I have been a loyal customer at this Starbucks location for a long time and have always had positive experiences, so I was completely shocked by the service I received during my most recent visit. I am not usually one to write reviews, but this situation left me frustrated and disappointed.
I placed my order for a Venti Caramel Frappuccino through the drive-thru, and from the very start, I noticed that the barista taking my order had a rude and impatient tone. Despite this, I proceeded with my order as usual. When I arrived at the window, I paid and waited for my drink. However, when the barista handed it to me, I immediately noticed that the lid was not securely on the cup. Before I could even react, the drink started spilling over the sides, my hands, my shirt, and even parts of my car.
What shocked me the most was the barista’s complete lack of concern. Instead of apologizing or offering assistance, she blamed me, claiming that I was squeezing the cup too hard and that’s why the lid came off. Even after seeing the mess it created, she continued to hand me the drink in a careless manner, almost as if she was intentionally making it spill even more. At this point, I had to ask for napkins myself because none were offered to help clean up the mess.
The entire interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional. What should have been a simple and pleasant experience turned into an incredibly frustrating one. I left feeling shocked by the lack of basic customer service and courtesy. I asked for her name I believe it's Shona.
I truly hope that management takes this feedback seriously and ensures that their staff provides better service in the future. As someone who has always enjoyed coming to this location, this was a very disappointing experience and will going to a different location moving forward.
