What's the most unhealthy drink you can order at Starbucks?

Asked by go.sens over 12 years ago

Heavy cream, extra whip, add 20 pump classic mocha. That's one I've actually witnessed. I don't even want to know the calorie content.

Did you burn yourself all the time?

Asked by Bostonian about 13 years ago

Yes! I'm pretty clumsy, so any opportunity I had to burn myself early on... I did. Eventually I learned how to avoid it.

What are your coworkers like? Is it mostly part-timers who are students / artists just trying to make some extra cash?

Asked by Bilko101 about 13 years ago

For the majority of people I worked with, Starbucks was a full-time job. There were a couple of students and myself who were trying to make some extra cash, but it was the livelihood for over 80% of my coworkers and those at nearby stores.

I woulld love to apply at Starbucks, because my new job isn't working out very well. The problem is I'm only 15. Should I still try applying?

Asked by EthansTea almost 12 years ago

Yes, and if you read previous questions you'll see that being hired at that age is unlikely, but you won't know unless you try.

What are the requirements to be a Starbucks Barista?

Asked by Android almost 12 years ago

I'm not aware of any aside from employment laws on age. Starbucks will train you in everything you need to know, but a good attitude and customer service experience won't hurt.
