There were ice cream open bag inside and someone exchange with regular ice cream not covered with peanuts butter out side .

    Trying to get pokemon cards from the vending machine is impossible if a starbucks employee constantly vulturing the vending machine. He takes off his starbucks apron everytime he goes to the vending machine so he doesn't show that he's an employee not supposed to do that. Check the cameras and check how much product he has bought. It's a younger middle eastern/spanish ethnic guy starbucks employee and usually works tuesday morning. shift. He should be able to buy before and after his shift, not be able to buy during his entire shift so others cant get anything. Unacceptable.

    The employees stalk the Pokémon machine! I was in the store for maybe 10 minutes to get a few things and I saw no less than three employees walk past and check that machine. Its supposed to be for customers - not employees to take advantage up.

    This is for the Starbucks inside of this location. Could not find a separate site to write this. I came into this location on three separate occasions today for coffee and whomever was supposed to be running the counter was never there. Instead he was over checking the pokemon vending machine. On two separate occasions, once in the morning and another time in the early afternoon, I saw the employee speed walk from behind the counter to check the machine while another customer was approaching it. On my third attempt for coffee later in the afternoon, I figured the other guy would be off, I saw for the third time the starbucks area completely empty and the exact same starbucks employee checking the machine. Will be avoiding this location, employee is more concerned with pokemon then providing a service

    I learned that safeway's have pokemon vending machines which help parents like me who can't get to target on a random tues at 2pm. This safeway is near my work so I've been excited to check it here and there when possible and grab lunch. Unfortunately, the Starbucks employees, and Safeway employees regularly check and purchase all the product in this machine. I walked in and the cashier from starbucks literally came out in front of me and checked before I could. At first I thought wow, that's odd. I came back another day during my lunch and almost the exact same thing happened - same employee! I won't be going back for shopping or the vending machine.
