Mobile Order #786396
Las Positas & Vasco - Livermore, CA
I placed my order at 8:00am. I arrived at the store at approximately 8:10am, assuming my order would be ready. I waited patiently at the counter nearest the door (where names were being called and food was being handed out). I waited for 5 minutes before asking the woman behind the counter about my order. (I wasn't in any hurry and I could see they were busy). She directed me to the other counter where mobile orders ares given out. Fair enough. I went over to the other counter, gazed at the drinks on the bar and saw none that were mine. As I was waiting patiently another 5 minutes (again, not in a hurry) the woman ahead of me, filling her drink carrier, asked me about my order as she realized she ordered before me at the counter. I simply said "I ordered about 20 minutes ago" with a little shrug. I had planned on waiting for her to get her drinks before asking the barista. He overheard our conversation and rudely asked, "Do you have a mobile order?" I said yes. He literally slammed down the 1/2 full gallon of milk and spun around to the counter behind him. He grabbed my drink and bag of food, and said to me in the most snotty tone, "I don't know when there are mobile orders unless people tell me." I simply replied, "I wasn't complaining," to which he went back to his drink making like he couldn't care less about the woman (me) speaking to him. He must have known my order was sitting there for quite some time. He did not offer to re-heat the food or drink, and I dare not ask as I was already being treated like a nuisance. With the week I have been having, and the public embarrassment (people were watching like I was the jerk!) that this guy caused, I felt like running out of there and crying. As I was hurrying out of there mortified I thought I should do something about this, so I asked the woman at the first counter for his name. Alex. This was my worst Starbucks experience ever, and I most likely will not be going to this location again. A person like this should not be working so closely with the public. What a horrible way to start my day.
