Starbucks

Located inside of Fred Meyer.
I’m a creature of habit.
I order a «Grande White Chocolate Mocha with 4 Shots and 5 Pumps» almost every time.
No offense STARBUCKS but, ya’ll aint changed much in decades. For me, that’s awesome! I can come in to any STARBUCKS and they will make me what I want /​expect and made the way I imagined.
No frills Coffee. Strong and Sweet.
As per usual. I placed my order. I payed. I waited a short time. My brain races with anticipation. My order is ready. I already know how good my first sip will be.
(always sip your order before leaving the store.)
I get outside. I take «my 1^st Sip», uh. Houston. We have a problem!
A couple sips and stirs later. I now need to go back in the store. I’m pretty sure they gave some version of what they call Hot Chocolate. After a short conversation on white chocolate and the brown concoction they gave me. My order is done over.
A quick sip inside the store tells me, STARBUCKS perfection. No frills coffee. The way I wanted it!

Noticed that the staff has changed abd the quality. maybe New manager. Either way much better service lately.

Consistent with the chain. You can get the same drinks and pastries like all Starbucks. Sadly the lady from the morning always acts like you are just annoyance. This would get another star from me, but if you hire people who hate to deal with the public, then you get lower stars.

This is my favorite Starbucks. Always fast and friendly service.

I come here a few times a week on my way to work, always quick and the orders are always correct. the Starbucks down the street screws up my order all the time so I only come here now.

I don’t mind Starbucks. I know some people like to get on a soapbox about them, but I like the shaken tea. Maybe if I were a coffee drinker, I’d have something to soapbox about. However, when I get the shaken tea it is important to specifically tell them no syrup. It seems a hard concept for them, sometimes.
This location seems to be very busy, but I have noticed a lot of people in ski gear, like they are coming back from Mt. Hood or like today, people with maps of the Mt. Hood are sprawled on the tables and looking at pictures they took on the camera.
I am not sure why this one is so popular like that, since Sandy does have three Starbucks. Even though two of them are in Fred Myers and Safeway, there is one you can go sit in and not feel like you are in the middle of shoppers paradise.

We had to wait 28 mins for our drinks. I love Starbucks but I won’t be coming back to this one.
