Starbucks - Sun City West

This is your basic Starbucks in a grocery store. Good service and fast compared to the grocery checkout at this Safeway.

I was shopping at Safeway and was thirsty for a water. I asked the young lady at 6:05 (they close at 6) if they were closed. She stated yes. Then I asked if I just wanted a water if I could get one. She said no their registers were closed and it cost 50 cents for a water. I mean really?! Water is a basic need of life and no other Starbucks has ever charged me for a water. Very rude. Calling corporate.

I took the time to post this review as this was my second time stopping at this Starbucks. 1/5/2024 at 5:30PM. The barista was a little brunette. She knew she was handing me a hot cut of flavored water with no coffee in it. $8 for a cut of hot water. This is my second time having a coffee ordered from here with no coffee in it. Colored hot water. The Manager knows what's going on you can bet. Both should be fired IMO. I seldom take the time to post a negative review but this one really pissed me off she did this..She knows most of us are hitting the freeway and won't come back. She's a little witch.

I 'm not a real fan of Starbucks but a friend suggested I try their Passion Fruit/Pineapple Refresher drink. Big mistake. They used freeze dried pineapple. Nasty stuff after it gets soaked. For the cost their products it should have been real pineapple bits . Almost $5.00 for medium size. Their prices are ridiculous. Don 't know why people are so addicted to their coffee and other drinks. Don 't waste your money on their newest refresher drink . Their employees are pretty darn nice considering the company they work for.

I never have a problem with what I order. They always make it great. However, I would say the barista (don’t know her name. Older blonde lady wasn’t in the best mood. It’s been a few times I’ve ordered and I’ve noticed she’s either not a morning person or just doesn’t enjoy her job idk. But the last time she was upset because people were leaving little to no tips and she made it known. Paying with card, I don’t have an option to leave a tip or I’m unaware of how to do it because I love leaving generous tips. I got my drink quickly and left. Great customer service really does go a long way. Customers will remember the service and not only return to that same location, but will be more likely to tip if that’s what you’re working for.
