Starbucks

Starbucks is a rare treat for me. I went in today for the first time in probably over a year. My dad and brother and I were stranded in the parking lot for a couple hours while they tried to fix the truck, so I did my shopping at the Food Lion and decided to treat myself to my favourite from Starbucks, a caramel frappuccino, while I waited. I tried to remember the name of the lady who took my order but I saw too many nametags today while out and about. She has lilac hair and a kind face and she complimented my earrings. She noticed that I am disabled and very respectfully asked if I needed assistance. I didn't, but I always appreciate being asked. I was a bit flustered from the heat and believe it or not talking to people is hard when you're out of practice, so I forgot the names of the drink sizes immediately after she listed them to me. She helped me decide that I wanted a big one. I really wanted to give her a hug for making me feel better about my difficulty with verbal communication. I'll come back after quarantine and give her a hug! The lady who gave me my drink was called Caitlin and she was sweet and the last person I met today so I remembered her name. I took my drink out and found a nice shady spot to enjoy my treat and wait for the truck to cooperate. Today was my first day out of the house in months, and even though it was very hot in the sun, the shade, the breeze, and the ice cold drink were very pleasant. The social interaction was a bonus! I'm home now sipping the last of my drink and smiling about my day.

Awesome friendly Starbucks located at the West end of the Marketplace shopping mall. The staff has always been friendly when I stopped by. They are fast, friendly and efficient. You can spot this Starbucks from 158. There is limited parking in front of the Starbucks, but there are a lot more parking spaces around the corner. They accept Apple Pay and Google Pay.

Place was very clean and service was fast and friendly. Lots of gifts on the shelves if you’re looking to bring something nice home to a loved one.

Washrooms were large and also very clean.
Lots of places to sit if you wanted to stay for a while but also great as a to go options.
