So we have a new starbucks here in town and I was so excited when we got it. Everyone was excited because on the southside, there is only the starbucks in the safeway and well they don't make very good coffee...(sorry if anyone I know works there.)
The new starbucks is 1 of 6 starbucks in town here. I was thrilled because they have my favorite drinks and a drive-through. I don't like to get out of my car when the temperature dips as low as it did today or on any other day for that matter.
So my first few times through the drive-through (2 times)...were actually really good experiences. I ordered my drink (venti upside-down, one shot espresso with caramel through-out, caramel machiatto.) and they got it right. The second time it was a white mocha.
Well my next few times through the drive-through (such as today...) were not thrilling experiences. I ordered white chocolate mocha's, fairly straight forward, not all that complicated to make. The first time I ordered it, it tasted like black coffee, but she did call it a white chocolate mocha, it was just very weak in the milk department. The next few times after that my venti has been half full of white chocolate mocha and the rest filled with cream....half full coffee for like $5.45? I think not!!!
So today I figured ok, it was a two time mistake and they'll get it right. So it is like freezing cold outside, luxury of the drive-through at my disposal and I get my mocha. I drive onto the road to discover the weight of the cup is a bit off, it doesn't feel heavy enough to have any coffee in it. So I take a sip, nothing but whip cream comes out, generally in the first sip, you get some coffee, but not a lot, so I take another sip, full of whip cream again.
By now I am like halfway to the north side and completely upset, so while driving 60km's an hour on an icy busy road, I take the lid off the coffee....now I know what your thinking, that I probably spilled my coffee all over the inside of my nice creamy beige car...well no actually I shoved my finger into the venti cup to discover that my finger tip reaches the coffee level. I put the lid on and am now even more upset, so I drink the few sips of coffee that are in the bottom of the cup.
I will not be returning to the luxury of a starbucks drive-through anytime soon. Instead I will trudge through the snow and the horrible wind and go to my favorite starbucks in chapters because they seem to always get my coffee made right....I may too go complain to the other starbucks and see if I can score a free coffee for the hardship of having half filled venti mocha's.
