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, that is true! As long as you hit 240 hours per quarter (about 20 hours/week) then you qualify.

Theoretically, they should be touched up every 10-15 mins. But we deep cleaned them at least twice a day (or more if they get really nasty). And yes, baristas are responsible for the upkeep.

Well... for starters you can think about the reasons YOU want to work for Starbucks. It's a personal question and there is no right answer. I think mine was along the lines combining my love of coffee and what Starbucks the corporation stood for. Do some research if you don't know.

Does your boss ever have you lie on his behalf?
Heavy cream, extra whip, add 20 pump classic mocha. That's one I've actually witnessed. I don't even want to know the calorie content.

All Starbucks partners (employees) start out as baristas unless you have extensive prior experience which a 16 year old is unlikely to have.
A 16 year old would probably be paid slightly above (like .35) the state or federal minimum wage wherever that person lived. This can be increased at performance review time.
Customer experience can be gained many ways, I recommend Google. It can be jobs, either paid or volunteer, as well as any community experience you may have.
As for advice, there are suggestions further up in this thread. It will depend on what the store manager of the particular store you are looking for wants. My manager interviewed people based off availability, not anything particularly outstanding in their application. The interview depends as well.

Yes! I'm pretty clumsy, so any opportunity I had to burn myself early on... I did. Eventually I learned how to avoid it.
