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.

What was the length of Starbucks Barista training?

Asked by Volodymyr about 10 years ago

Usually about two weeks.

can starbucks give you part time for just at night ? or are the hours always mixed ? and if so would i be able to request my hours .. would it look bad? its because im planning on going to part time school in the morning and night time work ..

Asked by breanna almost 9 years ago

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.

I was fired from starbucks 6 years ago when I was a teenager. For not complying with starbucks dress code policy. I was immature and I'm not the same person now I was then. Can I work again for the company if i explain my situation to a manager?

Asked by Knowthyyself over 10 years ago

It depends if you were coded as rehire eligible or not so you might want to call HR and find out. HR may also be able to give you more guidance on the likelihood of recieving a call back if you were coded as ineligible for rehire (or if you can change that).

Personally, I think it's easy to explain and some managers may give you another shot, but I don't know how Starbucks backend works and if those managers would even know you applied.

How does the transferring process work? Details please. :)

Asked by Georgina almost 10 years ago

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.

how much is it to train for your job?

Asked by meg householder almost 9 years ago

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

Hello GreenSiren,

Are any discounts offered towards Law Enforcement Officers or military personnel with proper identification?

Thank you,
Joe

Asked by Joe over 10 years ago

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!

How old do you have to be to be a barista? Any job for a 13 year old there?
