Pumpkin Spice is back! - Page 4

cal4iri · 08-31-2007, 11:17 AM

Do any of you have your local Starbucks that you go to way too much to where they see you walking up and your coffee is already ready for you?
That happened to me yesterday and today! I wanted to get a Pumpkin Spice yesterday so I did but the dude gave me two drinks. My normal Macchiato and the Pumpkin Spice. He said he had already made it!
Then this morning he saw my wife and I so he made the Macchiato again and her Chai but I only wanted to get a Pumpkin Spice and an Orange Juice.
I think it's great customer service but what happens if I flip up my order that day?

Well, they don't have the drink made but they do know my name (at 2 locations)!

Morrie? I cannot thank you enough for letting me know. I was for a week in the land of the Amish...LITERALLY...Lancaster County, PA and there was no time to seek out a Starbuck's.

Alone, I suffered.

But you have helped me through. I have returned to the wonders of Colorado...and five minutes from my local supplier of Starbuck's.

Life is good again.

Peace,
Roo

They usually ask before they make it. They'll say, "Usual?" and i'll reply yes or no. But I tend to vary on the size, depending on my mood and if my mom wants to share the drink.

Pumpkin spice sounds delicious and which means the holidays are upon us again. I love this time of the year.

I had the BEST pumpkin spice scone this morning. It was perfectly tender, with a crunchy frosting and a cinnamon drizzle.. dang.. now I'm hungry!

My goodness, it is barely the 1st of September, and THE HOLIDAYS ARE UPON US? Well, you're right - I believe California's Admission Day is on the 9th or 10th...that's a holiday.

Sorry to have raised my voice.

By the way....is it wrong if I have the locations of nearly every Starbucks memorized, close to the freeway corridors between Carpinteria and Anaheim?

Its ok radioberry and yes I agree with you about cooperates and holidays way too early.

She was covering someone's break. Whatever. So I just told her I'd come back. I did, and the lady made it wrong, the girl didn't tell her I wanted soy.

Bah. But I got a coupon for a free drink- any kind, any size, next time I come in so I guess it was worth it.

That was stressful just to read! Glad you have a freebie coming
