The two Starbucks locations in Edmond slotted for closure - at 15th and Santa Fe and Danforth and Santa Fe - are going dark on December 19.

[oneforone]

The Del City store is gone. I will admit, they left the building in good shape. It looks like any business could move right in and open in just a few days.

[ultimatesooner]

close em all

[metro]

The two Starbucks locations in Edmond slotted for closure - at 15th and Santa Fe and Danforth and Santa Fe - are going dark on December 19.

What about the one on 2nd near UCO or the one on 15th and Broadway. Edmond has at least 4-5 Starbucks if not more.

[bwana_bob]

15th & Broadway, 15th & Bryant, 2nd & Baumann, Memorial & Bryant, the location inside the SuperTarget at 2nd & Bryant and the new store on the UCO campus (in the Night Center, lower level, NW side) will remain open.

[okyeah]

The Starbucks at 122nd & Penn closes on December 19. The one on Britton & Broadway Extension also closes Dec. 19.

I'm assuming all the starbucks that were supposed to close are closing on this date......

[alan]

all disenfranchised (literal pun) starbucks fans can now upgrade to Vintage Coffee @ 150th and Western. Drive-thru, wi-fi, fresh pastries, organic fairly traded coffee - you'll forget about starbucks forever.

[oneforone]

Does anybody here every frequent Cowgirl Coffee?

[jsibelius]

Java Dave's here.

[Intrepid]

It looked like the store on 89th and Western was still open as of this morning. There were a few cars and the lights were on.

I know it was on the list to be closed.

I was told by an employee of the Starbucks at I-240 and Penn that the 89th and Western store may be given a reprieve.

They were doing better than expected since the closure announcement and were on a different kind of "watch list" corporately. Take it for what it's worth...just reporting what was said...

[jbrown84]

240 & Penn was never set to close...

[SoonerDave]

240 & Penn was never set to close...

I didn't say it was. An employee at that store told me the store at 89th and Western is being granted the reprieve.

[jbrown84]

Oops. Shame on me for skimming.

If you are talking about the one in Jones, it closed a few months ago.

[alan]

If you are talking about the one in Jones, it closed a few months ago.

they may be referring to the drive-thru shack over off of 39th Hwy and Rockwell(?). they may have reopened, not sure.

i don't know how they are able to run a drive-thru coffee shack in oklahoma county. when we looked into it, the health dept. said any establishment that handles hazardous food products (milk is classified as one) must have a 7x7 ADA bathroom. that is about the size of most coffee shacks.

[oneforone]

They have/had locations at Waterloo & Bryant and 39th & Rockwell.

[blangtang]

In case anyone cares, its tomorrow. but ends at 1030 am. I don't get up before noon so bah!

The professor was spot on. I'm often irritated with having to deal
a work force that can barely speak English, and I'm not talking about
those from other countries but those born and educated here. The
barista apparently has control issues.

From The Consumerist

For some customers, Starbucks' very particular lexicon is a
source of anxiety and possibly even anger. But it wasn't having
to order a "venti" or a "tall" that drove a NYC college professor
into an argument at a Manhattan Starbucks over the weekend.
Instead, it was her refusal to tell an employee what she didn't
want on her bagel.

"I just wanted a multigrain bagel," the woman told The NY Post.
"I refused to say 'without butter or cheese.' When you go to
Burger King, you don't have to list the six things you don't want...
Linguistically, it's stupid, and I'm a stickler for correct English."

According to the professor, she was then told she wouldn't get
anything at all unless she specified that she wanted neither
butter nor cheese on her bagel.

"I yelled, 'I want my multigrain bagel!'" she said. "The barista
said, 'You're not going to get anything unless you say butter or
cheese!'" The debate escalated to the point where the manager
contacted the police. The professor says the officers told her
they would have to arrest her if she refused to leave.

The Post also spoke to a Starbucks employee who witnessed
the incident. "She would not answer. It was a reasonable
question," the worker said. "She called [the barista] an a—hole."

Could this situation have been resolved better by the employee
and manager? Was the professor just causing a scene? Would
you like butter or cheese on that?

[RadicalModerate]

This is not a new phenominon.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

[MDot]

She has a point, but she should have just said wether or not she didn't want butter or cheese and made a complaint to the manager or a higher being rather than make a scene. But I still think she has a really good point, she should've just handled it differently IMO.

[Easy180]

She comes across as a bizzatch...Employee was just doing what their employer asked them to do...Gotta problem say you just want it plain, pay for it then take your gripe up with the manager or feel free to not come back

Pretty obvious this lady came in with a tude

[betts]

I'm going to agree with Easy. Also, language is not static, and rules of grammar are only as correct as current usage. I'm waiting for the day when are is replaced by R and you by U, thanks to texting by our kids (and my lazy husband). English evolves and we have to evolve with it. In addition, when one acts like that, one's message will be ignored.
