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.

Is it possible that a new starbucks emploee gets fired because she turns out to be shy and not able for small talks with customers? (although friendly and helpful)

Asked by koulouri almost 12 years ago

I guess it's possible, but it doesn't seem likely that the employee would be hired in the first place.

I'm turning 16 soon and I'm looking for a first job. I read on the Starbucks website that you don't need any previous job experience, so I was wondering what my chances would be to get an interview?

Does the shift manager get a portion of your tip then or do you get the full tip?

Asked by Just Curious! almost 12 years ago

I'm unsure of the exact policy, but I think everyone got a percentage of the tip for overall hours worked (excluding our store manager). So if I worked 10 hours and that was only 2% of the overall hours worked in store, I got 2% of that week's tips.

The shift manager who counted the tips had to record how much cash was received over the week and then evenly split the tips by hours worked. I never felt screwed by the shift managers (who often had to stay late to do so), but rather realize that we didn't recieve a lot of tips from customers.

Hi! I am a student and I am writing a work about Quality of service and its evaluation and I choose to write about Starbucks.I wanted to ask does Starbucks carry out quality assessment and how it can be done? Thanks :)

Asked by Ieva over 11 years ago

Yes, Starbucks uses a company named Ecosure for Quality Assurance Standards Audit. Starbucks main office could better advise you more details.
