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.

Hello GreenSiren,

Are any discounts offered towards Law Enforcement Officers or military personnel with proper identification?

Thank you,
Joe

Asked by Joe about 12 years ago

I believe there was a military discount when I worked at Starbucks. I assume there still is. The best way to find out is to ask your barista!

Asked by meg householder over 10 years ago

If you are hired at Starbucks, they provide the training for free during the first two weeks of your employment.

can barista's transfer to different location if they move

Asked by DC over 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.

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 almost 11 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 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 over 10 years ago

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

How much do you make in tips per day/week at Starbucks?

Asked by NYC Dreamer almost 12 years ago

Tips are calculated by week at Starbucks and at my store turned out to be approximately $20/week. As with any job, your mileage may vary depending on store location and clientele.


For comparison, my previous coffee shop was $20/day.
