Starbucks Service

I ordered 3 drinks at 2:35 pm in the store on 2/1/20 and there was no line but waited for the drinks until 2:55pm . It seemed like the drive thru took priority. I didn't receive the 3 drinks in any time close together. I expressed my concern as I waited for my 3rd drink. I wasn't in a rush but it was very frustrating. A woman also placed a mobile order and was waiting for an extensive amount of time she said .

Every time I go to this Starbucks and ask for soy milk they disregard that and use regular milk. Also, I asked for light ice for my drink and they wrote "add ice" on my order. They also added honey, which I didn't even ask for and still charged me extra for it. I was charged $5.85 for a grande iced caramel macchiato that was terrible and not what I asked for.

We arrived at the Starbucks line on the Southwest concourse at 8:55AM. There were 2 people working behind the counter a Monday morning in a busy commute airport-a cashier and a 'baristista'. It took nearly 30 minutes to get through the line. The Peets Coffee had 4 people working and they kept their line moving. Yes we should have switched. After getting our...

I come every day to Starbucks at W. Broadway and Balaclava in Vancouver, B.C., but their loud music is driving me crazy... Either they turn it down or I will spend my money somewhere else. (I ask the manager to turn the music down, but, instead, he cranked up - thanks a lot!). Is this how you want to treat your frequent customers?

Starbucks customer service hotline

I contacted Starbucks per phone, since Emails only get standard, prewritten answers like "just call us"...
I cannot log into my account anymore.
The employee on the hotline told me, he would transfer that technical issue onto the higher department, - they would come back.

Needless to say, nobody ever did...I have a gift card with a balance in my account, and also still some star rewards to use.

I know many of friends and family have the same issues. It seems Starbucks purposely blocks customers - so they can not EARN and USE their stars - in order to save money. We can always spend a lot of money, but they don't want us to earn stars in order to get free drinks or food items.

The internet is full of complaints.
So if I do not get any help asap, I will address that and submit an official complaint to the BBB.
I feel betrayed as many other customers do.
I need to be able to access my account.

I come to this place often as I live close and enjoy coming to Barnes and Nobel which it is attached to. My most recent visit I had my order taken by Serena, a blond barista. She was rude and curt. Just generally unpleasant and in need of serious retraining regarding her attitude. I am not expecting or wanting anything special, in fact, I would prefer indifference, but her rolling her eyes while I order I could do without.

On February 4, 2020, the manager at Scarsdale Starbucks (East Parkway branch) harassed me, and I would like to bring a complaint against her. She apparently felt suspicious of me, maybe I seemed a bit strange to her, but I had just purchased a coffee from her and was as friendly as I could be, and there was no sign of any animosity from her. 3 minute...

I will no longer go to this Starbucks. Every time I go and give them another chance they mess up my order. Last week they gave me molded blueberries and today I asked them for berries and nuts in the oatmeal and didn't give it to me. Every week I go they forget to give me something or the food is rotten. This is not right considering how much I spend there.

I went into Starbucks today (January 22, 2020) to use my gift card. When I entered the store, the two employees that were working didn't greet me. They were looking at me like I was the plague. Both stared and didn't say anything. They looked as if I had a disease. The next customber came in and both of the spoke and greeted her. I asked for my drink to be...

Hello, I purchased 2 coffee mugs from one of the Watertown, NY Starbucks locations totaling over $60. In less than a month the lids clasps on both broke not closing any more. The store and customer service refuse to replace the lids. I expected more from Starbucks due to their supposed reputation and the price point of the product. The product is garbage. I'm done with Starbucks!

Starbucks pricing

Advertised price at the vendor for Coconutmilk Latte was 4.20. At checkout I was charged additional 0.75 for the coconutmilk. Counter worker told me there was no button for drink, so she had to charge me for a latte and add the coconut milk. No attempt was made to sell the drink for correct price. I was told that the sign is wrong.

January 11, 2020 11:22am I ordered online as I usually do, 3 drinks, 2 matcha Iced lattes with light ice and 1 Mocha Frappuccino. I asked the barista if this was considered light ice, but it was clearly packed with ice. She asked if I wanted them to be redone, I replied "yes." She took the drinks and forcefully threw them in the trash with no eye contact...

Starbucks service on 8 jan 2020, 12:30 pm & electrical outlets

I was in today and ordered a hot sandwich. When the young woman behind the counter gave it to me, there was a plastic fork included, in a sealed plastic wrap. When I noticed this, I simply removed the fork and laid it back on the counter. When the young woman saw this, she took the sealed forkand threw it straight in the trash.

First, I do not think Starbucks should still be using plastic utensils in 2020, but for your employee to simply take a brand new, unopened plastic fork and throw it in the trash...! That's the values your employees have toward the environment.

And you really cannot find a substitute for plastic? I know for a fact that, until maybe the late '60s or early '70s, all such throwaway utensils were made of untreated wood.

Now, for the other point: For months now, several of the electric outlets in this particular store have been useless - and it's getting that way in other stores as well.

Thanks for listening.

Starbucks pumpkin spice

Wow, I'm very disappointed, it's mid December & you are not serving pumpkin spice anymore! I always purchase this all month long of December! What's going on? I love Starbucks, I've been to 3 different locations and they have told me they were not serving it any longer. I asked why & one cashier said I guess they are trying to make it more exclusive! That's not right! Twice I've had to go to another coffee shop to get pumpkin spice. I hope next year is better!
Thank you for hearing me out!
