This is an unfortunate story about what happened this afternoon.

My wife and I went to a Starbucks at Georgetown, Washington, DC to get an iced coffee. I gave a cashier a $5 bill and a $1 additionally because my wife wanted to have some quarters for a parking meter. I didn't realize at first, but the cashier gave me the change but it was $2 short. She might have got confused because I gave her one more dollar for some more quarters. Anyway, we went back there and asked this middle aged guy working at the counter to give us back the two dollars. This guy wiped out his smile in no second and threw the 2 dollars to me. And then he slam shut the cashier ### about something. We just didn't want to make a scene there, so decided to get out pronto without confronting him.

Just wanted to share our unfortunate event with any of you.

Thanks.

One Jan 15. I waited 45 minutes to get the wrong drink and for the team to tell me what the had in the shelf they actually aren’t serving. The manager said he didn’t have time to give me my money back. I had to leave to make my flight. Horrible service and didn’t get my items

I ordered a vanilla bean frappacino at 2:28pm on January 26th, 2022 to be picked up by me and the Mattituck, NY location. Upon pickup at 2:35pm of the same day, the drink was chunky with what I hope was ice. I allowed to drink to then melt for the next 2 hours, but the chunks did not go away. I then had no choice but to throw it out.

On 1/29/23 at 03:06pm I tried to use my January Tumbler to get a coffee at salt Lake airport Starbucks. This cup allows for free coffee in that cup for the month of January. The store told me they do not honor the cup. I am disappointed to pay for the cup and not enable to use it at your stores.

3rd time same girl. Just absolutely rude. I go to drive thru every morning 5 days a week. All I ask is to get my drink correct. When the barista won’t put it on the screen to see what she typed in. Is an issue. Her unwillingness to be pleasant in the morning and the drink to always be done incorrect.

I ordered a hot sugar cookie latte and they made an iced one by mistake. When I said I would take it because someone else may drink it, they said the policy is they have to throw it down the sink!
How does this make any logical sense?
They would rather waste it (when it was THEIR mistake) than give it to the customer.
