I agree with Caffeinated on Campus…Starbucks staffs need to get their act together and bring on the local competition!!!! I was a regular at the old location. When I found out about the new location, I thought the new and bigger location would be much better, but I was very wrong. It took me 20 minutes today to get my grande iced green tea drink…15 MINUTES FOR A PREMADE ICE TEA! As result, I was late to class. At the old location, a smaller one, I only need to wait a few minutes to get the same drink.
THE STAFF IS SO INEFFICIENT!!! Those that were making the drink today were very slow. They were making the drinks like they had all the time in the world when there were at least 10 people waiting for their drinks and 10+ more waiting in line to order when I was there. They should divide up the work, someone make the coffee and someone else make the tea, instead of making drinks by the order number.
Today was my first day at the new location and I had a bad experience, so I don’t think I will come back there any time soon.

The new Starbucks is a total disaster- there are twice as many employees as the old, smaller location, and it takes twice to four times as long to get the same coffee drink. This was true BEFORE SCHOOL STARTED. Now, with crowds descending upon the new location, the result is a train-wreck. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER STARBUCKS! BRING ON THE LOCAL COMPETITION!

if that is a “real” starbucks, why don’t they give receipts for the treat receipt promo that Starbucks is doing:

It is a SHAME.
Hawai’i should support itself creating businesses and stores based on local products, local economy and local people.
People from the mainland and from all around the world love KONA coffee and we open a CORPORATION on campus.
We should think about what we do before looking “cool” in a corporation shop.
There are many good and cool coffee shop around the islands that are more than happy to start a business like that.

We need one @ UH-Hilo/HawCC.. UH Hilo uses Starbucks coffee but the person making it obviously has never drank coffee…YUK…HawCC has nothing but 2 soda machines once the cafeteria closes at 12:30…That’s BAD!!!
