They actually changed how training goes so people aren’t having to sit and do online training for 3 days straight! We actually do trainings now that match up with each task they learn!! So they start out with training and then we get to practice! I have found it has helped new baristas!
Interesting and so good to know!! Thank you for sharing the updated training process❤
That's awesome.
IDK if this is Stefania's experience at all, but when I was a barista trainer, they'd kind of try to force me to help my partners do something on the floor even though they were technically supposed to be on the computer for 3 days straight. So I kind of made everything sort of fun by making the partners play on the register day one (By which I mean I'd say a drink with modifications or order coffee beans, etc and they would have to look up where in the register to find these things). I figured since they needed the experience anyway, I'd just kind of make their experience fun and a bit silly while taking the job seriously enough. I guess it's similar or same as what is done with how training is changed now, but you would know more than me: I left towards the end of 2020.
@@ritadere2287 This is how my first trainer trained me too! :) Alleviated some of the pressure for sure, and made me quick with the register lol
Do they hire everyone that apply?
i’m about to start training and i’m so nervous why does making coffee seem so complex lol
it feels sooo intimidating at first but i promise you it’s SO simple once you understand it :)
how was training ,?? i have mine soon
@@brianagonzalez5802 i work for a starbucks inside of target and it’s amazing tbh!!! i only know how to make a few drinks and still don’t know the complete difference and steps to each type of coffee and since it’s summer time most people order the cold drinks or coffees that are iced but my trainers are so good they aren’t letting me get too confused or overwhelmed. i helped close and everything i’m just still working on using the milk steamer and which drinks need blended and which ones don’t but this job is so much fun i hope i can become a good barista make it to the holiday season to wear the red apron and holiday drinks!! even if i need help with making drinks the customers usually don’t make fun of me or become rude but sometimes u can get the weird smirks from people
@@StefaniaMarzelia i love this job it could be because my trainers are so good but i’m motivated to learn about all the types of coffee and exactly how to make them. i think at first this job can seem overwhelming but once u get the hang of it, it becomes one of the most fun jobs ever. i still don’t know a lot of drinks and what the difference of each type of coffee is or even how many drinks are on the menu but i know the pink drinks and açaí refreshers and lemonades and only some of the actual coffee based ones. it’s tough but i love starbucks and my team!!
@@blxkeethank you… i wanna apply but people say they become exhausted just from one shift and it kinda scares me 😅 i’ve worked at tim’s before but starbucks just seems even worse because of their drinks
I just had my interview today these are the questions that were asked
1. So why starbucks?
2. Why did i leave my last job? (I heard from someone else say dont say anything bad about your last job and i didnt know true that was so i answered carefully. I worked at fedex so i had every right to say thay it was ass but i stll did it politely by saying "i left because i didnt feel valued as a worker")
3. Gave 2 questions pertaining to teamwork and how i helped out in whatever situation
4. How to handle a customer complaint
Then he asked if i had any questions
My questions were about the dress code which i think is a good question to ask even if you already understand it and then i asked if wearing my beanie was ok (its a black one with an alien emoji on it) he said hes pretty relaxed about it and said if his boss ever walked in he would give us a heads up so hes like a total lookout and pretty cool since he hired somone with 6 piercings on their face(he would tell that person to put a mask on while his boss is around)
And that was my interview, he said he'll let me know if hes gonna move forward with me and if not he'll send my application to the other starbucks i applied to and give a good word to them. Which is pretty awesome!
I'll let yall know what happens
Hey, how's the job going so far? I'm thinking about applying.
Did you get the job?
what happened?
You definitely didn't update us. And that manager doesn't sound like a good manager tbh.... breaking all those rules.
applied for 3 different starbucks 2 weeks ago, found out that a ton of people quit so i am hoping i get hired (i'm 16 and broke)
i used to work at chick-fil-a and loved making drinks there absolutely HATED everything else. i definitely consider starbucks as a stepping stone to go work at a higher-quality local coffee shop, or possibly open one on my own in the future. until then, i'll just make some subpar coffees and deal with unhappy customers 😍
SAME! I hated the CFA I worked at but when they put me on desserts or drinks I was the happiest employee! I have an interview at Starbucks tomorrow!!
this is my first job ever, i applied for a barista position yesterday and got an email asking for confirmation on an interview date today!! i’m so excited.
i’m just a little nervous with it being my first job but i’m gonna try my best to keep up. thanks for the tips!
dude same but 2nd job, lmk how it goes
My interview is tomorrow what did they ask 😟also my first job
@@hairycheet0s863update ?
