I just wanted to send a shout out to the crew of the Starbucks on the corner of 1st Ave South and Walker in Seattle. I’ve truly enjoyed going in there as part of my morning caffeine fix. So Howard, if you get a chance to read this, make sure you give these people an “atta boy”.
I do remember seeing that Pete had been recognized as Partner of the Quarter. This award was definitely deserved because when he’s there, he is on top of things. He goes out of his way to remember people’s names and make them feel welcome.
On a side note, I’m digging the free refills from the Starbucks Card Program. It’s the saving grace of my day.
Thanks again,

I went to Starbucks the other day, and my mocha tasted really off. At most businesses, I would not have the guts to ask for a redo (I would just say nothing but not go back again), but I knew they would be cool about it. This was a location in Issaquah that I had never been to, and the atmosphere was impressive – a fireplace, plenty of good furniture, and several desks with desklamps. I was almost sorry to have to take it to go. I don’t think McCafe will be competing anytime soon. I might even check into this Rewards card you have been talking about.
