Basically, I have no complaints about Starbucks. Their staffs are always friendly, compared to the lousy services I got elsewhere. To them, they treat their customers like proper customers and also good friends. So, going to Starbucks is always a definite pleasure from me as I always get a smile from them, regardless of gender, race, religion. My only grouse? If you check out the link of Starucks I've posted above, the site says that the Starbucks store (on the 2nd level) is supposed to be opened for business at 0730hrs every day, no matter rain or shine, normal days or pulic holidays. But lately, for the past few weeks (close to a month), their store is only opened for business after 0830hrs. Either the manager/store-in-charge cannot wake up on time or that their pay does not enable them to buy watches for themselves. Sometimes when I work in the morning shift and I crave for a cuppa, only to realise that their shop is still not opened despite reaching there at 0845hrs....

So, if you plan to grab a cuppa in the morning, please think twice. It is best to go to Starbucks Vivo (2nd level) only after 0930hrs when they are really "opened" for business. Alternatively, you might be better off if you go to Pacific Coffee instead as they are always opened at 0730 or 0800 sharp.

P/S: This photo was snapped at 0855 when they are "opened" for business. I was already hanging around there from 0830 onwards and they weren't opened yet...
