My coffee tastes fine but the Venti I ordered was only filled about 2/3 full, and this isnât the first time this has happened. I donât have time to go back and forth to Starbucks to get what I paid for.

Title: Starbucks Murrells Inlet: Where the Dumpster Steals and Tales of Felinicidic Managers Steal the Show đ§âđ
Some coffee shops greet you with the aroma of freshly ground beans. This Starbucks in Murrells Inlet greets you with⊠the gaping maw of an open dumpster. The doors sit wide open like the worldâs most depressing welcome sign, offering both a visual and olfactory experience: think rotten milk meets spoiled kimchi and tuna. That beach vacation will smilie with delight. While enjoying this delightful bouquet, I had the privilege of witnessing two near-miss fender bendersâbecause nothing says âdrive-thru efficiencyâ like forcing cars to dodge each other and the occasional flying napkin from Trash Mountain.
And just when you think the curbside charm ends there, you spot a lonely bowl of cat food outside the front doors. Never mind the obvious food safety miss, the tale behind it will leave you in stitches while scratching your head out of concern for another episode of incompetent corporate leaderships. The partners (Starbucks term for their indentured servants) told me the bowl is for the community catâa beloved local mascot adored by customers and staff. Well, almost all the staff. Enter the legend of âCat Killer Dougâ, the district manager allegedly so anti-cat he has engineered several plots to âunaliveâ the poor thing. Plot twist: the cat has hitherto survived Doug's felinicidic dreams must like that old roadrunner dodged a similarly vain and incompetent predator.
Inside, the smell does improve but you enter a new realm of dumb Starbucks policies, namely the C-Suite thinks customers will flock back to the buck if employees scribble bizarre and borderline inappropriate notes on customer cups. My daughterâs cup read âIâm looking at you,â which was unsettling in the least charming way possible. My sonâs cup? âHot stuff, yum.â Thatâs not flirty-funnyâthatâs please-donât-write-this-on-a-strangerâs-cup territory. And when I raised this to the store manager? Blank stares, zero action. AKA being of the current generation. The whole situation screamed incompetenceâif you canât address basic professionalism issues with your staff, maybe you shouldnât be running a store at all. But then if your store has strange exterior odors and a district manager obsessed with unaliving a cat, what can you really expect.
In short: the partners here are mostly lovely, their stories Rogan ready. The coffee is⊠Starbucks so let's not get carried away. But (and it's a big one) the management drama, dumpster theater, and weird cup writing âconnectionsâ make this location feel like a sitcom that ran three seasons too long.
Thank goodness for BoxCar @ Loweâs Foods, where the coffee is fresh, the air is clean, and the only thing making eye contact with you is the barista handing over your latte.
Megan was exceptional! â€ïž (Right on time) Itâs been tough and to have people like Megan, fills the heart with hope.

The coffee is great, but the corporate anti military attitude means I'll never buy from Starbucks again. A brand new Dunkin' just opened right behind Starbucks. Dunkin' has fantastic coffee, a big menu to choose from; the bacon bites are addictive!

I spend so much money at Starbucks and have purchased the same drink over and over yet the guys that says he is the store Mgr Blake makes my Macha Green tea frap with a Coffee base and then is so rude to own up to his mistake by arguing that there is no difference in the Coffee base and CrĂšme base never offers compensation for our return visit to fix the drink correctly. Beware of this location.

Got a Grande Iced Shaken Espresso and ask for little ice. But was still given the same amount of ice a usual cup would get đ©đ©đ© the egg white wrap was on point though. Please more coffee than ice!
