5.50 /hour? That's damn low.
If work 8 hours per day, you get RM44.
If work 30 days per month (no break), you only get RM1320.

So low. Of course you get bad customer service. With this kind of pay, you only attract this kind of employees.

It's amazing how KFC can still hire people paying only RM3.50 per hour.

I am not sure about starbucks in other country but Malaysia's starbucks is not nice. Used to be quite lousy until they introduces java chip and dark mocha. But still, their ice blended is lousy cause the blended ice is chunky. Not blended properly. Their food is also lousy. No different from any other bakery.

Compared to coffee bean, their ice blended is totally fine and tasty. Their cakes and bakery is unique and great. Food also have more variety there with meals that can actually be filling.

I used to frequent starbucks a lot until the past few years...more coffee bean for me now. And their 20% discount on citibank credit cards is totally worth it.

If i not mistaken starbucks coffee bean is supply by 1 supplier and this supplier to Southeast Asia startbuck

what sort of supply are you referring to? Coffees? Bakeries? Food? Equipment? Cause I do not think so...I know the kitchen equipment supplier for starbucks. Some they totally import from Starbucks HQ. A franchise as big as starbucks, they need to have very strict control policy. The last thing they want would be having same supplier with their competitor.

Has anybody purchased 'Buy 1 Free 1' promotion using Maybank Amex card before? I feel that the drinks are a watered down / tasteless if I purchase via this promo. Or maybe it's just me.  unsure.gif

No way starbucks will do kind of things to spoil their business. You can see they are using same method to make the drinks irrespective of promo drinks or not. But understand that different worker will make drinks differently especially newbies. So if you find the drinks watered down or taste weird, just go back to them and tell them. They will most probably re-make a new drink for you.

hahaha...
still remember...
when the first time bought ice blended at the starbucks...
didnt know about the called of the cup sizes...
so i went to like ask for medium cup...
malu2...

love the frappucino caramel and java chip....

no need to be embarrased. Small, medium and large is a universal denomination that is common to describe sizes. Just because starbucks wanna be special and used spanish words for it doesn't means they are right. I insist on calling them MEDIUM or REGULAR when I order. I don't give a damn about what they call it venti or mati or p*ki.

then you belagak back. Do just like what I watched in a movie (forgot the name).

Ask the cashier...do you speak spanish? I don't, so I don't know what the f*** is venti or whatever you call your drink sizes. I want a REGULAR size. Do you have it or not?
