Starbucks - Federal Way

4 pm on a Monday only drive thru was open. Hire more staff and pay them better so this doesn't happen!

This location is drive thru only 3/6/2024. I wish this was noted somewhere because I tried to meet a new client here to talk about a new business connection and was unable to.

Daughter had a soccer practice about a mile away. Rather than adding more carbon to the atmosphere I figured I would do the healthy thing and walk. It was about 6pm on a Thursday and when I got there the lobby was locked with a sign that said “Drive Thru Only”. Walked to the drive-through and was told they couldn’t serve me because I wasn’t in a car (with no other customers in sight; fairly certain the person was just speaking to a friend on their phone). The employee suggested I could cross a very busy 5 lane road to go to another one in a Target. Since I didn’t want to walk even further to find a safe crosswalk I just went back to the practice. Considering this place has a lobby I can’t believe Starbucks corporate can’t find a way within their “policies” to find a safe way to serve people that are just trying to get some exercise and actually not take the car for something that is a walkable distance.

I'll never go to another Starbucks. I'm sick of them pushing this pride perversion. Listen to Matt Walsh, he does an excellent job in telling like it is.

For those complaining that it’s a drive thru only…..it’s because of the unhoused in the area . It’s become unsafe, as vagrants want in. Hardly Starbucks
