people, pouring brewed coffee for a couple of them and sending the orders for the rest of them over to the line being worked by ** and **. I noticed everyone waiting for their coffee before I ordered as well as everyone in line after, leaving with their coffee. I noticed a guy working with the hot food items and asked him who the manager was due to my wait as well as my concern for my coffee. He stated he was the manager. Later identified as **. I went on to explain the service I was receiving whereas he directed ** to make my coffee.

    ** and ** began stating the coffee was previously made and my name was called going back and forth with the manager stating another customer walked away with it. The statements were simply not true. My name was never called, and my order was never made. As I stated above, I am a daily customer. I order the same exact coffee every day visiting my home location as well as many other locations while traveling. When placing a brewed coffee order the representative taking the order usually prepares the coffee order. ** neglected to do so while preparing all other brewed coffee orders before and after me, as customers placed their order. ** did not like my asking for a manager and became very aggressively abusive behind the line.

    I asked the manager for her name which he stated was something different than **. I knew at that time I was going to be reaching out to the corporate office due to **’s behavior. I did not have a complaint regarding either of the other representatives **, **, and ** whereas I do understand Starbucks can get busy and things can be forgotten. While being so flustered regarding **’s behavior and the disbelief regarding how the manager on duty ** oversaw my complaint, I began to walk out while shockingly, **, ** and ** began waving at me smiling yelling for me to have a good day.

    This area of the whole ordeal deemed to be completely antagonizing. While arriving at my destination I noticed I did not have my food items and drove back to Starbucks. I walked in and spoke to everyone whereas **, **, **, and ** were all looking at me as if they were surprised, I returned. I walked to the register advising **, I left my order. She than stated in front of everyone including other customers she saw me walk out with my bag. I explained to her I did not have my bag when I left, and she said she was positive I did. ** stated this fact at the least four to five times. Again, I stood completely shocked an employee would be allowed to state to a customer they were lying about leaving their order. Instead of treating me as a customer she treated me as I were a criminal.

    I looked over at the table I originally stood by while waiting for my coffee and noticed my bag sitting on the table. After retrieving my bag, I asked for ** if I could speak with him in private regarding the treatment as well as the behavior of his staff. He refused to speak with me in private. I asked him for the name of the cashier which he gave to me. This gesture upset ** even more where she began to state rude gestures walking over to me pointing at her badge stating I pronounced her name incorrectly and then began to walk as if she were going to charge at me physically stating “people like you is why I am moving out of this country”. ** then began to physically hold her back from attacking me while walking her to the back of the store.

    ** yelled out be sure to tell Corporate my name is **. I walked in to get a bag of food I purchased and left due to the behavior of the staff at this location and was verbally and physically threatened being spoken to with blatant disrespect as a customer as well as a person. My goal was to contact Starbucks customer service regarding the actions of staff as well as the discrimination I received from **, “stating you people are the reason I am leaving the country.” I have had a couple of bad experiences when it comes to service from Starbucks however this one was the worst.

    ** threated me with physical and bodily harm while working at Starbucks. I should have called 911 due to the severity of the threat. ** was extremely aggressive, and management did not oversee the situation properly whereas if he would have it would have never escalated to such violence. I will need someone to contact me regarding this. I contacted customer service regarding this. I will need these actions as well as behavior addressed as soon as possible as well as a return phone call.

The complaint is just the price increase, at this time it is unnecessary since you can not distribute the products and keep single locations in stock ever. It is a toss up if what you want will be available that day or not. You can get product off line and make it for way cheaper at home. With the break down you can make a Frappuccino that taste similar for $3.60 with top ingredients from home where when you go to Starbucks the same thing would cost around $7 to $7.25.

    (1) Vt Car Br Frap

    (2) Vt Chai Tea Latte

    We then proceeded to wait for more than 20 minutes to be served. During this time, another patron entered the store, placed an order, and was served before us, as we waited. In addition, five customers were served in the drive-thru. While trying not to make any assumptions, all of the people served before us were **, while we were the only customers of color.

    If this was the case, your store, as well as your organization as a whole should be ashamed of your staff's actions! I am hoping that you take action with your staff, so that other patrons do not have the experience that we had as a guest in your establishment. Somehow, this behavior has become acceptable, while allowing people of color to feel humiliated, and unwelcome to participate in supporting your business. Then to add insult to injury, my wife's order was made incorrectly, and without care.

    While I am not a regular patron of your establishment, my wife visits Starbucks more than three times per week, and has always had nothing but positive things to say concerning your products. I expect that as managers I will receive a response, and an apology, and a concerted effort to keep us as customers. However, as I do not share my wife's optimism, I am preparing reviews outlining my experience to every organization in the Orlando area, as well as an attorney, to discuss our legal options, concerning the obvious racial overtones of your staff's behavior. With the kindest regards, I am; Donald

    So very disappointed with Starbucks. How is it possible to sell signature holiday drinks without the required ingredients? Their excuse for not having the supplies is getting tired. I heard these same excuses during the summer. I'd rather make my coffee from home. Plus, Starbucks has now increased their prices.

