Starbucks

Nuts and bolts: Shopping outside in December necessitates a warm drink!
Order: Chai tea latte and Pike Place coffee.
Verdict: Nothing to complain about. They moved through the line quickly. The drinks were hot and tasted like they always should.
Take home message. No reason not to stop by if you are in need of a drink.

The b-​words that work here are crazy and have that ditzy BS face DOWN. My aunt commented on how they were stacking the cups after writing the order on it, completely contaminating the inside of the cup! All those little girls could say in response was, «Yeah…we know…» STUPID. The least they could have done was provide a more professional, but still BS, response.
I’ve been to my fair share of Starbucks, by far the craziest.

First!
… it’s a Starbucks, I know this. But you should know it’s a crazed Starbucks smack dab in the center of the Chicago Premium Outlets (yes, they’re actually located in Aurora) and this particular location is overrun with gaggles of giggly high school girls with fresh driver’s licenses in Coach wristlets (and mom’s borrowed 5-​series) in addition to your token surly outlet shoppers. Smile!
… it’s a Starbucks. They make all the usual frothy signature espresso drinks, chai, Frappuccino, iced + smoothly caffeinated beverages and so on. They also carry a serious smattering of baked goods and snacks which surprised me (again, considering the location).
… it’s a Starbucks. They’re not re-​inventing the wheel, you already know what you’re going to get. But, I did notice that this outpost isn’t as clean as others. However, the biggest hazard to your health is getting mowed down by others… keep moving and you’ll survive!
