    I have been a committed Starbucks customer for years, in fact since they came to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. I use the store on Jonestown Road and the store on Stratford Road. I had almost decided that I would stop using the stores because the staff has become so inexperienced. The lines are very long and in the morning when we are trying to get to work; an unnecessary delay due to lack of staffing and inexperienced staff is the last thing that you wish to encounter.

    This week, I went to the Starbucks on Stratford Road on Monday. My drink that I order most often was $5.07. On Tuesday, the same drink was $5.28. When, I inquired as to whether or not the cost of the drink was increased I was told: The holiday keys were turned on the register on yesterday evening so the drink cost have increased. So, everyone's Christmas or holiday greeting and present from Starbucks is a PRICE INCREASE! A price increase even before, they have even begun distributing the drinks in the holiday containers. Now, a 0.21 increase is not going to break my bank but over the course of the time for the holidays the increase will amount to the about $11.76 for a daily Starbucks customer. For starbucks, just the first 1 million customers will result in a net financial gain of $11,760,000.00. We know that they have more than 1 million customers!!!!!

    NOW JUST IMAGINE THAT STARBUCKS CONVENIENTLY FORGETS TO EVER REVERSE THE HOLIDAY KEY. SHAME ON YOU STARBUCKS!!!!!! I have decided that I will no longer visit your stores. I hope that other customers realize that you forgot to give us a christmas or holiday greeting for being your loyal customer. Instead, You greedily are demand a gift from us. Goodbye!!! Goodbye!!!

    I ordered two to go coffee boxes at least 10 days in advance. On the day I was to pick up my order, it was not ready. In fact whoever took my order didn't even write it down. So I had to wait and wait and wait for them to drip my coffee. No discount was offered, NOTHING!!! During my wait they could've offered me a coffee while I waited. In turn this caused me to be late to my very important meeting which Starbucks doesn't care about. So basically, very poor service, uneducated staff, unpleasant service at the new Starbucks store in Fairbanks, Ak on the corner of College/Old Steese.

    A few weeks ago, I went into Starbucks on Main St, in Brighton to study for my college psychology class. I ordered a pumpkin cream cold brew after a friend recommended it. When I got my drink, it looked very professional with the different layers of coffee and pumpkin cream. I stirred the two layers satisfyingly together and then took the first drink and I fell in love with the drink. The texture and taste were so creamy. The atmosphere was perfect for studying. I would 100% recommend the pumpkin cream cold brew to anyone who enjoys coffee or if you are looking for something different than the Pumpkin Spice Latte.

    I am a Canadian who was recently lost and looking for a company in Olympia Washington. My Canadian cell phone was unable to help and the Nav system in my car wasn't either, so I went into a Starbucks to get myself a much needed triple latte and ask if anyone could tell me where this shop was. The store manager, Lacey **, heard me asking a clerk if he knew where it was, and the next thing we knew she was looking it up on her phone and offered to write out directions on how we could get there. It was such a relief just to have the address and know that we would be able to find the object of our journey (the store was in Lacey, as it turned out)! Couldn't be more grateful for her kindness!

    This was a drink I was really looking forward to trying. It's the new fad so of course I had to try it. I only was able to stomach 1/4 of it and threw the rest away. I felt sick to my stomach. I took tums and they didn't help. I thought I was going to throw up and ended up sitting my whole evening out because I was so sick and felt so horrible. I would not recommend this drink. Not only is it not worth the price, it isn't worth the stomach ache and pain. Never going to drink this again. Very disappointed.

    I have been a consistent customer of Starbucks for well over 10+ years, and have had some minor issues. Some I addressed others I simply let slide, mostly due to my rapport with the management managerial staff AND Baristas but however, my rapport is of little consequence after my recent experience at the hands of Starbucks. Apparently, they felt the need to take it upon themselves following a day's regular purchase of my caramel macchiato with 4 espresso shots no foam at 200 degrees. They then took an additional 150 stars from my rewards 3 consecutive times on the same day.

    Mind you this was during my purchase through my app of $7.68 for my drink, not thru a star redemption and this continued for an entire month and they responded by giving back 300 of the 700 + stars they stole and $10 onto my card which covers the amount of 1 of my espresso drinks and 300 stars equates to two espresso drinks which totals 3 drinks and 700+ stars equates to 5+ drinks. Unfortunately, the espresso machine purchased will be opened and used after the redemption of my remaining stars and monies on my card and bid Starbucks Adieu. They have lost a customer and the several thousands of dollars invested over 10 years without possessing actual stock in their company!!!!

    I was a regular customer, ended up hating Starbucks due to their poor customer service and unkept promises. Let me write down what I have gone through: 1. Collected stickers (18 beverages) to collect 2019 Planner/Organizer. (Completed 4 Sets). 2. I have redeemed 2 of them. By February, their stocks were low, and choices were limited. The barista told me to wait for "restocking" for more choices. 3. By March, there were ZERO stocks and I was not able to collect 2 Planners. Baristas told me two choices: a) Wait until May; or b) Get 1,500 Php = 29.33 USD for each set. I decided to wait knowing that I have collected these stickers for the planner/organizer. I have spent more than 3,000Php per set and it does not compensate me with 1,500Php.

