Starbucks - Clive

The coffee tasted like it had been brewed with dirty socks. It was absolutely unpleasant! I would recommend avoiding it at all costs!

Hyde was fantastic! Hyde and her friend, whose name I unfortunately didn't catch, ensured that my drink was absolutely perfect!

SURPRISINGLY aggressive customers overall in the drive thru line, and a MANAGER and POLICY that IS UNFLINCHINGLY RIGID and OVERLY SELF-RIGHTEOUS ABOUT THE SO CALLED REFILL POLICY. PLEASE! YOU WERE EVEN GIVEN A TIP FOR SIMPLY DELIVERING FOOD THRU A WINDOW (GRUFFLY. OH.YES...AND I DID OFFER TO PAY FOR THE REFILL AT THE END OF THIS DEEPLY DISAPPOINTING EXPERIENCE. I was given a refill BEGRUDGINGLY after going thru the drive thru a SECOND time but THEN READ THE RULES STERNLY by EMPLOYEES AND THEN THE MANAGER TOO!!!. I WAS OUTRAGED at the TONE and VERBAL SPANKING I WAS GIVEN for VIOLATING PROCEDURE and NOT KNOWING THE RULES. NEVER BEEN TREATED THIS WAY AT ANY STARBUCKS in another more relaxed state...very surprised to find unhappy and uptight customers and staff at this location of Starbucks. They won 't need to tell me their rules again here because I will actually go ANYWHERE ELSE NOW for a MORNING COFFEE and SANDWICH (11 DOLLARS and JUST TERRIBLE VALUE for a LITTLE SQUARE of FLOUR with some cheese ...find a gracious mom and pop independent coffee spot and save yourself from this SHOCKINGLY UNHAPPY PLACE IN THE NORMALLY HAPPY AND GENEROUS IOWA. It was the LOW POINT of an otherwise great experience in Iowa for this west coaster. NOW...ANYTHING BUT STARBUCKS IS GOOD TO ME. YOU CAN KEEP YOUR REFILL POLICY and I WILL SAVE THE 11 BUCKS OF ANXIETY, ANGRY AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR and MEAN DRIVERS TOO at this LOCATION... YES!!!...EVEN the CUSTOMERS LOOK MISERABLE going and coming here...SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG WITH THIS STORE....I WATCHED the procession for 30 minutes, observing MANY DISGRUNTLED CUSTOMERS going thru the drive thru and running in and out of the door grabbing their overpriced burnt and bitter but WEAK caffeinated drinks. NOBODY WAS SMILING ABOUT ANYTHING... JUST GO ANYWHERE ELSE and STEER CLEAR of this UNHAPPY OVERPRICED PLACE. Anywhere will be a better choice....sorry Starbucks...I 'VE FINALLY GIVEN YOU YOUR LAST TRY because of this weird and UNEXPECTED EXPERIENCE IN THE USUALLY WARM AND KIND IOWA! Wheelchair accessibility: I told them it was difficult for me to get out of the car and they didnt care, telling me refills only happen inside. I was mortified at my experience after simply circling the parking lot and hoping to get a refill. I 'm done with Starbucks for life and strongly suggest you avoid them overall, but especially this unhappy uncaring location. Btw, my double knee replacement is pending...but couldn 't explain that before someone was hurrying me and telling me the refill policy TWICE!!! Just avoid here....anywhere is more gracious and kind.
