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.

What is your personal Starbucks favorite drink?

Asked by Starbucks Lover almost 11 years ago

Either just a cup of black coffee or a tea lemonade with no sugar.

What would you say is the most popular food item and drink items sold in Starbucks?

Asked by Ashleigh over 10 years ago

In my store, it was Caramel Frappucino and Iced Lemon Pound Cake. That is highly dependent on a stores location however so I cannot speak to Starbucks as a whole.

What days of the week do you work? And how many hours? Also what would be the wages for a new barista?

Asked by Zaina over 10 years ago

It depends on your store, your state and your schedule. Personally, I worked 15-25 hours a week usually 5-6 days a week. My Starbucks was open 20 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you store is only open 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, your hours may differ.

What's the hiring process like? Like, if you've been asked to go in and observe, is there a good chance you'll get the job afterwards?

What city did you work in for Starbucks?

Asked by Abbie almost 11 years ago

It was a large city in Texas.

A barista at my Starbucks is leaving for grad school. I'd like to give her a $50 gift card as a farewell gesture. Does Starbucks have a policy against that? And if it doesn't, would such a gift be seen as somehow inappropriate anyway?

Asked by Mike McEvoy almost 10 years ago

I don't know if there is a policy against it, but in my experience, I'd say that if you were genuinely friends with the barista then why not go for it. But it'd be best to give it to her on her break or in a card so that not everyone else sees what's going on.

How much is withheld from your paycheck?

Asked by Emily almost 11 years ago

Depends on your state. The IRS witholding calculator can tell you much more accurately than I can.
