Starbucks in Rancho Palos Verdes

“What an absolute masterpiece of the third space. Howard Schultz would be proud. And Brian Nichols must be absolutely ecstatic about the quick turnaround times on a drive thru less store serving a very demanding community. I witnessed a manager on duty who was absolutely slayying the art of line expediting and serving alongside the team like a leader instead of a boss. Special shout out to Abby who fulfilled my request to wipe the table. Maybe some Murphy's Oil Soap next visit to make those beautiful tables that I wanted to haul out the front door and toss into the hatchback of the Prius. But I digress. I can probably find it on Wayfair. The foot pedestal that anchored the tabletop to the floor was great for tapping with my flip flops as I further refined my app with Gemini AI Studio. The views out the windows here are simply unmatched by any other store. It's a compact retail footprint but everything is absolutely perfect. And no key code for the restroom!“

“Our favorite Starbucks, not because of the atmosphere (in the middle of Ralphs) or the coffee (like at any Starbucks), but because of the superb and friendly staff running that Starbucks. Special thanks to Eddie for getting us another „Strohhalm“.“