@@hairycheet0s863stoppp mines tmr how did it goooo
Can we get an update on how it went
Just wanted to say thank you for all the advice 🙏 , I got hired and started my training yesterday, I've worked at many jobs, and by far Starbucks interview was one of the best ones I've ever had, The orientation was very fun and informative. Have fun in the interview, and be yourselves. best of all for everyone.
how do you like it?
@@heathererwin7572 nvm, It's ass, I'm about to quit
@@linoalexanderpineda8350real shit I can’t do this but I need a car 💀
ooo u have really good energy & i like how this video is straight to the point 😭
thank you!!! happy you enjoyed it 🥹💕
thank you so much for this !! 💞 I'm hearing back from the Starbucks i applied at today, hope it goes well 🤞🏼
I’m 16 and planning to apply here :) im excited !! It will be my first job ever!!

I finally landed an interview (thanks to your other video) and it's TODAYYYY. so I am currently getting ready for it and scrolling through SB interview videos and I come across A NEW video of yours...hahaha
So thankful for ur videos... it really helped NAG the SB locations to let them interview me!!
that makes me so happy these videos helped!! :) Good luck on your interview!
@@StefaniaMarzelia Got hired on the spot. Thanks again!
@@baksbaks8 YAYYY!! Congrats! 🥳
Here because I applied, got the interview then got the job & now I start next week, so im watching abunch of videos about Starbucks because I’m nervous 😅
Gosh, your videos on the whole process of working and then leaving Starbucks in general has made me wonder why I haven't posted content of my own about my experience. Maybe I need to get on that soon.
Probably said this before (memory go brrrrrr), but the biggest accomplishment I gained from working at Starbucks.....was getting my Bachelors in Technical Writing/Copywriting with ASU online and then yeeting off into the sunset, lol. Did I get my job in copywriting immediately? NOPE! But I got to petsit for two years until then, and puppies (and cats) solve most problems! ...Also goddamn it. Your opening made me wanna fish another cup of cold brew out of my fridge, lol.
YESSS! 👏 Good for you!!! Also another cup of cold brew is always allowed when watching coffee related videos 😂
Thank you for your video .I am happy I've take learnings and happy to watch your video I will start next week 😊
Thank u so much for this video its pushed me to actually apply!
liked your energy and explanations, thanks for the useful tips.
ha ha !!! Well damn cant wait to start ig lol i appreciate your transperancy fr ... ill keep you posted with the experience .
I have an interview tomorrow and I'm a little nervous. it was such a struggle finding a Starbucks that were hiring. I have heard from a few people that they hear good things from people that work there. I really hope I get the job!
Love you for this, I have an interview tomorrow at starbucks, and just been studying how to get better with my interviews at jobs.
Wish me luck TwT
Good luck!!! You’re gonna crush it!
@@StefaniaMarzelia hey how's it going, so like I didn't get the job for starbucks 😭😭 but like I got so much better with my interviews thanks to you. I got better with my speaking, and selling good traits. I somehow managed to get a job at Dunkin donuts as a baker. Thank you anyways!!
@@deathamoree8688 I’m so happy for you!! Everything is a growth moment :)
I ADORE the Dawn FM reference, that was brilliant
I’m so glad someone appreciated that 😂😂
I actually hate coffee drinks, but i owned a restaurant for 10 years and i made coffee and other coffee drinks that everyone loved, and my employees like my coffee too so before we open i make them a giant thermal carafe of coffee. lol I want to open like a teahouse, coffeehouse kinda laid back thing with sofas and TVs and freshly made pastries because i also like baking, so before doing that i would like to work at starbucks to expand my knowledge on coffee drinks.
I applied a week ago at my local Starbucks and now I’m just waiting for an interview!! I have a barista who knows me just because I go almost everyday so she’s telling the manager to hire me and I have another friend there telling the manager to hire me so fingers crossed!! I also have over a years worth of barista experience but I need to leave the coffee shop I’m currently at for so so many reasons.
