text: In case some of you did not already know I spend alot of time at Coffe shops namely Starbucks It is like a second home really Yesterday morning in what my wife refers to as one of mynMy fits of hopeless optimismnI figured I would go and check out some of the Starbucks running along on McDowell Boy was not that a mistake Once inside I had to look around to see if there was someone with a camera waiting to gauge my reaction That is how far off the reservation this Starbucks location had gone I totally understand that alot of highschool kids and young adults end up filling parttime grocery store positions In fact I was one of those kids I worked part time at a Safeway where I grew up for over a year But never And I mean never would you have caught me dead running the sort of ragtag dog and pony show such as the one I was a witness to at the Starbucks inside Safeway at th st And McDowell yesterday I like to think that I am a pretty fair reviewer and it takes alot for me to give a scathing review nHowever in this case it was well deserved I was hoping to walk in and find a place to sit down buy a coffee and work on a project I planned on finishing nWhat I walked into shocked me And I do not shock easily people Trust me nFirst things first The barista working the kiosk was standing out front of the kiosk you know where customers stand to order Chatting it up and belligerantly cracking jokes really loud with the baggercarryout boy and completely ignoring me So much so I sat down first having to brush the cracker crumbs and wrappers off my seat choosing not to even buy a coffeenAssuming they would mastered time travel suddenly we were all rocketed back to middle school And the bag boy began teasing and chasing the girl barista If you could call her that around in the small space allotted for Starbucks customers n Listen people I am the furthest thing from a stick in the mud And I will be the first to say kids should be kids But this was ridiculous Yet more then anything else it was down right unprofessional When I pay hard earned cash for a service I expect that service Do your job people Keep the place clean Then you can mess around all you want Basically They crossed the line between high school hijinks into nOk now your just making your company look bad The floors were atrocious Filthy even With trash under the tables As if things could not get any worse it smelled Bad Like expired ham That was definitely a first for me Never had a Starbucks smelled Let alone that bad And last but certainly not least they had no outlets I get you want to turn a profit Well fine charge for it Do not just not provide them Most people want to be able to charge their electronics while they enjoy their coffee Come on Starbucks this is a nobrainern Ok kids I realize you know everything nAnd what could a year old Such as myself possibly have to teach any of you millennials that you do not already know Just kiddingnBut I did work at Safeway for a year and four months when I was a teenager All I am saying is that there is a time and a place for everything At work while a customer is staring at you waiting to be served is not the time nor the placenNothing and no place will ever be perfect I do not expect anything to be I do however expect said place to if they have some glaring flaws make up for it somewhere along the linenBut with this Starbucks location I was sorely disappointed
