A
lot
of
room
for
improvement.
Only
two
employees
to
handle
a
high
traffic
three
person
job.
Although
the
two
employees
were
game,
cared,
and
knew
how
to
make
the
drinks,
they
need
another
person
so
they
aren't
frantic
and
don't
have
disgruntled
customers,
many
of
which
were
waiting
with
crossed
arms.
The
line
was
never
less
than
two
people
for
1.5
hours
from
9:30
to
11:30
am.
When
I
finally
did
order
with
two
people
in
line,
it
took
20
minutes
to
get
the
coffee
because
they
were
so
backlogged
making
the
drinks
for
the
people
who
had
already
paid.
I
asked
for
a
complaint/suggestion
sheet
so
I
could
let
the
management
know
they
needed
a
third
person
and
the
employees
said
there
weren't
any,
THEN
started
complaining
to
each
other
they
needed
another
person!
I
asked
for
a
card
with
the
Starbuck's
address
on
it.
They
didn't
have
any.
Then
the
assistant
manager
arrived
and
the
tone
of
the
two
employees,
already
frantic
to
satisfy
customers,
told
the
assistant
manager
that
they
needed
more
people
and
one
person
had
left
earlier
that
morning.
So
I
asked
the
manager
for
a
suggestion
sheet.
He
went
and
got
me
one.
It
didn’t
say
Starbuck’s.
It
said
Pavilions.
Then
the
assistant
manager
left
instead
of
helping
the
Starbuck’s
employees!
I
think
Starbuck’s
needs
to
run
this
shop,
not
Pavilions,
so
the
assistant
manager
can
fill
in
when
needed
like
at
the
other
Starbuck’s
near
Trancas
Market,
and
any
store
for
that
matter.
The
Starbuck’s
at
Trancas
Market
is
getting
remodeled
but
is
still
only
allowed
a
certain
number
of
customers
for
the
space
they
have.
It
will
be
interesting
to
see
how
the
Pavilion’s
Starbuck’s
is
affected
when
the
one
at
Trancas
Market
re-opens
as
the
Trancas
one
was
much
more
organized
and
better
managed
at
the
moment.
I
heard
one
excuse
from
a
customer
that
there
wasn’t
enough
room
for
three
people
to
make
the
drinks.
People!
The
Trancas
Starbuck’s
has
been
doing
that,
in
a
smaller
space,
FOR
YEARS!
Another
person
felt
I
was
attacking
the
employees.
I
said
that
doesn’t
stand,
since
the
employees
were
complaining
yet
didn’t
allow
themselves
to
be
helped
by
a
customer,
which
would
carry
some
weight,
suggesting/helping
to
get
a
third
person.
When
I
waited
30
minutes
in
line
to
buy
something
at
WalMart,
I
put
in
a
suggestion.
Next
time,
the
management
had
honed
the
number
of
checkers.
That’s
management.
Let’s
not
enable
dysfunction.
People
need
to
write
letters
to
the
Pavilions
Starbuck’s
and
request
better
MANAGEMENT
including
always
having
a
third
stand
in
available,
i.e.
the
assistant
manager,
as
the
employees
themselves
were
trying
to
do
a
three
person
job
and
the
management
was
apathetic.
