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.
As far as the way Starbucks as a corporation treats it's employees, yes, I think they do a pretty good job. It's hard to find a minimum wage job that will give you full benefits for 20 hours a week, plus the extra perks like a free lb of coffee and stock options. Also,depending on management you can have a pretty flexible schedule. Personally, my biggest gripe was that I was paid minimum wage for an inordinate amount of stress from management and customers. But I wouldn't have left for a similar position in quick serve or retail and I would still work for Starbucks again!
Yes! I'm pretty clumsy, so any opportunity I had to burn myself early on... I did. Eventually I learned how to avoid it.
Most were filming TV shows at the time... Fringe, Smallville, Criminal Minds, etc. But the most famous would be Halle Berry.

Do you let your athletes play another sport in the off-season?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.
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.
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.
