Two drinks in one day... love Starbucks drinks! It's been a long work week/ weekend worth travel infestations. During this crazy social distancing time they have been great.
I go to this Starbucks location quite often and think that most of the people who work there are amazing. Avalon makes you feel welcome the moment that you step into the place. He always makes sure that your drink is correct and if he sees someone not making it correctly he steps in and tells them what to do. He always makes my experience there great. He keeps things moving when they are busy. The reason I am giving this location 4 stars is because on a few occasions when some newer folks or people I had never seen before were there it took forever to get my drink. I don't mind a wait when there are tons of people there, but it shouldn't take 10 minutes for someone to take my order when there are only two people ahead of me. I felt bad for the poor girl who was trying to do the register and heat food. The person who finally did take my order seemed like she didn't want to be bothered.
Only had a few bad experiences, but people like Avalon, Dan, Chelsea, and others keep me going back. And I want to say good job to newcomer Sydney, think she spells it differently. She made a great Smoked Butterscotch Frapp.
I stop here at least 4 times a week for my morning coffee. It can get pretty hectic being so close to the convention center, but everyone who works here is always so on top of it and I've never seen them slip up and take their stress out on a customer in anyway. A special mention to Avalon and Dan who have made it a point to talk to me more than your normal CS small talk and actually get to know me. I ordered Citrus Defender teas all week and after about the forth one Dan asked me how I was feeling since I was getting so many of these teas and it just shows they really pay attention.