    If I could only give the corporate office “0” stars I would. Whenever I would send them a request for my stats or/and a qualified purchase, I would get it. During the time of this post, I did purchase a grande iced caramel macchiato which is a qualified macchiato purchase. I sent them my receipt where I did get my stars. BUT (a big but), they claim this isn’t a qualifying purchase. I did purchase a hot caramel macchiato earlier in the day. But I accidentally threw the receipt away (my fault).

    A few months ago I sent them two receipts and explained that I didn’t have my phone with me which has my app, and that I was requesting for my stars. In those previous replies, they said that I had already received those stars. How could I have received those stars when I never used my app. I give kudos to the stores I’ve visited because if I didn’t like the service, the store made it right each and every time.

    I contacted Starbucks customer service to ask why they only give one day to redeem their free drink for the birthday promotion. I wasn't able to use the free drink promotion on the one day allowed. I've been a customer for over 11 years and all they stated was, "Sorry, our policy has changed, have a nice day". I then contacted customer service online again to see how to cancel my membership card. I ended up calling and speaking with a representative. She took my information down and said I still have 34 cents on the card. I told her to keep it and just cancel the membership card. She stated, that's fine and the card will be deleted immediately. There was never a question why I'm canceling the card because obviously, I was upset.

    The bottom line, in my opinion, is that Starbucks is a money-hungry business that cares nothing about their customers. I would have thought they would have made an exception for their lousy, "free drink". I've been a customer who regularly buys Starbucks at their stores or their affiliates, like Target or the grocery stores. It's not the free drink that bothered me as much as their, "I don't care attitude". They lost more from me than their free drink Birthday promotion, because I won't purchase from them ever again. I'm surprised they care so little about their customers. There's no loyalty at all, because a company policy, is a company policy that's not to be broken and... NO EXCEPTIONS!

    I have been a loyal SB Gold Card member for more than 10 years. Each day I buy 2 beverages, and on occasion, food or snack items. On a recent trip to a location in Florida, I ordered a hot coffee and other items. When I picked up the coffee from my car cup holder, the sides of the cup pushed in causing the lid to pop off and the coffee to spill on the center console of my car. Right on top of the technology ball that controls my radio, XM, NAV, cell, and internal features of the car.

    This is not the first time this has occurred. This is caused by the employee grabbing the cup and creasing the top pushing their fingers together and creating a crimp in the ridge. The crimp causes the lid to not properly seat on the top ridge of the cup causing it to pop off when you grab the cup toward the top of the outside about 4-6 inches from the top. SB has determined because the coffee was in my car at the time it spilled, they are taking no responsibility. WTF? I have decided based on the negative response I received from Starbucks Customer Service, I will no longer step foot in a store again, buy any of their products, or retain their stock going forward.

I received an offer to receive 50 bonus stars for six consecutive days of purchases while my daughter who rarely uses Starbucks received the same offer but for 100 bonus stars for six consecutive days of purchases. To me this says “we can take advantage of you because you are loyal and we will try to lure in the ones who aren’t loyal by giving them a better deal”.

    My favorite Starbucks items are frappuccinos. Even though Starbucks prices are high, a frappuccino made correctly is worth it to me. Unfortunately, their consistency has been all over the map. I have had frappuccinos that were as thin as water. Some were the wrong flavor or the wrong size. Some did not resemble frappuccinos at all and who knows what was actually in them. The one I had today was like that and this is what prompted me to finally write a review to vent about it.

    Okay, the world has far worse problems to worry about than weird frappuccinos. But still, it shouldn't be too much to ask that the quality of Starbucks offerings have more consistency to them. Perhaps better training and screening of your baristas? The "frappuccino" I had today was mostly foam with apparently a heavy overdose of caffeine. It had a strong burnt taste and was the first one that ever gave me an upset stomach followed by a dizzy headache. (?) Fortunately, I didn't try to finish it. Come on, Starbucks.

Complaints that stem from wiping my drink off with a dirty rag, leaving hair on my cup, taking my drink back from a customer's hand that was taken into his vehicle while I sit in my car behind him and once at the window was offered the same drink, to making my drink incorrectly and instead of remaking it the employee tries fixing it by adding ingredients through the top of the plastic top.

