Starbucks

This Starbucks drives me nuts.
First, the staff is completely incompetent. This has been a growing theme amongst Starbucks’, but they do some things that really irritate me.
The staff touch their eyes, lips, face, hair and never wash their hands. Today the girl behind the counter was picking gunk off her eyelash — didn’t wash her hands. They’ve had two staff members with visible lip cold sores (i.e. herpes) serving … just, like, the peeps a day off.
The staff has major attitude as well. I have a really weird drink order. I get it. I announce that it’s weird before I launch into it. But it’s also a $ 6 drink. So, for $ 6, I think I can ask for my drink in an odd way. It’s nothing they can’t do. But today the dude literally rolled his eyes, laughed at me, and went over to discuss it with his co-​worker. WTF. What the acutal eff.
Anyway, it’s the closest Starbucks to my work so when it’s –20, I have little to no choice if I want something from a Sbux. But I hate it nonetheless. Actually now I’m just realizing maybe it only serves people in the Hilton (i.e. tourists) because most other offices have a closer Starbucks, so they don’t care how they treat people because they don’t think they get a lot of repeat business. Hmm.

This is a new Starbucks location, inside the Hilton Hotel.
Location ⁵⁄₅ The establishment is a major draw due to its convenient location for a number of reasons. First, it is inside the hotel, making it easy for those who stay there to get a drink. This seems sort of obvious, but this Starbucks location has very good hours (6am to 10pm) on weekdays and weekends (7am to 9pm). It is not uncommon to see some «famous» hotel goers come here for a drink. For example the Real Madrid players came to get a coffee here when staying during their game in Toronto. Additionally, this location is next to a few offices, and the Shangri-​la hotel as well, making it convenient to go for coffee on a break. Lastly, many of those who access the path from the west side of the city can stop here for a coffee, in fact this is the further north west PATH location which can be reached.
⁵⁄₅ Coffee is quite consistent, and tastes as good as the best starbucks locations. Never burnt. Both drip coffee and the specialty drinks are good.
⁵⁄₅ Service generally good, fast and efficient. The line up can be out the door, but this is due to the sheer volume of patrons.
⁴⁄₅ prices are Starbucks prices.
⁵⁄₅ overall place décor is quire nice, it can be summed up as rustic/​modern. their bathroom are very clean as well.
Good new location for Starbucks!
