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'm not sure I entirely understand the question, but I was trained at my first coffee shop as well as at Starbucks once I was hired. I have never taken a course.

Usually about two weeks.

If you are hired at Starbucks, they provide the training for free during the first two weeks of your employment.

I believe you talk to your manager and the manager of the store you wish to transfer to a minimum of six months after you begin your employment with Starbucks.

Do you think tablets are just a fad?
Depends on your store. I only worked nights and close 5-6 days a week because that is where my store needed help. Most people don't like working until 2-3 am, but I was happy to do it.

Beyond store manager there are district and regional managers that you could likely get from starting at a barista with no previous experience. That said, my belief is that having experience with Starbucks may be a plus when going to the corporate side.
I think that a person with no work experience outside of Starbucks will NOT easily make it into the corporate office. However, if you are one of the best candidates for a corporate job and you have previous Starbucks experience, that might be an advantage.
This isn't anything Starbucks has specifically said, but any worthwhile company will value staff with experience--especially at the lowest level--and Starbucks is no exception.

I believe there was a military discount when I worked at Starbucks. I assume there still is. The best way to find out is to ask your barista!
