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.
The iced green tea latte has the matcha powder, more milk and simple syrup and the frappucino adds ice and an additional syrup.
Nope, not that will significantly reduce your calories. In order to do so you will have to sacrifice something. A good place to start is a smaller cup if you want the exact same taste. Otherwise, for a minor effect cut the number of syrup pumps by 1.
Switching to sugar free won't make a difference in calories and switching to fat free milk will definitely mess with taste.
The minimum age is dependent on your states' work laws. The likelihood of a 15 or 16 year old being hired is probably pretty slim since you don't have a lot of prior work experience. Almost everyone I worked with was in university or university aged (or older).
I think individual stores can still have the cool, hip vibe. As far as Starbucks as a corporate entity, I do not know.

I applied online and the store I selected had an opening for the night shift. The more flexible you are with your time, the easier it is to get hired. And usually when a manager says they're not hiring, they really aren't hiring. We only hired three times in the year that I was at my store (including me).
As a side note, my manager really disliked when people came into the store to follow up on their applications--this is personal though depending on the store and the store manager.
It is a standard two week training that all employees are required to undergo. You will be trained on the bar and on the cash register, as well as other tasks required of a Starbucks partner in a store.
Frappucinos are the most annoying drink to make, they're time consuming with a lot of steps and waiting. But it's also part of the job... if a person doesn't want to make frappucinos they shouldn't work at Starbucks.