    4. I went to different stores in Davao, even went to Manila to check for available stocks, ended up with none. 5. So, I decided to wait (Which was wrong from the first place). 6. May came. I went to one of the stores to get what I have waited for. 7. The store told me I couldn't get the planner/organizer for I should have surrendered my collected stickers beforehand. Just a note, I was never told/ informed by any of the stores to surrender my stickers. 8. I have explained what happened, the manager informed me that they could not provide me with the organizer since none was ordered for me. (Since I didn't surrender my stickers)

    9. Manager Seth informed me that he would be giving me his own organizer and 6 vouchers. I informed that I do not want to take his organizer, I mean what is the point of getting the organizer now where the coupons inside is useless now (January to June). 10. I requested for the original offer which was to get a card with P1,500 instead. Which was rejected since their offer time is over. 11. I decided to call the Starbucks main office myself and let them know on my situation. 12. Starbucks main office is Manila? Sucks even more. Reply would take few weeks, calls are not answered (tried 15 times a day). They offered me 4 vouchers (are you kidding me?) as a compensation for 32 drinks I had for the organizer. Of course I cannot take this offer.

    During the call, the agent Gem promised me to get back to me after a week, took two weeks with no response. (Only got back when I called back them). THE AGENT GEM STARTED TO HUNG UP AND AVOID MY CALLS. Which is very unacceptable. They promised for a call-back on that day's afternoon (Since Gem was on lunch) which did not arrive for more than a week.

    These are your shortcomings:

    1. I believe you should have allocated enough stocks from the first place to cater every customers knowing your high demand; Which I understood

    2. I have my right to claim my own organizer from you, Starbucks; and This is what was promised right?

    3. From all those different branches, we were not informed on the instructions clearly which has led us to this situation. You should have explained the process to every customers. I just followed what your employees said. I did not disobey any rules. I just have been understanding, waiting and following the instruction which was provided by the baristas. What did I do so wrong to get this bad experience and support from Starbucks? I have recorded calls with Gem where she promised for the reply, call back which were all not addressed. I have multiple call records which were just disconnected or were not answered.

    I would also like to let you know that we have waited a long time for this and still we are experiencing these problems with no proper explanation from Starbucks. This is quite sad knowing that Starbucks is a world-wide high quality coffee shop. You should do something to solve the problem I am going through since I don't think I am the only customer who is experiencing such.

    I reached out to Starbucks customer service centre on 2 to 3 occasion and they will reward me with $10 card or free coffee but not solving the issue on the ground. Issue - when you ask for Tall and pay for Tall but you end up receiving one half or less. This isn’t about one location. This at multiple locations within Charlotte, NC and Richardson, TX. Learning - it’s top down message to reduce the quantity without letting customer know. Else why is it same across multiple locations. Option: 1) every time you buy request server to fill the cup up; but doesn’t work every time. Or 2) shift to other coffee brands. Question - is there anyone also feeling the same with reference to quantity or not? Personally - Seems I am done with Starbucks as I don’t believe money is the solution. It’s more about experience, quality and quantity (promised).

I asked if an over the counter sandwich can be heated and she rudely responded "No" with stern blunt voice, no apology whatsoever. I also asked another person working at the bar for water, he said "one minute plz" and then ignored me and started walking around the kitchen for 3 minutes or more. Finally, I went back to the order area to order water, the new barista was polite and addressed the request. Overall, very rude staff, worst staff ever seen at Starbucks. No outlets either. This experience has made me never go to a Starbucks again, ever! Specially after the horrific thing they were in the news for.

    This Tuesday I had the most horrible experience with renting a car at the Orlando airport through Orbitz and Alamo. When I stopped at the Starbucks to get something to drink and rethink what I was going to do in my situation I was on the phone with the Orbitz manager who was completely useless and the cashier at the Starbucks in the airport overheard the conversation and decided to be helpful, thoughtful and she saved my faith in humanity!! I was on the phone arguing with the manager at Orbitz and ordered my drink, I went to put my credit card in the machine and she said, "You’re all good." I was already upset with everybody else I had ran into so I almost bit her head off thinking she was incompetent for not charging my card.

    But no. She was not incompetent at all. She was the only thing that got me through that horrible day! I told her, "You didn’t charge my card," and she said, "I know. It’s on me today, I hope it helps your day get better!!" She did make me cry but it was a good cry so I didn’t catch her name but I wanted her to know she was amazing thoughtful!!!

I wonder if this is done on purpose, because the person before me, (**) didn't have the drink handed to them like that, out of the drive thru. I'm a person of color, and this is about the third time this has happened. I've either had to have them make me another drink, or I just threw out the lid. Also, a receipt wasn't given to me.

    Once thought Starbucks was a smart company but not anymore. Customers are not so stupid that they don't notice the changes. Reducing the rewards program, making store environment bad enough to discourage staying (less seating and loud noise level), cuts to service, products, stores, bummed out employees, low inventory on shelves, crappy sugar drinks and food, and more. I've cut my visits by at least 50% and so have others I know. Keep it up and in time a competitor will step in and/or customers will discover other options. Sorry to see the old ways go but maybe this company has seen its day. Sold your stock. Don't believe you care about customers. Short term a "go cheap" strategy may look good but long term lost customers will drop sales. Buh bye Starbucks. You're becoming just another ordinary place that is taking more than it returns in service and product.

