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.
It depends on the store manager. For my store it was about 10 hours (a very senior person who had been with the company 20 years) but my guess is that most managers were prefer to invest their time and money in someone who is available around 15-20 hours.

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).
Share Answer: 
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.
