Example: The staff is friendly enough but obviously inexperienced and unprofessional. Slow, inaccurate and not worth the convenience. If you work at the mall, go across the street to the real Starbucks.\n\nAs an update to this review I want to iterate that for whatever it's worth this will be my last cent spent here. Raymond is the baristas name that made this decision easy. His rude and unprofessional comment about my workplace and his general attitude towards customers is disgusting. How could an established company such as this door such a poor job hiring?

Example: Super Disappointed in Javier's after last night and not sure that we would ever return to the restaurant after the way Guillermo, the manager, handled our situation and treated us while we were there.  \nWe were a group of 4 (all locals) dining before a show.  Two of us got there early and ordered drinks from the bar.  The bartender, Cara was VERY ACCOMMODATING, really nice and made us martinis that were not on the menu.  She took an idea of the flavors that we were looking for and she made a PERFECT Martini.  The other two in our party arrived, we closed out our tab with Cara ($14 per drink) and we were seated.  \nLuis was our waiter during dinner and did a fantastic job.  We ordered food and continued to order the same Martinis at dinner (we told Luis to go to Cara since she had made the original Martinis).  Dinner was good and then we received the bill.  The Martinis were now $17 instead of the $14 that we were charged at the bar.  I questioned Luis and he said that we were charged the wrong price at the bar and that $17 was the new and correct price.  I explained that it wasn't right to charge $14 at the bar and then $17 at dinner.   We thought that they were $14 and happily paid that at the bar and continued to order because we thought that they were $14.   He offered to get the manager, Guillermo.  Guillermo came over and we explained the situation that we had a couple Martinis at the bar for $14 and then at dinner, they were $17.  Guillermo said that $17 was the right and a fair price for the Martinis and that he would not change it.  I explained that it was not our fault if they charged us the wrong price at the bar but since we had already started drinking the Martinis at one price, didn't he think it would be fair THAT NIGHT to let us have the other two that we ordered at the same price.  He said, NO.  We explained that we were locals, frequented the restaurant and were disappointed in the way that he was handling the situation since we were now arguing over $6 and he said that he would not adjust the price for the Martinis, that was their price and it was a fair price for the Martinis.  He then went on to tell us that he would be writing up the bartender who made us the drink and she would be disciplined.  What manager does that?!?!?  Why in the world would he tell us about his disciplinary actions towards his employees!!!????  I made sure to tell them that even though Cara may have made a mistake on the price, she was certainly a very good bartender and she should not be written up.  We then told him that we would never return to that restaurant, and he said that was fine and walked away.  I was astonished that a MANAGER at a restaurant of that caliber would talk to us that way, give us his disciplinary action details and not adjust the price of their Martinis to a price that we had already been paying and argued with us over $6.  Our argument was based solely on principle....when you charge a customer one price for something and then less than one hour later charge them more for the same item, THAT IS WRONG and he could not and would not see that or change it.  What if the difference had been more than $6??  What if it had been food?  I just can't see how you can run a restaurant that way and we were certainly NOT looking for freebies or handouts....we were just looking for a manager to DO WHAT WAS RIGHT!!!  \nWe asked our waiter, Luis for any other managers names so that we could make a complaint later and he gave us a couple of other names and we paid our bill and were about to leave.  \nAs we were about to leave, the General Manager, Moises came over and asked what the problem was.  We explained again and he understood and offered us a drink at the bar since we had already paid our bill.  While we were explaining the situation to Moises, the people dining next to us were frustrated too and spoke up....so at that point, I think Javier's had two tables of four people that were not happy at all.  We had to be at the show in 15 minutes and could not accept his offer for a drink, so he gave us his card and said to call him before dining there again.   The problem is that I am not sure that I want to dine there again and I am not sure what he would even do to make this a better experience.   I really have a bad taste in my mouth from the manager, Guillermo and how he handled their customers.   I have NEVER seen a manager handle a situation like that before and was SUPER DISAPPOINTED (and we have all been in the industry in the past as well)!!  In my opinion, I think Guillermo needs some additional training on customer service before they allow him to deal with people in the future!!

Example: I ordered a desk and small cabinet online and was told I could pick it up in two days.  When I went to the pickup desk, it took them 15 minutes to locate my items.  The box for the smaller cabinet looked like it had been through the shredder!  The desk box looked fine.\n\nWhen I got home to assemble both pieces, I discovered that both were damaged!  I took the afternoon off from work to pickup and assemble my furniture.  I also dropped my old desk off at Goodwill on the way to get my new desk.  Since I had to return the damaged desk, I am now running my home based business from a banquet table.  Thanks Living Spaces!\n\nI completed an online survey e-mailed to me by Living Spaces letting them know my concerns.  I also completed the section requesting a customer service rep to give me a call.  Two weeks later and still no call.  I completed the survey again today.  Standby for more updates. Stay away from these guys...poor customer service.

Example: I consider myself a music enthusiast rather than a musician. However, I did used to play the bass guitar way back during high school and have been wanting pick it up again. So I came here to look for an electric bass and amp. The selection is great with low end to high end quality, new and used. The sales staff is very knowledgeable and helped me choose the right one based on my experience and of course my budget too.