Last week, I went to Starbucks and had them put an iced coffee in there. This week, I made my own and I was drinking it and noticed that the cap didn't stay closed. I drank and the next thing I knew, I almost choked on a piece of plastic which fell into the tumbler. It scared the life out of me -- choking hazard -- who knew. I called Starbucks and they said the only way to return it was with a receipt (which I didn't keep since I used my Starbucks card).

    No way was the man I was talking to hearing what I was saying. I asked for a supervisor and I got one that was so condescending, it sickened me. I told him I was going to post on the internet and his attitude was certainly cavalier.

    Not one good review on this page. Doesn't surprise me. I called customer service before deciding to leave one myself. They didn't help. So here I am, leaving a review. NY customer service at Starbucks I guess is no different from the ones on this page from, Denver, NC, California, PA., GA, Canada, NJ, OH, KS, VA, TN, UT, SC, WA etc.! I'm sure the rest of the 50 States are here somewhere if I kept reading. Seems like Starbucks is not only on a roll for the worst customer service nationwide but for the decision to making customers wait even longer for a bagel or muffin that you don't even want toasted, or buttered, or for that matter baked! Which seems like what they might be doing for the length of time you are actually waiting for it.

    Customers are on their way to work. We all have to get to work. So for your establishment to make customers wait 10, 15, 20 'minutes' for a breakfast is just not worth it. Might as well just make breakfast at home. But that's why we go to establishments that make breakfast, so we don't have to cook or wait that long for something like a cup of 'coffee and a muffin'. Been a long time customer but not anymore. Seeing others feel the same way makes me not feel alone but definitely not cool for Starbucks. I think we would all rather get to where we are going with a smile on our face and not pissed off because of unpleasant quality of service.

    The drink was completely incorrect. The drink was an entirely different product than what was ordered. It also lacked sugar when the mobile order specified in several places to add sugar. The drink also lacked fruit, even though the order called for it. Also, the drink was filled with ice when it was specified to not have ice. The only thing correct about the drink was the size, which not even this location could mess up. Overall, I would not recommend this store or return.

    VERY VERY BAD. I ordered Mocha from South Kensington branch today and gave very bad stomach pain. This has happened to me few times during the past few years at different Starbucks locations in London. The prices are getting more expensive which is ridiculous. Another bad thing happened at Starbucks Slough branch, I had to wait too long in a very slow moving queue of people and my order was not made as requested at the end. Employees are idiots. As usual, Starbucks Customer Service is absolute RUBBISH. Starbucks MUST BE SHUT DOWN and definitely not worth the amount of money it currently has.

    My first time visiting this particular store and my last Starbucks purchase. I went to the drive thru and my debit card was pulled out of my hand along with grabbing a couple fingers. I don't know if he heard me, but I said please don't pull my card like that. Too late. While returning my card, he put it between his two fingers, like he was a card dealer in Vegas. He flipped it out the window and on to the ground. I picked my brand new card up, out of filth. If he did that in a store 5 miles east of there, he'd be fired on the spot. Multi millionaires don't put up with that. Come on people, get your caffeine fix at a convenience store down the street. I am.

    Let me first say this, never in my life have I ever been so humiliated, embarked, or angry. I was in the drive thru at the Fulton and El Camino Starbucks, myself and my 3 children, (my 5 year old having autism) and one of their friends in my vehicle, stopped to get my mom some coffee on our way to visit her at the hospital when my 5 year old became very agitated being that the line was long and not moving very fast. He can only be in his car seat and in the car for short periods of time before he goes into a complete panic mode, he becomes very scared and next aggressive, with that being said the arose a problem in the back seat between two of my boys which went on for seemed like forever.

    Well I too have PTSD, and loud noises really freak me out...so I then got out of my car, walked to the back of the car, opened the door where my 12 year old was sitting and I yelled (not proud of it, but it happened), "What's wrong with you, you are 12. He is 5 and special, come on!!!" I then got back in the driver seat and we sat for another 5 min or so when I then see a Starbucks employee lean out the drive thru window on the phone and look right at me, only about 30 sec later a different employee does the same thing and they are both talking to the lady in the car in front of me, so I ask what is the hold up? Nothing... I then say, "Can you please pull forward so I can leave?" My son is then flipping out. Kicked me in the mouth, screaming like no other!!

    But they refuse to move, my 13 year then approaches the car and asked them, "Please can you pull forward so we can exit, we don't want the coffee. We just want to go, then again the employees are telling my son they are finishing the lady's coffee, 10 more min goes by I'm literally in tears, my son is flipping out, the lady in front of me is laughing in her mirror while looking at me and talking to the employees, so I honk my horn. They all look and laugh, not only 5 min later here comes two Sac County sheriff. I could not freakin' believe this, I'm now in tears and it's about to get better!!! They have me leave the drive thru, they tell me to get out of my car, sit me on the curb away from my kids only to have two other officers interrogate. MY kids??!!!

