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 think for Starbucks you are overthinking it. Really most Starbucks locations hire for fit and availability, and I doubt they'd reject you over asking about benefits.

It depends on what you consider hard. Yes, you will have to work really hard most of the time--making drinks, taking orders, cleaning, prepping, etc. There is a lot of work. But I think it's fun, your coworkers are probably great and you get to make people happy.
Don't stress too much! It might be hard work but I found it really rewarding.

That depends on your states' job laws. I think most states require a worker to be age 15 or 16 at the youngest.

As I said before, all store managers are different. Glad you following up worked out for you.

Could a nurse practitioner do the job of a primary care physician?
No. I could have cared less if a teenager wanted to Instagram her misspelled name.

It's been almost 3 years since I left Starbucks, so your best bet is to look online at http://www.starbucks.com/careers/working-at-starbucks
However, when I was there it was health coverage over 20 hours, weekly tips, a discount on Starbucks food, drink and merchandise (mayne 20%? I don't remember exactly), a "super sale" day prior to Christmas, you could purchase Sbux stock and if you were with the company long enough, it was given to you. Also some more intangible benefits such as flexible work hours. Oh, and a free lb of coffee or box of tea every week. That was great!

Doesn't affect me near as much as it used to. At my old coffee shop I'd drink about 16 espresso shots in an 8 hour shift, at Starbucks I'd limit it to 2 or 3 shots in a 6 hour shift... I also worked at night and it really screwed with my sleep if I drank more than that.
