Something was really uncomfortable about a group of cops congregating, looking at us. Made us pay but not the cops. Felt really gross, no longer felt like a customer but an obligee. Wish they treated everyone equally. They did not great us at all, but they greeted the cops with excitement.
Lately, I've noticed that most Starbucks' locations have become a bit stingy. I normally order a Vente sized item, but lately, I open the lid to find my cup barely 3/4 full. Sometimes less! I've recently stopped ordering Vente and just order the Grande since that seems to be all that you get. To be honest, there are so many better options around these days, Black Rock and Dutch Bros come to mind. Unfortunately, I go to Starbucks for convenience. I mean, they're like McDonald's, they are everywhere. I pass 3 of them when I go to work, and if I drive one block past work, there's another.
