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.
Yes. I would work for them again if given the opportunity.
Share Answer: 
The brewed coffee is served at about 180 degrees, while anything with steamed milk is around 150 - 170 degrees. Hot water for tea is at 200 degrees. I don't know that it's necessarily because of 'hot coffee' since every coffee shop I've worked in uses similar temperatures (including internationally).
Share Answer: 
My first job in a coffee shop really hooked me on coffee... I couldn't get enough AND I became a total snob about it, so I actually refused to go to Starbucks at all until I began working there. Now I love Starbucks! Maybe I drank the green kool-aid, but really, it's because I know what I'm getting (a consistent, well-made drink) and the corporation puts their money where their mouth is.
Share Answer: 
It's really thick and difficult to work with. It just adds a lot of extra time to making a drink, which can add up when you have a LOT of extra caramel sauce drinks.

What were your worst on-screen bloopers?
Yes, that is true! As long as you hit 240 hours per quarter (about 20 hours/week) then you qualify.
Share Answer: 
Corporate dictates the playlists but we can choose them. There are usually 10-15 at any given time with a wide variety of musical styles. They also add a new one every few weeks or so.
But no, it doesn't drive me nuts because I only noticed it when the store was really quiet... Which is almost never (perks of working in a high volume store!). The worst is around Christmas though, when you are forced to play the Christmas playlist at certain times.
Share Answer: 
Yes! I'm pretty clumsy, so any opportunity I had to burn myself early on... I did. Eventually I learned how to avoid it.
