I usually visit when I'm at an airport, so like twice a year. Every time I go, the experience gets worse. Last month I realized I paid like 12 dollars for two flat whites with a really painful to opt out tip system.
On top of that I realized they got rid of the milk and sugar and I now have to beg the barista. That was the last straw.
- damon_c 3y ago> That was the last straw. Oh now you want a straw?
- 6th 3y agoNo, that was the last straw. There's no more. Supply and demand dictates buy buy buy. Straws are going to the moon!!!
- orev 3y agoNot saying Starbucks is the best in the world, but airport and co-located stores (e.g. inside a Target, grocery store, or hotel) are absolutely the worst versions of Starbucks. They’re more like a cut down version that sometimes uses instant coffee, has a limited menu, or are just constrained by the difficulty of operating in an airport. Don’t base your opinion of them based on what you’re getting in an airport. P.S. Most airport versions of a restaurant are typically the worst versions.
- paleotrope 3y agoThe Starbucks I've been too in the last two years (NE Ohio, Massachusetts) have all been like that. Creamer and sweeteners are behind the counter now. Seating is harsh and uncomfortable. The floors are dirty now. The whole experience is hostile.
