Starbucks

1. In-store Starbucks (e.g. in Albertsons) don't carry everything a stand-alone Starbucks (retail store) does.
NO Protein Boxes
NO Bagels
NO Grilled Cheese
NO Oatmeal
NO Nitro Cold Brew
NO Starbucks Co. employee discount

2. In Store SB Baristas vs retail SB Baristas have same training but a bit different. Standards & codes are a little different from franchise and retail stand-alone.

FRANCHISE:
WEAR Hairnet & Hat at all times.
NO acrylic/gel/press on Nails.
NO free drink/pastry for Starbucks staff.

3. Be kind to Baristas. Granted, you may encounter a couple of characters but, we are humans. Granted, you pay a lot $$$ for your items. So for your drink not tasting good or an item missing in your bag, it's understandable. Be kind anyway. The Baristas have more things to do and think about than to just serve customers. They also have the team, the store, and their lives to keep up with too. The Baristas who serve you are humans & have lives outside of Starbucks. Be kind.

I like to stop here before I put the boat and jet skis on the water and get my latte. They quick and I shop and get my essentials here in Albertsons before I launch at Lake Elsinore.