    I'm beside myself, so then they leave after realizing the phone call made by this lady and these Starbucks employees was, not accurate by any means, I'm waiting in the parking lot and I'm thinking hey I should really get their names but at this point my face is bright red, I'm sniffling from crying and didn't want to face anyone so my older boys say they would go in and get the names, when they did they were denied that information by several employees.

    Now I'm really pissed, so if there is anyone out there reading this post please do not give this company that teaches their employees to treat any one human being in this manner any more money!! They have no respect for people, for disabled children or single mothers with disabled children. I will never in my life ever give this company anything ever again!!

    I thought a global brand as Starbucks setting extremely high beverages prices would be at least concern about their reputation, quality and hygiene! Yesterday morning I decided to get the cold lemon mint drink from Starbucks branch in City Stars Mall in Cairo, Egypt. As I was drinking, my stomach started to get upset. I checked to find out living worms in my drink!!!

    I felt disgusted, betrayed and took a picture. I guess a local coffee place would be more caring about the product they bring on the table for their customers. And when I confronted them, their response was merely “sorry, we promise that won't happen again”. Won't happen again? Who are they kidding, when you find out you have paid to drink a contaminated drink with bugs!!! That was my last ever drink in Starbucks!

She asked for her drink to be made with coconut milk since she is highly lactose intolerance. After finishing her drink she starts complaining from a terrible stomach ache, she threw up almost 17 times and went to the bathroom numerous times within 45 minutes. That drink was the only and 1st thing she had consumed that day. After the intensive episodes of throwing up she turned pale, her lips were blue and she was freezing cold shaking screaming from her abdominal pain. She said that it feels like a food poisoning episode or maybe they have put milk in her drink instead of the coconut milk. The music was so loud in the hotel that there's no way probably the and please will hear the order correctly. For something was wrong with the drink that she had food poisoning.

    My husband and I took her to an urgent care to perform an IV right away since we didn't know where to go in Las Vegas. At the urgent care, the doctor asked the nurses to perform an IV on her right away. The nurses tried taking her temperature and told the dr. that the thermometer won't register her temperature because she was freezing cold. The dr asked them to call an ambulance right away. She got transferred to the children hospital in Las Vegas. Her blood sugar started dropping in the ambulance and paramedics had her suck on sugar gel from a tube to help her feel better. The doctors performed all tests needed and found nothing. No infections and no other issues. We got dismissed from the hospital at night at 9:00 p.m. after a long day of trying to ease her pain, re-hydrate her and fix her sugar level.

    Starbucks said that this particular store is owned by Caesar entertainment. We filed a claim due to the pain and trouble our 15 year old had to go through during her Dance Nationals Competition which she worked for all year long. And we filed a claim due to high bills that we feel that it is not far for us to pay. Caesar entertainment declined our claim. Starbucks is saying that that store is managed by Caesar entertainment.

    My daughter and I went to our local Starbucks #9626, at 3202 Governor Drive, San Diego, CA, at 12:20 noon today. There was no one in line. Several people were sitting at the tables. The employee at the cash register was a woman who repeated over and over that she is in her fifties (years old). She was extremely loud and rude to us in front of all the many other customers. I asked her for two cold matcha lattes, no ice. She said our drinks would be this far from the top of the cup and she held her fingers up to show about a couple inches. I asked her why. She said in a very loud annoyed tone, “because the ice makes up part of the drink and if you have no ice, then that’s how much less drink you get.” Then she said, in a very annoyed loud tone again, “otherwise you have to get more milk and I have to charge you more for that.”

    Then she started repeating these remarks loudly over and over again. I said, “Please don’t be mad.” She said loudly, “I’m not mad! I’m just explaining to you!” Then she continued to repeat herself loudly again. I again asked her to not be mad. This continued. I looked at a man/customer that had come in behind me and he and I were looking at each other like she was out of control of herself. At 12:23 noon, I paid for our lattes and a flatbread. I asked the cashier why my bill was $16.05 for just two drinks. She angrily pointed at my daughter and said, “Because she put this in there!” And she put my daughter’s flatbread in the microwave and slammed it. I said, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know she put that on the counter.” The cashier was yelling at me so much, I didn’t see, and my daughter didn’t say anything because she was afraid of the cashier yelling at us.

    I very rarely drink coffee so I'm very particular. I only order two things from Starbucks, hot chocolate when it's cold or a double chocolate chip frappuccino. I have been ordering this same thing for years but the last 3 times my frappuccino has been wrong and each time they have told me something different. First time I politely went inside and told them that I didn't like my drink...guy apologized said he accidentally made a Java chip frappuccino and made me the right drink (my drink is actually a lighter color than the wrong one). Second time, same store, again I don't like my drink I'm polite but this time I'm told they accidentally used roasted coffee making the drink stronger... He remakes it again it's a lighter color and everything is fine.