Example: I have dined here a couple of times already and I was very pleased both times. They have a regular menu and a daily special menu. On my first visit I was lucky enough to show up when they had some stewed ribs on the daily special menu. Tasted just like mom's stewed ribs. Also had the Karage on the daily menu and the fried Shrimp from the regular menu. I was pleased to see Panko fried Shrimp.\n\nI would come back here just to have the Melon Soda again.

Example: Went to this food truck on a Wednesday night where some trucks make a stop in downtown.  Being a SoCal boy, Asian, and loves Asian food, I really want to love this place.  However, it just gave me reasons not to.\n\nThe service was great, as the lady was welcoming with a smile.  On the other hand, I came here for the food, and it did not live up to expectations.  For example, we had the vegetable stir fry.  I am not sure if they were going the healthy route, but to be frank, it was bland.  Of course it was fresh from the pan so it was steaming in my to go box, although every bite was exactly the same.  It had crunch, I tasted the veggies, but that was about it.  No salty flavor from the soy sauce or any spices to add to the mix.  My wife and I were very disappointed.  Although it could have gone up when we tried the Banh Mi...\n\nAnd...another disappointment.  The reason I love Banh Mis are the French baguette crunch, as you bite through the sandwhich it may be a little rough, but the spice and Asian flavors should mix in so well.  I, on the other hand, had a sandwhich which bread was soggy from the juices of the meat/veggies.  From my experience, this should be a somewhat dry sandwhich that relies on the spices and flavor from the meat/veggies to compliment the crispy baguette.  No crispy baguette, and definitely a wet Banh Mi, which I was not looking forward to.  I understand some Banh Mis may be different, but this is definitely not what I am used to from San Diego and LA.\n\nI really want to like this place, as we need more great Asian places in Phoenix, but it definitely did not live up to what I expected.  I hope to try the Pho out one day, but I have definitely experienced better.

Example: When Lindsey recommended that we go to the rusty spur, I was pretty excited. A real saloon! Maybe I can get a Sasparilla? Not exactly... But I did get hit on ruthlessly by 60 plus year old Canadians, danced a little to a sweet rendition of John Denver and had some whiskey shots with fellow yelpers.\n\nIt reminds me a bit of Nashville in that it is a honky tonk that's much smaller and much cleaner than any giant country bar you would find in Texas. The drinks are pretty strong, which I can appreciate, and the bartender was definitely surly. To be fair, we came in like a whirlwind of 25 half drunk maniacs. There is definitely some eye candy there, good tunes and who doesn't love a place with dollar bills stapled all over the walls?\n\nNot a bad spot if you are in Scottsdale. And certainly better than going to a Vegas style club IMHO.

Example: Finally had a chance to try some food here!\n\nMy boyfriend and I met up with some of my family and their friends for appetizers. They were having dinner, but we didn't have time for a full meal.\n\nHe ordered the Margherita Pizza appetizer and I had the Mushroom Ravioli appetizer. Both of these portions were big enough that it was like a full meal. His pizza was great, fresh flavors, nice crust. My ravioli was awesome! Very creamy, richly flavored, lots of leeks and mushrooms. Loved it.\n\nI was able to try a bite of the Truffled Lobster Macaroni and the Bolognese Pasta - both were phenomenal. \n\nOf course, I had to have a couple Mojitos, and they were just as good as last time! I talked to everybody who had a complete dinner here the next day and they all loved it. We will definitely dine here again in the future.

Considreing the above, classify the following: If you are a hunter, get your hunting gear ready because this is the place for you! Devil's Martini North is an excellent Puma and Cougar hunting ground. This desert watering hole attracts these two populations in full force. Watching them interact in their natural habitat can be highly interesting, to say the least.\n\nOh, and although they are in their natural habitat, these species are far from \""natural\"" themselves. It seems as though many of them have had mutations and augmentations due to a disease called \""lack of self-confidence\"". This disease has spread rampantly throughout this 40+ female population, and male hunters of all kinds come to watch.\n\nGet my point? Devil's North is worthless. It's located in a North Scottsdale strip mall (near a Safeway nonetheless), sometimes they have a cover (they should pay you to come here) and what really cracks me up is that they have valet parking... yet there is an overabundance of spots since it's in a strip mall!\n\nThe patrons here are laughable. You know those guys that wear men's shoes with a heel? They come here. And you know those 50+ women who think that they are a \""sexier\"" version of Samantha from Sex and The City? They come here too.\n\nThere are two visually disgusting occurrences that I unfortunately witnessed here - both perfectly describe the atmosphere. The first was a group of 30+ women, dressed like sleaze balls with obvious plastic surgery enhancements on display, trying to act like strippers on the dancing platform, while their 50+ husbands with orange fake tans sat on the couches nearby watching them. PUKE. The second time, it was about 8pm and the music inside was bumping. No one was on the dance floor. Well, except for two highly intoxicated 20 something girls bumping and grinding on each other while making eyes at the male hunters watching them. DOUBLE PUKE. Some patrons here are so sad that that the people watching isn't even amusing. \n\nIt's great that they have 2-4-1 drink specials but the drinks aren't anything special. I am embarrassed to admit this, but I have also eaten here as well. Don't do it. The service is average, nothing to write home about. I've waited ages for drinks/food when it's not even that packed.\n\nOh, and this place is so \""classy\"" that you are not allowed to wear a baseball hat inside. Riiiiiight. Yet cougars dressed as whores are allowed to run rampant through this place? Methinks not. Pass on Devil's Martini North. Save yourself from visual torture (unless you are a hunter).
