Starbucks - Cottonwood

So this Starbucks is in Safeway and it is so so so much better than the other Starbucks in town, less people correct mixes and very friendly atmosphere. If you look at my reviews I'm very fair but honest. I will only be going to this Starbucks from here on out..

Always consistent, friendly, clean, and personalized.

So for the person who says that this Starbucks gets a lot of Karens, it may be because of how rude the barista is. I was super tired this morning because I 'm still healing from cancer treatments and had a double masectomy a few weeks ago. This is why I didn 't see the food sign. Chemo brain is an actual thing and we miss stuff. When I asked him if they had food, he said the food sign is there. When I was looking for it, he said very rudely said It 's right there in front of your face, Ma 'am. I said, Oh, didn 't see it. Sorry, chemo brain. I was looking at the menu and asked him a question, when another guy walked up. Instead of answering my question, he started talking to this guy. I wasn 't sure if the guy had been there first, so I said, Do you need to help him first? The guy at the counter responds in a loud voice. I 'm looking at you, not at him, then laughs and rolls his eyes at the guy standing there. He didn 't bother to let me know my food and drinks were done, and let me stand there for awhile until I figured it out. The guy was pretty mean to me when I was in there and I mentioned it to my husband because he asked me what was wrong when I got back in the car. He went in and told the barista that he was rude to me. The barista said I wasn 't rude. My husband told him he was, and he replied, You calling me a liar? My husband said, Yes because my wife doesn 't lie. Why would she say that? She just came in for coffee and snacks and couldn 't find the food menu, and you were rude about it, but really nice to the male customer. The barista responded with you coming in here all entitled? I 've seriously gone into Starbucks all over the world like thousands of times over the years and everyone is always really nice. I also recognize that people have bad days or take things the wrong way. However, this man went out of his way to be unkind right off the bat. There 's another Starbucks a block or so down the road, so I suggest people go to that one instead of the one in Safeway. Clearly their reviews show you why.

I like Starbucks, but every time I go to this location, the wait is at least 20 minutes. Today, the wait was almost 30 min.

Breakfast sandwich comes out in 7 minutes, I have to approach the counter for my drink after another 10 minutes of waiting. Lame
