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.
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.

I dressed business casual (nice slacks and top) because I wanted to show my manager I took the interview seriously. She dropped other candidates who showed up in jeans and tshirts. Again, my manager was my manager and all managers are different.
I think it took about half an hour and she mostly asked me why I wanted to work for Starbucks, my experience and how I could apply it to the job, what I thought of their communtiy service policy (my manager really loved it) and then posed a lot of scenarios to see what I thought I'd do. For instance, she'd ask, "There are two of you working. You're on register and the drip coffee needs to be changed out, tea needs to be made, there are dishes piling in the back, you are running out of cups and you have a line out the door. What do you do first? Why? What do you do next? Why? Say the third customer in line starts yelling because you're taking too long, how do you respond? Why?"
I don't know if there are right or wrong answers to this, but since I'd already worked in a coffee shop I had an idea of what order things need to be addressed in. Part of me thinks it's just a baseline to see if you can grasp the idea that while customers are really important to Starbucks, so is quality and you can't sacrifice one for the other.

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.

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.

Iced green tea latte is made with a green tea powder called matcha powder, simple syrup and milk. The iced green tea is made with green tea in tea bags, simple syrup and no milk. It's really dependent on if you want milk or not.