    Just a few days ago different store, again my drink is wrong... I'm less polite this time and ask how he made it, he says there is no coffee in this drink and Starbucks may have changed the mocha recipe. He never offers to remake it or give me a refund even after I throw the expensive drink in the trash. This is quite upsetting to me bc I have given them several chances, I will not be wasting my money there anymore and I have told others about my experience.

Out of 7 tall no foam lattes ordered in the drive-thru, received 4 with foam & had to send 3 back. Got home & saw 4th one had foam and the coffee was 1" from the top of the cup. Have repeatedly sent email complaints to SB about this happening at this store for months prior, and occasionally get a free latte or a couple of dollars credit. Offending SB store: West Bakerview Avenue, Bellingham, WA. The last 4 wrong latte orders were fixed by the same blond, pony-tailed late 20's girl. Irritating - ripped off - cups not full, holds up the rest of customers in the drive-thru while remaking to my right order. Irritating waste of my time - DISRESPECTFUL TO ALL CUSTOMERS.

    I visit various Starbucks stores in my neighborhood of Del Mar, CA virtually every afternoon for an ice tea and a moment of relaxation to read and research. I am a well-known international businessman with an excellent reputation. Yesterday, while siting on the patio of the Del Mar Heights store (3485 Del Mar Heights Rd Ste A3, San Diego, CA 92130-2125) I was verbally accosted by both the store manager (**) and a man that I understood was an employee of Starbucks. The manager was in the midst of filing a report with a security guard at the shopping center when I walked up and asked if they were aware of an incident that I just experienced outside. The manager then said that I was “a ** old ** man, a ** and that I go there every afternoon hoping to get “lucky.”

    I responded with," Wow, you have multiple incidents occurring at the same time," not realizing she was talking about me. I walked outside with the security guard and was informed that she was talking about me, having received a complaint from a woman (#1) in her late-20’s, that I was harassing her girlfriend (#2) whom was sitting across from us on the adjacent sofa.

    The woman #1 indicated she was a “psychologist” (actually still a student) and that my friend and I should watch it because she “had the powers” (yes, pluralized). Not realizing what she was referring to, my friend and I proceeded to have a pleasant conversation with her girlfriend #2, discussing how she was about to take a vacation to Costa Rica and Peru with her fiancé after college graduation. We talked about the weather this time of year in the rainforest areas, and other small talk. Her girlfriend #2 was enjoying the conversation laughing and smiling throughout.

    Then, suddenly, a man in his late 20’s, came out of Starbucks, sat across from us and told us to leave. I asked him “what was the problem” and he said, “we were harassing his fiancé”. Clearly, this wasn’t the case, but woman #1 (self-proclaimed psychologist) made him and the store manager believe that was the truth, adding that we were **, etc. I then understood what the #1 woman meant when she said she had “the powers”! Apparently, she meant the deviant powers to contrive a sexual allegation and report it to get her way with people (aka men). Hmmm, #metoo or #megotcha!

    The man became belligerent as he approached me while I was sitting on the sofa. He got within my personal space and began physically threatening me to leave or else! I held my cool, never stood up as I didn’t want to be construed as threatening, despite my being twice his size. He was rabid in his hostile and threatening verbal and physically abuse threats, calling me a “fat old man”, etc. I asked him if he was prepared to spend a night in jail, as that would be where he was going if he furthered his attack. Perhaps, that sunk in.

    Finally, he left with his fiancé and while the woman #1 was nowhere in sight. I was thinking of reporting the incident to the shopping center security but felt it wouldn’t lead to anything since they have no police authority. But, after going inside the store to go to the bathroom before leaving, I was verbally assaulted by the store manager with this outrageous and slanderous statement and accusations about me personally.

    I never thought patronizing a Starbucks for an afternoon tea, with a friend from out of town, could be so harmful to one’s reputation, peace of mind and emotional spirit. The employee(s) demonstrated a total lack of professionalism, respect, judgment, courtesy and ability to qualify or discern the reality of the situation. Middle aged gentlemen, making small talk with adult women that are sitting 5 feet in front of them, on a facing sofa, for more than a half hour, is not assault, **, stalking, harassment, or anything worthy of the treatment I received while being a peaceful and polite customer of that Starbucks store.

    But wait, there’s more. Amazingly, just a week prior, I was sitting on the same sofa having a tea while catching up on the news on my smartphone. A young boy (about 10 years old) came up to me and asked me to move. I said no. He repeated himself. I asked him why and he said because he and his friends wanted to sit there. I said they were welcome to pull up some chairs and use the other sofa across from me. I then asked him what was the problem. He said they make a lot of noise.

    The boys sat and played a video game. I noticed they were very polite to each other, one even telling his friend to finish his lunch before it got cold. About 30 minutes later they were getting up to leave and I told the original boy that his demand for me to leave was very rude. I suggested the polite statement would have been, “excuse me sir, would you mind if my friends and I sat here?”, adding that they: “tend to make a lot of noise.” It appears the Del Mar Heights Shopping Center has issues with spoiled, impolite behavior. But, wait, everyone already knows that! So, Starbucks, how is that “Sensitivity Training” working out for you? Guess, what? It is endemic within their righteous, liberal, snowflake culture and will never be fixed! P.S. The security guy was very polite, respectful and said he was sorry I had to go through the experience.