    All of these incidents were back to back within 2 weeks. That’s way too many. Starbucks needs to consider setting up secret shoppers so they can really see what is going on. We are in the midst of a pandemic. I don’t understand why a drink was even allowed to leave a customers hand and bought back through the window let alone that same drink given to another customer. I refused with resistance from the employee because she felt there was nothing wrong with the drink. Never mind being unsafe and unsanitary.

It seems that now in 2020 8 out of 10 times when I purchase a Venti coffee, the cup is only partially filled. Most times 2 inches short. I ask for whipped cream but rarely get it. If I don’t make them open the cup before they hand it to me to verify the drink, I have to call and or go back through the drive thru to have them fix it. Seems I am paying for a Venti but get a Grande most times. Since the happens across multiple stores, it seems to be the new business model requiring the customer to QA the quantity and quality of the order. I think Starbucks has started to decline and is now out priced themselves in the market. The “Coffee Experience” is no more when you can’t trust them when you place an order.

    5/13/2020. Worst customer service I’ve ever experience. Would not recommend this Pine Island location. I went to the Starbucks and at the entrance there’s a two way Street at was waiting on the right to make a right turn at. There were cars on the left. I waited for two cars to enter and I proceeded to enter. This mad lady came from behind me. Literally drove my car off the line violently and this lady name Bianca who works at this location who hasn't seen how crazy this woman push me out off the way. Almost crashing me with her car. Assumed that I was trying to cut the lady off without looking the video nothing. Refused to listen to me, side the other ** lady of course.

    I told my daughter to get out of the car to record how aggressive she was driving. Big mistake, the mad lady almost run her over. She was ready to kill my daughter with her car for coffee. I call this location to explain to a manager what happened. The same employee Bianca said to me that she was the manager. She refuse to listen for the second time and she hung up the phone after accusing me of coming from the parking lot which is false again accusing us of the wrongdoing without watching any of the footage and without being present. Worst customer service I’ve ever experience. Would not recommend this location.

    Went to the drive-through on Valley Creek in Minnesota this morning. The customer before me paid with cash - he received his change back - barista did not wash her hands and proceeded to hand me my drink. I am not pleased - should have refused to take the drinks.??. It was about 9:00 AM.

    There is no social responsibility at Starbucks. Starbucks is one of the most polluting stores in our City. There is no recycling whatsoever. Hundreds of plastic cups are tossed into trash each day at just one location, and thousands of them with all the locations in our City. When I asked the manager for the recycle bin, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't know how to get one." I walked out and saw a recycle bin that was being used as a trash can. I contacted Starbucks' website and gave my feedback, but nothing was changed at the local stores. For a company who pretends to be all about community, they are destroying our planet faster than most of other stores.

    Regular hot coffee of different sizes is too insipid and tastes almost like hot water in several Starbucks locations in southern California. One of the possible causes for the insipidity of Starbucks regular hot coffee is that store coffee brewers are not replenished with fresh coffee in a timely manner, especially during store rush hours. We made store associates aware of this issue at a few Starbucks locations but haven't seen any tangible improvement. This is a quality control issue that warrants serious attention from Starbucks' top management.

    I normally buy my Grande Pike at this Starbucks: 138 S Central Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90012. Today I decided to add bagel and cream cheese to complete my breakfast. I left and had to go back asap because the cream cheese given to me was an opened and used one. I asked for the Manager and she accommodated me but I had to say my piece to Chris who served me. I told him what was he even thinking about???? With all the plague all over the world why would you do that. He apologized but it never affected me because I don't know why he did that. Asked him why give me somebody else cream cheese??? What if it is contaminated. So how can I trust Starbucks now. Is that the training you have for your employees??? It is so Disgusting. I wish I could attach a picture of the cream cheese. So consumers check what you buy all the time.

    We are at MCO Orlando airport by gates 1-9. I waited 30 minutes in line to find out there was no bold blend. The girl behind the counter asked me if I wanted to wait 7-10 mins for them to brew a pot. I told her no, that I’d already waited 30. (There were 6 employees behind the counter but I think only two working - in fact I walked up to the second register when a customer left and the girl there told me she wasn’t open). So I finally got my two pikes ventis - had to charge thru my Starbucks Acct because I wasn’t going to wait in that line again and not enough cash for two coffees..

    Anyway the brown sugar in the raw was empty so I asked one of the only two folks working and she told me someone would be over to refill it in a few minutes. So I went to the other side of counter when I saw no movement to refill sugar and the girl told me she’ll do it in a minute. This seemed so rude. Then I asked someone else if there’s a manager on duty. She said it’s her. After I asked her twice not to call me sweetie and she finally called me ma’am she told me they stop making Sumatra at 11:30 am so it doesn’t go to waste. I told her first of all that I started waiting in line WAY before 11:30 and had I known no dark roast I would have gotten my coffee somewhere else. Terrible customer service. If they’re making any money it’s because there is not another Starbucks nearby. Terrible. Someone should “secret shopper” these franchises so the reputation of the company doesn’t go totally down the toilet.

