In case you didn't know already, I've been working at the Starbucks on campus for a little over two months now. Regardless of my time at Starbucks being short, I've learned a lot already.
Drinks aren't all that hard to make once you learn the syrup rules
Latte art is actually extremely difficult
It takes too much time to make when you're rushing.
Working the oven is the worst role possible
I strongly hate it with a passion.
Being at the register isn't all that bad
But it sucks the life out of you.
Working cold bar seems really easy to do until you have to make fraps
Fraps are the bane of all baristas' existences
Working hot bar is just constant milk steaming and pullisng espresso shots
Rush hours are pretty stressful and the cups really stack up super fast
But it's okay once you get used to the rhythm of it.
Ice is heaver than you think
And so are milk jugs.
Your assistant managers are your friends, your supervisors are not
If you're looking to get a job at Starbucks just keep these things in mind. Just mild advice from one Starbucks worker to my future green beans :)