I paid lady with app and then she disappeared, I waited extra long and then a man came and handed me my drink after someone else was behind me on the drive through. When I picked up my drink for first time while driving the lid popped off and the coffee spilled on my hand burning it, my lap, my envelope I was mailing with a check, my car and car seat. I am lucky I did not get into an accident. I called store and spoke with manager to tell her what happened. I am very offended by her response, she said sorry and explained how it could not possibly be their fault because they triple check the lid. OBVIOUSLY they did not and I should not have had to argue with her.

    HORRIBLE customer service, HORRIBLE. Your store burnt me, ruined some of my car and envelope and truly shook me up and that was the response from your manager??? She said I could come back and get a refund... Seriously???? After that experience I am going to drive back and waste my time??? I want to make an incident report and she should have offered that. If she was professional I would not have insisted. Obviously I had to wait a long time and a different barista came over and grabbed coffee that lid was not on correctly. Shame on your store. I want an incident report emailed to me ASAP. I have been a long time customer and after that incident I will support small coffee shops.

I asked to have each ring up separately. I was told that there is a limit of 2 transactions at the drive thru??? Funny, a week earlier I ordered 4 separate orders at the same drive thru without any trouble? The car in front of me had 4 separate transactions as I watched the customer have her phone scanned 4 separate times?

    When I questioned the girl at the window she tried to talk around it. I asked for the general manager but unfortunately, Yolanda was on vacation. I was given a girl who said she was the lead. I asked her why I was limited to 2 transactions and she said this is a new policy that went into effect the first of the year? I told her that was not true and she looked "busted" saying she would "do me this one time favor"???? I was also charged for Venti instead of my ordered Grande drinks??? I called corporate to inquire on this "new policy" in which they confirmed there is NO SUCH POLICY!!! Employees at Starbucks need to stop biting the hand that feeds them due to their personal laziness!!! With all the recent bad press and rise in prices Starbucks could go down in flames easily!!!

    I also visited the Starbucks on Lemon Ave. in Walnut, Ca going thru the drive thru. I wanted to reload my gold Starbucks card with my debit card. Also took my gold card and debit card to reload. Then he asked to see my picture ID? This is a first in all the years I have had a gold card with Starbucks? I told him no one ever asks for my ID as my name matches on both my debit and Starbucks card? He replied," well they all are doing it wrong, I am going by policy"??? Then he asked me to sign a receipt for the load to my card? When I asked for a copy of what I signed he said he could not give me a copy??? I asked for a manager, in which Gus, (a lead) came to the window. I demanded the signed receipt back and called Starbucks corporate about such a shady incident.

Also, she couldn't tell me where the $55 transfer went to. Therefore, I escalated it to Shalene, supervisor, as I needed someone to resolve this charge in a more timely manner. She reiterated that since it was an online charge, it will take 7-10 business days to resolve it with my bank.

    I said, "That doesn't make sense... If I returned a coffee mug at Starbucks, the reversal would happen immediately." She continued to say the same thing... Which (as you can imagine) saying "7-10 business days" in an online world no longer makes sense. Also, the fraudulent charge was able to go through immediately... But the reversal for it was not.

    I am suffering from a health condition where I cannot have cheese in my sandwich. As Starbucks has no "no cheese sandwich" option I usually ask the serving barista to remove the cheese from the sandwich before heating it up. This Starbucks is located in University Blvd W. (32207) at Jacksonville FL. The Barista did not want to remove the cheese and when I asked her nicely to do so she started mocking me like a 6 year old kid (except in a psychotic way). Then to top it all she literally "destroyed" my chicken sandwich just because I asked her (nicely) to take the cheese off.

    I wonder how much these baristas are getting paid as they are unwilling to take off cheese of sandwiches? I returned home and called up Starbucks call center. After a 45 minute conversation (with a guy who was literally high on something) I was awarded a $25 coupon and was assured the Barista will be "taken care of". I went back to the same Starbucks today (3/11/18) after 90 days and guess what! The mentally deranged Barista is still working there making coffee, I guess Starbucks 'took care' of my complaint with the $25 coupon only. That's corporate policy for ya!

I usually go to the same one every time so they know my order, but when I go to a more convenient one for a quick drink they always mess up my order. That is not really a big deal but when they start getting angry with me I get upset. I can understand where they are coming from. But I always want to try something new but I am not sure if I will like it. And it would be a waste of money to buy something and not like it. I wish there was a way that you could sample a drink for free or little charge.

    But overall I love Starbucks. The baristas are nice. The place is clean. They have outstanding drinks and foods. So I think that if you have not gone to Starbucks before you should definitely try it!

    Double Charged - No Refund - No Accountability. Last Friday, January 12th, 2018, around 630 AM (PST) I bought my wife a Starbucks E-Giftcard. The amount was for $15.00. I have done this a few times prior and every purchase was without fault. Had my wife not called me and told me thanks for the gift card(s) I would have been none the wiser. I checked my emails and sure enough she was right. For some reason it duplicated my order. That means it charged me twice. I checked my bank account and it confirmed a double charge. I get it, mistakes happen. Obviously a system error. I called the phone # on the email and went through their horrible automated system that takes like 5 minutes to navigate. After locating the right department I was on hold for about 5 minutes just to hear the representative say I reached the wrong department.

