Calling someone a yuppie is so 1990s.

+1 People here just pull sh!t out of their @sses. Lately, there have been a lot of posts that make you wonder if a fair number of people recently woke up from a very long coma.

Equating Starbucks with yuppies would've made sense in 1990. Not in 2021, when Giant, Safeway, and Target have Starbucks kiosks.

Young, hip people with income to burn go to an independent pour-over shop.

I don’t believe that Starbucks in general is upping their game.

This might be a real scam. I've seen it in the store twice, I think. The two gals I saw do it were acting sketchy and I could tell the employees were like but made the "missing" drink anyways.

They should be trained to ask to see the order confirmation on the customer’s phone rather than just pretend that the customer disappeared along with the missing order. They clearly didn’t have any clue how to resolve the issue so just ignored it and made it someone else’s problem.

The real question here is how was the pistachio drink? I haven’t tried it yet. I had an earth pop when I got one for the kids and thought it was pretty good—good enough that I ordered another a couple weeks later. Normally don’t care much for their baked goods.

Go away.

How was the pistachio drink?

It's funny to hear people calling Starbucks overpriced. It's my "bargain" coffee shop. The same drink at one of my favorite spots would easily cost twice as much, and so would a pastry. Granted, the quality would also easily be twice as good, so I don't think those places are overpriced either. But Starbucks prices seem about right for mediocre product and decent service.

And it's hard to beat the ability to order on the app and pick up or get curbside. The other day I ordered on the app from directly outside the store just so I didn't have to stand around inside with the people in line. It was great. And yes, the customer service is usually pretty good. I think that as mega corps go, they tend to treat their employees ok (it's still a minimum wage job with no growth potential, but otherwise).

I have to say, I've been picking up A LOT OF STARBUCKS (mobile order, show up when it's ready or after, not before, grab and go) and the baristas just seem so freaking happy compared to the before times. Probably way fewer people barking at them. Sad, but happy for them I guess.

Really? I've never gotten that statement.

I was really wanting a cold brew with pumpkin cream and all I got was, " sorry , we don't carry pumpkin drinks anymore".

Overpriced shit for yuppie idiots.

For that many dollars a drink, yes, they should up their game!

Decided to try the new Pistachio drink at Starbucks and the lady taking my order said, "whatever your heart desires we will make it just for you". Starbucks is upping their game.
