Salary of a Starbucks Barista/Cashier

I understand that you are using the prepaid service, but you still have to pay for it, right?

Most employers are looking for someone reliable who intends to stay for a while. It technically costs them money to hire and train a new employee, so they want to do that as little as possible.

Yes, but not monthly. I can refill whenever I get money so I don't need to pay a bill. (I already have enough money to pay for a good amount of minutes)

And I might stay longer. I really don't know how it will go considering I've never worked at a steady income job before. If I am able to keep up my grades with the job, I will stay.
 
see going to work for a place just for quick cash is a very bad idea. It looks bad and even if you dont put it on your application when you apply elsewhere employer can still find out.

Find a job some where and just work over the weekend 10-15 hours a week and keep it. It gives you a slow steady income and doesnt take to much time out of your life.

Also quiting after a few weaks is a good way to make sure you are NEVER hired by that company again and could easily be what ever other company goes with the same pay role company. They do store those records for years to come if not forever. Now if you stay their for a while when you are in school you can quite on good terms and it is a great place to go back to for some holiday work or summer work during collage
 
the money becomes an addiction. you won't be able to leave once you realise you have money to buy all the things you see. clothes, games, watches, better phones, cars, skateboards. you will be sucked into the vortex. :eek:
 
Starbucks seems to pay around minimum wage here (So. Cal), maybe a little higher, depending. I hope you're not living in a state where the minimum wage is $5.15, or even a state where they have no minimum wage!

They give you A LOT of benefits though. And overall, it's a nice environment to work in.

I can't understand why people run off to places like Supermarkets, McDonalds, Starbucks etc. when they need a job at a young age. When I was 16 years old, I looked a little harder, and got my first paying job at $13.50 per hour, with a 19% income tax rate.

doing what?
 
My roommate works at Starbucks and makes $8/hr + $30-60 wk on tips.

She worked there 1 week, then quit because she got a job somewhere else, then quit that job after 2 days, and got rehired at Starbucks but had to make a 6 month commitment. There is a lot of training/learning to do, and it's a lot of work.

Consider yourself lucky you can go to school and not have to work a full time job is you don't need too.

If an employer happens to do a credit check or background check.

Although I dont believe this would really be a problem for the original poster, he is very young and its Starbucks.

Neither of those should show past employments.

EDIT: Why the hell would an employer need to do a credit check?

The quickest way to save $300 would be to lay off the Starbucks and switch to Folgers :D
 
its seems at my starbucks depending on the person, they have been working their for a day. I lost count as to how many drink i "returned" But i'm friends with the manager so its all good, he knows i'm picky

They wouldn't, and can't without your authorization.

Besides, it's not likely the OP has any credit. ;)
