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.

Does starbucks use tazo or teavana brewed teas for Shaken Iced Teas? Also, what are the specific flavors of Black and Green tea you use?

Asked by nb about 9 years ago

When I was there in 2012, we used Tazo. I am unsure of the specifics. I assume nothing has changed but you would have to ask Starbucks to confirm.

I would like to know about the pay. What do Baristas start at? Shift Managers, and assistant managers? I live in California.

Asked by Sam over 8 years ago

I have never lived and worked in California. Furthermore, this is HIGHLY dependent on where you live, what the minimum wage is, and other things that may come into effect. Where I lived, baristas were paid 25 cents above the federal minimum hourly wage.

what's good/not good about the POS system? trying to do some research about the info systems at starbucks!

Asked by lou over 9 years ago

It has been over three years since I last worked at Starbucks. I no longer remember the specifics of the system, if it is even the same.

I'd recommend chatting with your local baristas. If you catch them when they are not busy, many will be happy to discuss specifics of the job, depending on who you are researching for.

do you get paid training ?

Asked by breanna over 8 years ago

Yes.

I just got a job interview yesterday within 24 hours of applying online and had the job interview within the same day the manager contacted me. 2 hours after the interview, she called me to confirm my birthdate for my background check. Good sign?

Asked by Jo over 9 years ago

I would assume so.
