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 do not know.
At the time of my employment in 2011, I was making 15 cents over the federal minimum wage (so $7.40). That will change depending on experience, employement level (barista vs manager) and location.

Comfortable, closed toed (and in the case of Starbucks, black or white) ones. I wore ones that had thick soles since I was standing on concrete most of the day, but any comfortable ones should be good.

It's the standard training of two weeks (I think) to be considered a barista. Unlike in other coffee shops, all low level employees are called baristas once they complete the training.
Share Answer: 
If it's not online yet, it's probably because they're not hiring yet. In my experience, Starbucks has been really good at maintaining their online system. They really only need to hire about a month in advance of the store's opening. So keep checking!
Alternatively they may only be transferring current partners to that store, but that seems unlikely to me.

Yes, I had several coworkers over the age of 50 and knew of many others at other locations.
Share Answer: 
I think that is entirely dependant on your ability to juggle work and school. Many people find they are able to do it. I managed to work full-time in a career job as well as 20 hours a week at Starbucks.
Share Answer: 
Yes, all the time and both directions. However I only went out on a date with a customer once.
