Female, 26

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.

Did you burn yourself all the time?

Asked by Bostonian over 13 years ago

Yes! I'm pretty clumsy, so any opportunity I had to burn myself early on... I did. Eventually I learned how to avoid it.

What's the most unhealthy drink you can order at Starbucks?

Asked by go.sens over 13 years ago

Heavy cream, extra whip, add 20 pump classic mocha. That's one I've actually witnessed. I don't even want to know the calorie content.

I woulld love to apply at Starbucks, because my new job isn't working out very well. The problem is I'm only 15. Should I still try applying?

Asked by EthansTea over 12 years ago

Yes, and if you read previous questions you'll see that being hired at that age is unlikely, but you won't know unless you try.

What are your coworkers like? Is it mostly part-timers who are students / artists just trying to make some extra cash?

Asked by Bilko101 over 13 years ago

For the majority of people I worked with, Starbucks was a full-time job. There were a couple of students and myself who were trying to make some extra cash, but it was the livelihood for over 80% of my coworkers and those at nearby stores.

What are the requirements to be a Starbucks Barista?

Asked by Android over 12 years ago

I'm not aware of any aside from employment laws on age. Starbucks will train you in everything you need to know, but a good attitude and customer service experience won't hurt.

Do you think Starbucks has lost the cool and hip vibe that made it popular?

Asked by Stac1e over 13 years ago

I think individual stores can still have the cool, hip vibe. As far as Starbucks as a corporate entity, I do not know.
