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.
I think for Starbucks you are overthinking it. Really most Starbucks locations hire for fit and availability, and I doubt they'd reject you over asking about benefits.

It depends on what you consider hard. Yes, you will have to work really hard most of the time--making drinks, taking orders, cleaning, prepping, etc. There is a lot of work. But I think it's fun, your coworkers are probably great and you get to make people happy.
Don't stress too much! It might be hard work but I found it really rewarding.

No. I could have cared less if a teenager wanted to Instagram her misspelled name.

That depends on your states' job laws. I think most states require a worker to be age 15 or 16 at the youngest.

As I said before, all store managers are different. Glad you following up worked out for you.

If you are a barista, likely what the average starting wage at Starbucks is, which (as I have mentioned before) is dependent on your state and experience.
Also as previously mentioned, my starting wage in 2011 was 15 cents over the federal minimum wage (so $7.40).

Doesn't affect me near as much as it used to. At my old coffee shop I'd drink about 16 espresso shots in an 8 hour shift, at Starbucks I'd limit it to 2 or 3 shots in a 6 hour shift... I also worked at night and it really screwed with my sleep if I drank more than that.
