I cut back on the $4.65 coffees from Bigby ($5.08 when I get an extra shot of espresso) to twice a week. And if they didn't have the handy dandy drive through I would probably find some where else.
There is one thing that really bugs the crap out of me about this place, or actually a couple of baristas that take my order. And that's when I order a Skinny Skinny latte or mocha. They will then ask "so you want skim milk and sugar free syrup?". Yes!!!!!!! Your company came up with the lingo that's what I want!!!! What else could I possibly want when I order this?
I instantly get annoyed when this happens. And it's always the same people. I come around the same time and order the same damn thing every freaking time. When they hand me the coffee through the window they'll always say "here's your skinny skinny vanilla bean (or mocha)" and I am so tempted to ask if has skim milk and sugar free syrup.
Oh and that stupid tip cup they hang outside the window I completely ignore. The "Help a poor college student", "stimulate my economy" and other witty things they write on there does not tempt me in the least to put any money in it.
1. They are getting paid to do their job
2. I just paid $4-$5 for a coffee that probably costs 75 cents to make.
3. They are not a waitress making under minimum wage.
