Life is too short of average to bad coffee

At Starbucks Tygervallley this morning as is regularly the case. Staff is different... Sadly, the coffee isn't great. I would like to say it is average, but I've had better coffee at my local Checkers. I have higher expectations of Starbucks. The coffee is weak. There is little to no caramel in the caramel machciato and the staff didn't ask if I would like it with a darker or regular roast... The difference is noticable and unfortunate.