I got the job!!! After three weeks I finally made the courage to go and meet her in person and she scheduled a phone “interview” for two days later but that interview was just her telling me everything about the job and asking when I can come in to start working!!! So I start the 27th!!!
@@Ash_W04 congrats!!! I have an interview tomorrow
@@SaraOrozco04 Good luck!!!! We’re in this together lol
How has it been?
@@arianapadilla9351 It’s been good!! I love almost all my coworkers and the job itself is pretty easy even though we’re the busiest store in the district apparently. I did cry once because one of the shift leads is extremely mean (she’s also brand new to it so she’s on a power trip). She just takes the job way too seriously and shouts at other baristas when they make little mistakes. Luckily she hasn’t shouted at me but like I would just be walking past her and she’s scoff or tell me to get out of the way and stuff. She was talked to about it from management though because she yelled at a new girl and said “I don’t care if they’re brand new. They need to know how I am”. It just sucks bc all of management loves her so they won’t actually punish her
2:42 "please answer honestly"
3:09 "Make some shit up"
LOL always answer honestly…. but if you gotta fake it til you make it, then make it believable 😎
Only the fool laughs off how idiotic they sound...
Proof☝️
Submitted my application today.
Need a job badly and something that could put me through technical school, I know what I'll say "I like the comradery of Starbucks' culture", and as for coffee making experience, well I use a K-Cup Brewer at home with a built in foamer. I'm not planning on staying at Starbucks for too long
I have my Starbucks interview today!! Ahhh I can’t wait
I have an interview with Starbucks next Saturday! How did your Starbucks interview go ???
@@lyssarojas6239 wooo!! It went amazing!! I work there now lol. It’s been a little over a months since I’ve been officially a barista
@@lyssarojas6239 sorry I should have been more specific lol. They ask you a lot of questions that make you almost tell a story. Not like yes or no but like “tell me a time where you reached a goal” “or tell me a time you were able to make other people happy” that kind of stuff
loved this! How long should I wait to contact the store after I put my application in regarding an interview?
At least 24 hours! Your application doesn’t show up in the system til then usually
Your window time starts at the window? When I worked at Dunkin, it starts when they pull up to the speaker. So they sit there deciding what they want because the speaker is at the menu and they say, it's ok there's no one behind me. Yeah, but you're still jacking up my time. Then they get their stuff and sit at the window talking or on their phone. One woman was putting peanut butter on her bagel until the manager told her to pull into a parking spot becuse of the timer.
My availability is early morning, so would training happen during that time, or would they try and get to to come in at a time that’s not peak?
I gave interview on Wednesday and the manager said she will let me know on monday but I didn’t heard back.what should i do now? Please guide .my interview went well.she asked about my availability too.
I love the chamberlain coffee cup
I'm trying to get a job a Starbucks and I'm waiting to hear back from them, regarding the interview should I let them know I'm enrolled in college but it'll take me a few years to graduate, or don't bring it up unless they mention it?
I just applied I hope I get accepted 😊
i submitted my application today
i got hired on the spottt😩
I have an interview today and I don’t know what to expect exactly . Wish me luck!y’all
Omg I hope it went well! How did it go I’m so nervous I have an interview tomorrow. 😭😅
Im 16 and work as a hostess at Olive Garden, do you think working at starbucks as a second job is a good idea ?
how was the interview process and stuff?
Oh my gosh my name is Stefania too!! I thought i was the only one with that name 😂
Ya'lls, I'm scared and nervous. Like, I want to work at starbucks but I'm scared (not about the interview and stuff) but like on how to make drinks, talking to customers, and forgetting how to do it.
How did it go?, did you continue with it?
@himikotoga978 nah fr 😭
Girl boss 👏💕
🥹💕 !
Does anyone know what their work hours are like? Like shift schedules?
It ok to work there if i dont want to drink coffee? I just need a job :(
Ok I recently have gotten hired at Starbucks and haven’t worked my first shift yet - I’m nervous because I was told the first two weeks of starting are going to be the toughest just having to memorize recipes and training takes about 5 hours including watching videos and learning the logistics of the register blah blah blah. I’ll update this comment if anyone is interested and let anyone curious about the first day and what to expect!
