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

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.
Share Answer: 
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.

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

Do most meteorologists believe global warming exists?

Are those $12,000 "learn to program" bootcamps a rip-off?

What's the best way to get a bartender's attention?
No. I could have cared less if a teenager wanted to Instagram her misspelled name.

It's been almost 3 years since I left Starbucks, so your best bet is to look online at http://www.starbucks.com/careers/working-at-starbucks
However, when I was there it was health coverage over 20 hours, weekly tips, a discount on Starbucks food, drink and merchandise (mayne 20%? I don't remember exactly), a "super sale" day prior to Christmas, you could purchase Sbux stock and if you were with the company long enough, it was given to you. Also some more intangible benefits such as flexible work hours. Oh, and a free lb of coffee or box of tea every week. That was great!
Share Answer: 
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).
