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.

can barista's transfer to different location if they move

Asked by DC about 11 years ago

Yes. Talk to your store manager and the store manager in the location you plan to move. It must be approved by both.

How old do you have to be to be a barista? Any job for a 13 year old there?

Asked by Meghan about 11 years ago

Please read previous questions. This has been answered multiple times.

I've been a barista for about 2 years, I'm in high school. I've recently got a new manager, and apparently Starbucks "standard" says that highschool students even if they are over 18 can only be part-time obtaining 20 hours. I'm 19. Is this true?

Asked by Bernie over 9 years ago

Starbucks corporate would be your best bet. Call the partner line.

Hi! I am a student and I am writing a work about Quality of service and its evaluation and I choose to write about Starbucks.I wanted to ask does Starbucks carry out quality assessment and how it can be done? Thanks :)

Asked by Ieva almost 11 years ago

Yes, Starbucks uses a company named Ecosure for Quality Assurance Standards Audit. Starbucks main office could better advise you more details.

I love Green Tea Frappucino but I always find it too sweet. I asked the barista for 2 pumps of the syrup and/or 2 scoops of the matcha only to lessen the sweetness. What's the right and best way to order it? Thanks!

Asked by Vincent almost 10 years ago

Order with "no classic" to make it without any simple syrup (sugar). The matcha will have no impact on sweetness.

Does starbucks use tazo or teavana brewed teas for Shaken Iced Teas? Also, what are the specific flavors of Black and Green tea you use?

Asked by nb over 10 years ago

When I was there in 2012, we used Tazo. I am unsure of the specifics. I assume nothing has changed but you would have to ask Starbucks to confirm.

I was fired from starbucks 6 years ago when I was a teenager. For not complying with starbucks dress code policy. I was immature and I'm not the same person now I was then. Can I work again for the company if i explain my situation to a manager?

Asked by Knowthyyself over 11 years ago

It depends if you were coded as rehire eligible or not so you might want to call HR and find out. HR may also be able to give you more guidance on the likelihood of recieving a call back if you were coded as ineligible for rehire (or if you can change that).

Personally, I think it's easy to explain and some managers may give you another shot, but I don't know how Starbucks backend works and if those managers would even know you applied.
