Attention: Senior Supervisor

 

Subject: Incomplete order (transaction ID: 229687575)

 

To Whom It May Concern,

 

I am a loyal customer of Starbucks and have been a Gold Reward Cardholder since 2012. I choose Starbucks because of your company’s dedication to consistency and stellar customer experience. However, I was very disappointed by the order I placed on March 3, 2022 (transaction ID: 229687575), which consisted of 4 coffee travellers. Please find my receipt attached to this email.

 

I expected cups, creamer, and sugar for 80 servings, which are included in the order. I received none of these items on March 5 at 5:00 PM. The order was placed for a coffeehouse event in Marine Drive residence. We were unable to serve coffee efficiently to our attendees due to the lack of supplies and ingredients. Moreover, coffee is a vital component to the event’s theme and we received negative feedback from attendees. The next day I called your store and spoke with the weekend supervisor, Hannah, regarding this incident. Hannah reassured me that the Senior Supervisor would reach out to me on Monday, March 7. I have not received a follow up call.

 

Overall, I am dissatisfied by the incomplete order and lack of follow up. I am formally requesting a full refund. As a long-time customer I trust that Starbucks will remedy this situation by granting my request. Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to your reply.

 

Best regards
