I’ve been working at Starbucks for about a month and I can already run every position on the floor, just takes a few nights of some online studying. Study the recipes and techniques and I promise it will just click.

[@Destiny-nz5yg]

Can you share some tips?? I just had my second day of training and I was introduced to the register after the online barista learning but I’m already having trouble remembering which drinks are which.

I got a call about my application, and I’m so nervous for an interview. Idk how I’d do with the stress because I know Starbucks can get so busy, and all the different drinks.

[@d2dag5]

I love your answer!!! You study and you learn how to do your job. You don’t expect the customers to accommodate you. That is awesome. I worked there back when I was 17 and that’s exactly what I did. Studied and pretty soon I was able do any job that was needed.

[@lilik.2662]

I worked at Starbucks for about a year and a half. And when you said people who worked there would like move you out the way cause you don’t know what you’re doing when you first start IS SO TRUE! When I started people would literally be like “no you don’t know this yet” we’re putting you on oven” and I would be like WELL MAYBE I WOULD KNOW IF YALL WOULD TEACH ME AND STOP PUTTING ME AT THE DAMN OVEN BECAUSE IM FRUSTRATING YOU LIKE DAMN.

noo same i understand!! I’m a barista now and when i started they literally only had me at drive-thru window for 3-4 months and when they would place me at bar or anywhere else they would notice i didn’t really know as much and would get frustrated with me. IF YOU PUT ME HERE OFTEN MAYBE I WOULDN’T FRUSTRATE YOU! It made no sense how they expected me to know everything when i was only in one position my entire shift for months 🙄🙄
