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

What was the most gruesome trauma you witnessed while on the job?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).
You will get the hang of it. Remember the regulars and the way they like their drinks. If a customer engages you, be friendly but work hard. There is ALWAYS something to be done so make sure you are doing something, it makes your shift easier. And don't forget to smile.