    In her defense, she did attempt to transfer me over to the correct department but the department was either too busy or unable to take my call at that time and she advised me to call them back. At that time I was getting annoyed. I advised her I will not call back since this was their error and that I would like to speak to a supervisor. I was then placed on hold for about 15 minutes then spoke with a supervisor who then told me again that they couldn't help me and that she will attempt to transfer me to the correct party. Her 'attempt' was a failed one as all she did was blind transfer me to their automated queue only to go through another automated process of verifying who I am then I was on hold for about 40 minutes.

    Finally spoke with a guy who advised they technically were not a part of Starbucks but a 3rd party that Starbucks uses to handle their egift purchases. He verified that both of the purchases and cancelled one and that I will be getting a refund immediately and should receive an email within 5 to 10 minutes. 3 DAYS LATER... Still no word from anyone. No confirmation. No email. No refund. I've sent numerous emails only to have some automated response that they are sorry and will attempt to call me (last Friday). No phone calls either. This is by far the worst experience I've ever had with Starbucks. They took my money, although it's a small amount it's still mine and I did NOT authorize a charge. Obviously it's a duplicate because the ecard and message are the exact same and ordered at the exact time 635am. I didn't order 2. Just the 1. So now I have to chase them down over $15 bucks. This is a waste of my time.

    Am I going to order from Starbucks in the future? Probably because my wife loves them. She said to let it go and she will just keep the duplicate. She can't now because the guy said it's been cancelled. But maybe it isn't. Maybe it is. I have nothing to go off of except their word which doesn't mean anything at this point. Just another big corporation that doesn't care about the consumers. They got so big they forgot how to make good coffee which is why I never drink theirs. I prefer Peet's Coffee or Coffee Bean anyways. So Starbucks if you're reading this, just know you lost your vision. Maybe you need to reread your mission statement again.

    I used to visit Starbucks regularly on my way to work and purchase coffee and sometimes the oatmeal raisin cookie via the drive-through, but I noticed a difference in coffee taste, and discovered that Starbucks was no longer providing 18% cream with the coffee. This made a huge difference for me. I contacted their head office, but did not receive an adequate reply, so now I buy my coffee elsewhere through another chain which has an outlet across the road.

    I am a long time Starbucks customer and have really enjoyed the tea options this year. I like the many different sandwiches and snacks as well as the ones for breakfast. I like the frappuccinos but mainly the caramel one. I wish they had more flavors without chocolate or mocha as that does not agree with my digestion. I have been to many cafes and have not found them all as friendly as the ones in my hometown or as clean. I also find it disappointing that the Barnes and Noble Starbucks does not take the card so you miss out on points.

    I like coffee with just a bit of cream. Not all this flavorings with high fructose corn syrup. When you receive an iced drink you receive a full cup of ice with little drink in it. Coffee is too expensive. Rather go to a cafe and always receive free refills. Won't happen there.

    Starbucks is not taking responsibility for stopping franchisees from blocking access to updates for operating system security from Microsoft and others. This makes the store a haven for thieves and hackers that victimize customers. A boo and hiss is in order, go to McDonald's instead.

    Dear Starbucks Team, received poor service in the O'Hare Oasis on Thursday, Nov 30, 2017. Not only was I sold a bag of goods; the attendant told me that with over $20 I would receive $5 back, so I dutifully ordered another $4,50 item to reach the amount, to which she said, "Sorry the cash register didn't work. I can't make good on the offer!" What??!! Seriously??! Are we in the US? Then I could get a receipt (for my expenses) because the same attendant threw out the receipt without asking and wasn't willing to get it or print another one? Seriously??!!! To make things worse my venti caramel macchiato which I needed after 20 hours of flight time, didn't get made. Sorry?!!! "That 's what y'all call "service"?!! I'm never upset and rarely served poorly in your stores but this one is an exception that drove me to write you. Hope you fix your problems. I'm done with y'all.

    Absolutely adore Starbucks coffee, whether bagged, brewed or K-cups. I sometimes have to wait five minutes for a 'pour over' since I often order decaf or 1/2 caf. That I don't understand, especially since it's late afternoon or early evening, when decaf would be needed. However, the coffee is wonderful, service done with a smile and the store atmosphere is welcoming.

    I have two distinctly bad reviews about products I wanted to share. The first is the Mocha coffee K-cup I found in a discount bin at my grocery store. It was SO awful, I took two sips, threw out the rest of the cup and returned the rest to the store. It had a metallic, artificial taste that was unlike anything I've ever tasted and was undrinkable.

    The second is the new Christmas mug called the "wink mug." It is adorably cute and the texture is smooth and almost soft to the touch. Yellow handle and one winking eye, plus it's microwavable, which my gray/gold "Scales" anniversary mug from Starbucks is not. What could possibly be wrong with it? Well, for one, you can't hold it with one hand. It is very wide and requires two hands. The second is the lip of the mug hit my teeth each time I took a sip, and I don't have especially long teeth. Jarring! It's going back as well. Seriously, those are the only two products of Starbucks I've ever hated. I don't like the blonde roast, but that's just because of the lemon flavor in the roast.

