Starbucks XXXXXX Charleston, SC 29401
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXX December 28, 2017
Dear sir/madam:
I am writing to describe my experience at Starbucks at XXXXXXXXXXX Charleston, SC 29401, which occurred on Wednesday, December 6, 2017 around 4:15 pm.
My friend XXXXXXX and I had finished touring the XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXX house, and decided we had enough time to go to Starbucks for a cup of coffee. What happened after we got to Starbucks was both humorous, and at the same time troubling.
I ordered the coffee, and XXXXXX excused himself to the restroom. A couple of minutes later, I received a cell phone call from XXXXXX, who stated there was no toilet paper in the restroom. At that time I notified the gentleman who had prepared the coffee, and he said he would send someone right away. I offered to take the toilet paper to the restroom since he was very busy, but he said he had already told someone, and they would take it shortly.
When the young lady took the toilet paper to XXXXXX, whose hand was outstretched from behind the door, she kind of threw it at his hand. She then made the statement that she was not allowed to touch a customer's hand. Since XXXXXXX could not see the roll coming, it naturally was not caught and hit the floor. She then picked it off the floor and placed it into Louis's hand. She also made the comment that the homeless people were stealing the toilet paper, with the implication that probably was why none was available.
May I suggest you might want to counsel your employees on the wonderful clensing properties of anti-bacterial soap when properly applied during hand washing, and the desirability of checking the restrooms periodically, so that this type of incident does not occur. I do want to stress that all the employees at this Starbucks during this incident were courteous and friendly. Fortunately, this December 6 experience was not a usual one for me as a Starbucks customer.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXX XXXXXXX XXX XXX-XXXX
You bet, the Afro-Homeless.
Well put and totally accurate.
Prove it!

I generally get their hot Carmel Machiado. It’s incredibly good. It’s good cold too.
It’s the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. Nothing else in my experience has come closer than 60% as good.
I thought I was burned horse piss?
McD’s Double Cheeseburgers. A bit salty, but good. As for coffee, put grounds in a pot of boiling water. Add a horseshoe. When the horseshoe floats, it is ready.
I remember the salty cheeseburgers! That's why I avoided them, and ate Big Macs. But the Big Macs over time turned into little Macs, plus getting saltier and tougher. Just bad food all around. Love your description of their coffee, nailed it.
I now boycott.
Before that: excellent service, good music, lousy coffee.
Est. 1971. My understanding is: The founder learned the trade at Peet’s, Est. 1966. He left, started Starbuck’s with a superior business model and an inferior coffee product.
Open to correction.
When in DC/Virginia next, will check out Peets.
My fave is Cafe Bustelo but if you drink a lot of coffee, we do, it gets expensive. So I’ve settle for the Folgers Black Silk. It’s pretty good.
Ha! At least that local manager has some sense, even if corporate doesn’t.
Travelling around this part of SE Asia a lot, I’ve grown used to carrying TP.
Maybe obama did even more to level the playing field than I give him credit. (Pi$$ be upon him -— somehow appropriate to this thread??)
Love my morning coffee. I grind my own beans, too -- get them from a private roaster.
As for SB, their lattes are okay, but their regular coffee is way too burnt-tasting.
But that's a moot point. I generally avoid SB, because of their politics. I'd rather go to Dunkin Donuts, where I don't have to hear pretentious banter & the latest hate-fest about Trump.
“The best coffee in America comes from McDonalds. ”
You just disqualified yourself as a judge of coffee.
“Starbucks is over priced horse piss.
You just positioned yourself as an authority in horse piss.
As an authority on horse piss, you again disqualified yourself as an authority on coffee, but explained your high esteem for McDonald’s coffee.
Gevalia french roast is from the coffee gods
I would pretty much guess that the strangest experience anyone would ever have in a Starbucks would be to get a good cup of coffee, served by a conservative, at a reasonable price.
Being kidnapped in Starbucks by space aliens, taken up to their UFO and being probed would be a strong second though.
But then, they DO have ‘Star’ in their name, so maybe my second scenario isn’t all that far-fetched.
Starbucks apologist!!
