I normally avoid Starbucks like the plague, but while in Somerset recently I had an uncontrollable urge for iced coffee, so I was forced to pay a visit. There's one in Somerset right off the turnpike exit. So I walk in and I notice that they have no prices posted for either hot coffee or iced coffee. When I bring this to their attention, they just say that they only put up the signs with the items and prices that Starbucks Central ships to them. This I figure is just a lame excuse for laziness or inattention to detail, or both, so my visit is not getting off to a promising start.
I then order my grande iced coffee and they ask me the usual (sweetened or unsweetened, room for cream?). I answer unsweetened and room for cream, please. So when I get my beverage, they have already added the cream! I mean what is this, Dunkin Donuts? They seemed to be totally nonplussed (I always have wanted to use that word) when I told them they're not supposed to put the cream in. Anyway, if you happen to visit the Starbucks in Somerset, PA be prepared for some surprises.
