The heavy glass doors swing open and the smell of fresh, roasted coffee beans travel up my nose. The smell is not strong, but obvious enough to realize the aroma. The jazz music is soft and relaxing which helps keep Starbucks’s comforting reputation. Lights are dimmed, and the noise level is mild. The sound is fuzzy; you can tell the customers are trying to respect others around them. The loudest people in the room are workers and the machines. Sounds of grinding, dinging and banging coming from behind the counter. You can see the baristas hard at work, yet not too stressed because they are probably used to the stress and fast paced environment.
The cash registers are beeping and dinging as each customer orders something. “Hi, what would you like today?” says the cashiers every time someone new steps to the registers. You can tell some customers are regulars, some come occasionally and some are not familiar. Some customers take longer to order than others, and you can see the customers behind them get inpatient as they continuously tap on their lap vigorously, sighing. There is definitely a great variety within the type of people who order at Starbucks. The types of people on line range from young to old, some are in suits and some are in heels. I can only spot one student in line with a huge Jansport backpack and college sweatshirt peeping through his open coat. The woman right in front of him seems older, full head of grey hair and slightly hunched. Looking around you can see people hang out in here for different reasons. There are a few customers with laptops open,
typing fast because the caffeine has probably sunk into their systems. There are two professional looking men in suits who seem to be on break. Sipping their coffee and laughing through their conversation. The little girl sitting alone at the couch, playing with her fingers is probably waiting for the person she is with to finish ordering. At the table near the window, there is an older gentleman with glasses reading the paper and sipping on a cold beverage.
The design of the coffee shop is classic and artistic but not too distracting. The artwork on the wall blend with the theme and match the vibe well. The shelves of coffee mugs, shirts, tumblers and coffee beans seem untouched. They are placed perfectly and are in synch with each other. Each customer that passes by the shelves either don’t look at it at all or they glance unconsciously but never stop