    I've done my research and it seems like Starbucks does hiring people who hasn't worked in this industry "coffee". You just need to have good customer services. You can't teach anyone how to talk to people but you can always reach them how to make something. I have 5 plus years in retail customer services but both places said I have no experience. They both hired people who worked at Starbucks or have experience. Yes, it's very true I don't have the experience, but I have the customer services. I thought I did great in the interview. I feel like if they only wanted experienced people, they shouldn't had even given me a call or an interview me. I felt my time wasted and their time wasted too.

    When ordering this morning I clearly asked for a Venti drink. After I waited for a while, they brought my Grande drink and I told the barista that I had ordered a Venti. She said that they had charged me for a Grande and I said "OK, but I ordered a Venti" the Barista "not happy" started making my drink again and went to the cashier and asked her something which I couldn't hear. When she brought my drink over, she said to go to the cashier to pay the difference. Me, being a customer service supervisor, know the importance of treating your customers with kindness and knowing that if we mess up, we take the loss. What happened here? They made $0.50 but made my experience at this location very disappointing. When someone makes a mistake, own up to it and don't make the customer feel embarrassed.

    I've been frequenting Starbucks for about 15 years now. It's more often than not been a daily habit for me and I've been to more of their stores (in multiple states) than I can even remember. One thing I started noticing is they routinely ran out of stock in their stores. That is to say, certain snack items and even certain beverage ingredients would be depleted very often. It got to the point where I would ask for a certain item and (almost every time) they'd tell me they had to check to see if they even had it.

    I eventually asked a store employee why they keep running out of stuff and they told me that nobody IN the stores orders inventory, rather, corporate determines how much of what they should get. I assume what Starbucks is doing is maintaining a certain level of inventory that allows them to run out rather than have more than enough to satisfy demand (ya know, satisfy customers?) In doing this, they have less expired food to discard, but of course they are not adequately servicing their customers. I find this wholly unacceptable. If I'm willing to pay their exorbitant markups, (2 bucks for a pair of chocolate covered graham crackers or 4 bucks for a foamy hot beverage, for example), I want what I want when I want it. THAT is what I'm paying for, not to have to constantly choose alternatives to what I really want.

    Another annoyance that I've found with their Stores is they routinely get my orders wrong. I'm not one to give a bunch of special instructions or make special requests. I have ordered the exact same simple beverage for something like 10 years, and yet they somehow manage to get a simple order wrong maybe 1/4 of the time.

    Also, their prepaid Starbucks cards are a scam. They love when customers prepay because cards get lost, and people forget to use them, not to mention they get a huge infusion of cash that can be exploited for even more profit. I used to have a Starbucks card because I got free soy for my drinks, but they did away with that feature.

    Overworked, underpaid staff. Filthy, untidy stores. Title says it all. Moreover, too often long line-ups, not for the cash as much as for the coffee itself. Why, you ask? Well, see my title - understaffing. Bad management. Greedy CEO. Neighbours, family, and friends - we all do our best to avoid having to buy a coffee at any Starbucks store in Toronto. Anyone else thoroughly FED UP with Starbucks?

    I trusted Starbucks and stored over $700 on my three Starbucks cards to earn reward points. On Nov 18, 2019 I received an email from Starbucks saying I requested to change my account password. I didn't. Feeling suspicious, I checked my Starbucks account and found that my balance is $50. I thought my account got hacked and someone stole my money. I called Starbucks to report it. They said Starbucks cancelled two of my cards and took away my money. No reason was given. No emails explaining what happened, or why it happened. Like all this wasn't enough they told me on the phone they are taking the remaining $50 balance and I have to file a complaint to get my money back. This all seemed unreal to me and hard to believe. Starbucks decided to take away my money and I have to complain to them to get it back.

    I filed two complaints and was told that there is a risk associated with Starbucks cards and I won't get my money back. Because I purchased one $20 Starbucks card from a third party seller and transferred its balance to one of my cards, the entire balance of $680 + $20 is now gone. I'm now left with one option to get my money back which is to file a lawsuit against Starbucks. I was hoping to resolve this with Starbucks out of court, but unfortunately, Starbucks does not want this to happen. I believe this could set a precedence with Starbucks and puts its practice under legal scrutiny. Good for Starbucks and for its customers.

    Went to Starbucks today. Bought 3 croissants. Each one came in a transparent plastic wrap. I expressed my concern regarding the environment. The barista smiled at me and emphasized on every croissant's guaranteed freshness. Today, I felt that our efforts to become a more sustainable country is a lost battle as long as these big companies don't feel the need to become more environmentally friendly. To stop passing out straws deliberately is not enough.