    I received my bank statement and noticed two back to back unauthorized charges for 50 dollars each. I have called Starbucks over ten times to get this resolved. Three times they hung up on me. The rest were a mix of random options, none of which has seen my money returned. I don't drink coffee nor have I ever had a Starbucks card. They have said that my bank has to do a recharge for the amount, when asked why they could not do it, they responded by saying they do not have my credit card info. I attempted to provide it they said no. I asked them how did they take my money and not have my info.

    Worse of all I am disabled and on a fixed income, this unauthorized charge is gonna cause my electricity to be shut off for lack of funds which will possibly have me lose my housing support because one of the rules to get help is to not have electricity shut off.

    Starbucks is getting more and more pricey for a bad cup of whatever you drink. Everyone is sucked into this need to spend half your paycheck for a bad cup of Joe. Just because it's trendy. The quality of service and product has drop over the years but the price keeps going up, up, up. I am coming from a place where I see my wife spend hundreds a month on her favorite a Chai tea. The thing that gets me is they never ever get it right when she orders. Ever. 99 percent of the time they forget to put the whip cream on even when she says "Don't forget the whip cream." Or it will come warm not hot. Think about it. A drink that cost $4.80 you think you could at least make it right. Just so done with paying their prices for a sub par at best drink.

    Bought the Milk Frother at the official Starbucks website. Had been a client for years. Paid twice as much as similar product on stores because I thought that a company like Starbucks would check the quality and consequently back up their providers, all to find out that the product is of a very poor quality. Used it for not more than 20 times, paid $59.95 + Tax for a product that didn't last at all. When calling Starbucks customer service, they need all sort of information, to corroborate that it is actually one of their products.

    There is a metal sticker at the bottom of the appliance, with a model number, and STARBUCKS in big black letters. Also there is an imprint of the brand in the carafe, that seems not to be enough, they need a receipt. Unbelievable. They sell you some cheap appliance that you can get for a third of the price at any grocery store and won't take responsibility when it brakes. After a while, the CS representative, became repetitive, completely useless, and I said I was disappointed and won't be a customer anymore of a company that do not stand by their customers, she hung up on me. Great!! I kind of regret being so nice and civil because I felt utterly insulted by the company, their lack of commitment and rude response from their employee. Terrible company.

    Starbucks sends out an email indicating, "You are upgraded to a gold card." Woohoo. They say they offer you a free drink or food item of your choice, yet at the counter they deny it. Really. These programs are only gimmicks to get you in the store and spend more money. Every stupid retailer or restaurant engages in this tactic. A pizza place offers you a free personal pizza but the clerks push drinks and other crap on you. You spend more than the free personal pan pizza. Stay away from these gimmicks. I'm tossing the card out. And, a big reason why we have the health problems related to diabetes and obesity in this country is due to these designer coffee drinks. Do you really need a coffee with lots of high calories and sugar, milk, whipped cream and other garbage? One drink has around 64 carbs. You are better off eating a slice of pie. Save money and skip the designer coffee drinks. Skip the so-called rewards.

    I've always loved Starbucks because they were nice and clean. I assumed buying items would come with reasonable return policy because the quality seemed high and the prices too. My wife bought me a coffee grinder for Christmas in 2016. The blade came off this morning and I thought it would be easy to return, I carried it all the way downtown and asked them if they had any warranty with things they sell, they were rude, accused me of stretching the dates and implied I was unreasonable to expect a grinder to work more than a few years even though the truth is I hardly ever used it. They said they would give me the customer service phone no. and I waited 20 minutes for that. Then I waited for 20 minutes minimum for a person, my ear was sore from the cell phone, I switched ears and talked to the rep who said "ALL items are only returnable for 30 days" with receipt.

    WOW I couldn't believe it! What about 200 dollar espresso machines? And other items? But he said no. I said "I would NEVER buy anything from a store with that policy and I would spread this information around as much as possible because it is really surprising to know." I laughed and said "You won't even offer a free cup of coffee or anything will you?" He hung up. I'm really disappointed, I don't know where I'll go for my coffee now, maybe a new company will come along so I can go there.

    When you get a good Barista you get a good drink but those are hard to come by at Starbucks. Now if you ask them to remake your drink some of them are okay with it but others have a lot of machismo or just way too much attitude. The consistency of the drink tasting as it should from different locations is rare here in El Paso. If I would recommend anything I would recommend Mesa Street in the Westside. There's a girl there by the name of Vanessa. She's actually a great barista.

    As for the location near Bassett on Geronimo that is the worst location to go to. The customer service there is horrible. The consistency of the drink tasting the same or as it should is also horrible but them speaking to the customers with such low class is just beyond my imagination for a expensive cup of coffee. When I asked the girl to remake my drink she told me to get out of my car and go watch the Barista make it to see if she's making it right. What am I the damn CEO. Starbucks is a disappointment.
