“Today at the Albany Starbucks, I met a young woman named Shirley — she’s in the National Air Guard.
While she was busy preparing coffee, I casually asked, “What do you do for the Guard?”
Without missing a beat, she said, “I’m a weapons tech.”
Curious, I asked, “On F-18s? A-10s?”
Still in the middle of her shift, she answered, “F-16s.”
Then, between handing off a coffee and prepping the next order, I asked, “Do F-16s use hydraulics or electric systems to rearm on the ground?”
She replied confidently: “Both!”
It blows my mind how this generation can go from discussing advanced military systems to serving up lattes — all in the same breath.
I’m proud to support Starbucks if they employ people like her. What a powerful reminder of how capable, smart, and adaptable today’s youth truly are.”
“Service is always fantastic whichever branch I go to. Super friendly baristas even when it's busy. I always order a caffe latte which never disappoints and locations are well identified and are the perfect spot to enjoy my coffee and get work done.”
“I am always having problems with your app on my Android phone and having problems adding it on my tablet as well it keeps saying problems with google play is there any way you can fix these problems it's really a problem..if taken the app off and reloaded a lot of times...I love your coffee hate the app when it doesn't work”
