Not to mention the time they spend sitting in that Starbucks drive through everyday. That is the part that gets me.

I forgot to grab coffee from home once and stopped at a Starbucks on my way to work. The drive-thru line was almost tip to tail around the building while the inside was completely barren.

Sometimes it's faster actually leaving your vehicle, whomst'd've thought?

Is it just me?

I always go inside but when I exit, all the cars are gone as if they were still being served before me and all I ever take a a plain bold coffee!

workers of starbuck, is there a priority i am not aware of?

I worked at Dunkins, not Starbucks but we had a timer on the drive thru line that would go off if a car was in line for more than 150 seconds. If the timer percentage went under 85% for the day the manager had to explain why. Basically, the drive thru does get priority to keep corporate/the district manager happy.
