After working all day in a cubicle, I'd spend my nights as your friendly, neighborhood Starbucks barista! I remembered your name, made each drink exactly to your specifications and did it all with a bright smile. I've served celebrities, worked both drive thru & cafe stores, worked every holiday and have kept the customers from knowing about all the craziness that goes on behind the scenes... until now. Ask me anything.
I'd say the best was my co-workers, even on really bad days they were a great support system! I still keep in touch with the people I worked with and miss the camraderie a place like Starbucks inspires.
Worst was probably when we had really terrible customers. It's hard to be endlessly positive when customer after customer keeps berating you for things you can't control (i.e. pricing), tries to get free things out of you all the time (seriously, we ARE on to you if you're one of the people that does that) and is a generally unpleasant person to be around.

Please read the above questions. If Starbucks can hire under 16 in your state, then they might do so howerver that is entirely up to the individual store manager and many high school students have less availability than older workers.
Share Answer: 
No, that didn't happen with me, but as I've said several times before all store managers are different and will handle things differently.
Share Answer: 
Technically still 6. However, I'd say your years of experience and understanding of when a partner needs help are better than any arbitrary cup number.

Is there THAT much difference in quality between the fish served at mid-range vs high-end places?

Do you get annoyed when people use Groupons?
Starbucks typically hires people who will stick around for more than 3 months (although as I've said over and over, it depends on the individual store manager). If you really want the job, you could lie by telling them you'll be around for awhile and quit after summer, but it may get you blacklisted in the future if you ever want to work for Starbucks again.

The store that hires you, which I assume you applied to.

Either just a cup of black coffee or a tea lemonade with no sugar.
