If I'm 15 and turning 16 in a month would I be allowed to apply to Starbucks part time now and is working the weekend enough for part time or do they require more than that for hiring and how long is the training program. Thanks so much

Is it possible that a new starbucks emploee gets fired because she turns out to be shy and not able for small talks with customers? (although friendly and helpful)

Asked by koulouri over 11 years ago

I guess it's possible, but it doesn't seem likely that the employee would be hired in the first place.

where did u apply the barista training course?

Asked by ally almost 12 years ago

I'm not sure I entirely understand the question, but I was trained at my first coffee shop as well as at Starbucks once I was hired. I have never taken a course.

For a Tall Americano (2 shots), is the espresso shot a true double shot (double volume of grind) or is it a lungo (same volume of grind as single shot, with double volume of water)?

Asked by Bubbob over 11 years ago

A tall Americano gets two shots. The espresso machines that my Starbucks had (it has since been upgraded and I can't speak to the new machine) pulls two shots every time. Those two shots go into your Americano. If you only have one shot in a drink, the cup is positioned so that it only captures one of the shots and the other drains out.

Do you think it's bad to consider Starbucks just another retail position if one is in need of a job? Should an applicant be genuinely interested in it, i.e they should be a big Starbucks fan, want to know more about the company?

Asked by Emily almost 12 years ago

Depends on the individual store manager. I personally wasn't a huge Starbucks fan when I went in, but I had worked in the service industry and specifically other coffee shops and that won out. I definitely drank the green koolaid though and am a huge fan of the company now.

Asked by Ana over 11 years ago

Almost every Starbucks has you apply online. Your paper resume will just gather dust in the back office.
