Other than the odd bad time you get anywhere you go, I found Starbucks employees generally helpful, bright and attentive. A *lot* of businesses would do better to follow that path. I don't go because I don't like their coffee, and there are other outlets (my local coffee house being a prime example) where I can get both service and a product I enjoy.
