Dammit starbucks...

[silverpig]

If I pay $4.65 for a bunch of blended ice, milk, and powder, do you think you could actually blend it up well enough so that ice chunks don't clog my straw with 1/4 of the drink remaining? Thanks.

maybe dunkin donuts could make it right

sounds like the training didn't work

i think customer satisfaction is one aspect starbucks is slacking on.

I guess that Barista skipped training today.

If you want a milkshake just go get a milkshake.

Does this said milkshake bring all the boys to the yard in a timely fashion?

Oh the horrors and trials we must face each day.

I was humiliated by Starbucks last week when I wanted a tall coffee with a little steamed milk. Lady was like..WTF is that? OH, you mean a TALL MISTO!

No, the blender thingy is on a timer I think. Some guy once ordered a double blended frap in front of me in line. I thought it was a good idea, but forgot, and here I sit with ice at the bottom of my plastic cup.

I always just have them double blend my drinks.

I'm not accusing anyone of being a cube drone but, I can't believe the number of people who get so little recognition that they're willing to pay $5 for a cup of coffee like substance with the side benefit of bitching at a "barista."

So now if you complain about poor product you must receive no recognition in life? Great logic. Please teach me.

Who gets so little recognition?

I felt like having a cold coffee drink so I bought one. I didn't bitch at any barista, in fact I was quite polite. I didn't have any problems until I came home and had ice chunks clog my straw. I still finished the drink and was only mildly annoyed. I was just kind of bored and thought I'd post for whatever reason.

Apparently though I have issues and have to go by a $5 drink for recognition and then bitch at the person who made it.

I doubt the little recognition I get in life has anything to do with my enjoyment of a Triple Shot Caramel Machiato for 4.63.

Sorry if I ruffled your feathers, I was talking in general. What amazes/confounds me is that Starbucks has survived and even flourished for as long as it has.
