While out running errands today I stopped at one of the few Starbucks in
this neck of the woods. Starbucks service has aways been slow. I have
often wondered how they can turn the act pouring a cup of coffee into a
time consuming process, but I confess to liking their coffee better than
the main alternatives.

At any rate, I was walking towards Starbucks as a young woman was on her
way out and she shouted to someone waiting for her in a a car "Holy shit
the service in there is so ****ing slow!!"

Surprise, surprise, surprise. It was no surprise to me that service
would be slow at a Starbucks. The only surprise was that a young woman,
NB not a young lady, would be yelling profanities like that. I was in no
hurry and went on ahead, expecting that i might have to stand in line a
little longer than usual. There were four woman ahead of me, and
apparently all together because a girl behind the counter beaconed to me
and took my order.

I was stunned. After that profane outburst outside the store I had the
fastest service that I have ever had in Starbucks, service much faster
than I am used to just about anywhere.

the 'holy' before the 'shit' turned it into a prayer, which are sometimes
answered.

Never had problems with speed at Starbucks or Bridgehead in Ottawa.
Sometimes there are long lineups at all outlets downtown around coffee
break which is why I got my daily Americano (triple tall extra hot) at
13h30.

Maybe that explains why Starbucks has never made a huge dent in the
coffee business here in the heart of Tim Hortons country. There are
only three Starbucks here in the Niagara Peninsula.

If you order a cup of coffee, and it takes more than a minute, I'd say that
the service is slow. If you order a triple expresso, half latte, half
caramel frappucino almond iced whatever, (with extra cherries and bananas)
the production time could be extended.

Did you actually sit there and see (that's possible, you know) what it was
that took so long to produce your order?

Are you retarded? Did you utterly fail to comprehend "I had the fastest
service that I have ever had in Starbucks, service much faster than I am
used to just about anywhere"? Well, yes, obviously you *did* fail to
comprehend what Dave wrote... which I guess answers the first question, too.