Is there any update ? ((:
Is there any update ? ((:
So what do i do if im 22 and have never had coffee before.... and dont want to try it 😅
They make u try the coffee so ur able to explain the taste to the guests but I started drinking coffee after I started even though I didn’t really (and still don’t really) like it
I was thinking of working at Starbucks has a second job 😢
So not free Spotify? What if I don't want them to take it out of my check?
Anyway, I have an interview coming up and I've been researching. Fingers crossed. I loved your video! Very dramatic XD
I believe you can opt out of Spotify :)
@@StefaniaMarzelia I got offered the job! Thank you for posting this video. Start next Tuesday for orientation.
Oh good. I'll ask about it. If I'm unable to not too bad I guess. Still though I hope I can opt out.
@@Random_Fanaticgood job! I have an interview tomorrow, my 2nd time. Both job fairs. Probably not gonna get hired but I’m still gonna try.
@@marstorre3447 Hey, man. It's okay keep trying! Before Starbucks called me I was rejected by 4 or 5 different jobs. And I keep getting rejection emails cause I applied to over 15 different jobs.
I put my applycation 3 days ago but they dont call me :C should i call them? Or i Will wait more? You video are awesome!!
i would say to give them a call!! it’s hard sometimes having so many applications put in, so give them a call and give them your name so they can check into your application!
@@paytondelgado5574 unfortunately I couldn't wait that long, even 3 weeks later I went to the local and asked for the manager, they only gave me excuses, so I'll work in another place where in 1 week I have even hours, honestly the way of starbucks is horrible for me At least the treatment they gave me was not good, but it is not the same in all places. thanks for the encouragement anyway
Im in the process of a background chexk
Is it okay to ask the customer how to spell their name?
How long does the background take ?? I haven't heard from them and it's been 2 weeks
hmmm my background check at my 2nd store actually took around 2 weeks. don’t be afraid to call and follow up with them!
They just called me yesterday I have orientation Thursday thank you 😊
How is it going? I just applied i’m so curious
@VenusianRose it's going good the first few weeks are going to be really stressful especially drive thru 😂 but yeah I'm pretty good at making most drinks once you get the hang of it it's pretty easy
Am abarista looking for an opportunity, please help
❤❤❤😊
7:31
UMMMMMM WHHHAAATTTT?
Please explain how that's free..... and then explain how we can go about NOT having it since I'm not trying to pay for Spotify.
i start training today and i’m so scareddd
Ugh i want to work at a cafe SOOO BAD 😭
"Quick learner" lost me there😢😭
I love Starbucks :) but ….im quitting… I figured out the final reason why you would wanna quit 💀.. and that’s drama..
I am a 19
I'm so worried since I had an interview on Wednesday and the said the latest they would contact me would be Monday in its Sunday 😭😭
Don’t worry my friend!! It’s not monday yet :) Follow up on tuesday if you don’t hear back! If you need help with that, come back here and we’ll chat it through 🤍
@StefaniaMarzelia well here's an update on Monday I emailed the manager who did the interview. They told me that they didn't respond because there out sick which I completely understand and would call me on Tuesday. Tuesday comes around and they did call me at all so I emailed them again on Tuesday night and said I completely understand if there out sick that they couldn't call me. Now it's Wensday and I'm waiting to see if they will answer me I just don't want to be bothered them if there out sick.
@@angeldycany updates?
@ldrslays ya there was a hiring event called the store on the day then they told me they moved it couldn't since had doctor appointment was sick all week. So ya that's all I email the person and they haven't emailed back.
@@angeldycdamn so what happened
I have been working for starbucks for years I'm now trainning to be a coffee master
Amazing!! Good luck 👏👏
@@StefaniaMarzelia thanks buddy 😊
is it hard?
Hm, that was real
Watch me get fired the next day😂
Can anyone be a Starbucks barista??? Bc I’m a guy
Yeah my store has had multiple guys we only have one rn but nobody really cares that he’s a guy or not lol
nahh cuz i work there and it’s mentally exhausting they throw customer connections down your throat too
You still work there ?
Omg yeeeesssss!!! I’ve just started about a month ago and our manager has literally written someone up because they don’t connect with customers.
Starbucks people are annoying
Just her
I just love you! You seem like an awesome coworker and friend in general 🥲🫶
You are so sweet omg 🥹 thanks for being here
