Are the baristas higher than the cashiers? If you are a rookie, where do you usually start? Please give a chain of command at a normal Starbucks. I wish to work there and would like to know what I'm in for... What is the order of advancement?

The baristas ARE the cashiers most of the time, but those in leadership positions can also run the register. The opening position is barista. Starbucks is big on advancement so you can become manager, learning coach, etc after a while of working there.

I've found that calling the place instead of waiting on them to call you back is very helpful.  You can call and ask about the status of your application or call and speak to a manager and ask tell them that you've filled out an application and are very interested in pursuing that job.  I work two jobs at the mall...both places I filled out an application, and then called about 3 days later to check the status.  When I called, (showing my interest in the job), both asked me if I would like to come in for an interview.  Also, make sure that when you go to fill out applications, you're dressed like you were going to an interview.  Don't pick up an application in jeans, go dressed nicely and always ask to speak to a manager.  That way, you can speak directly to the person in charge.  Ask when they will be working again, so you can turn your application in directly to them.  Hope this helps!

Personally I cannot imagine giving a tip to you simply because you served me coffee.  It makes no sense.\n\nHowever, I can see that if you bust your butt and hurry with my coffee, if it looks like you're really working and you're not an idiot who forgets my name or spells it wrong ("Tim" is not spelled with a P), if you SMILE, acts FRIENDLY, and gets my drink RIGHT, I'll probably actually tip if I'm a regular.  Especially if you sneek in an extra shot, or do something a little special every once in a while.  Definitely give you my change.\n\nAnd since on principle I do not tip baristas, if you can get my money your tips should skyrocket.

YES!!! Being a coffee fanatic, that's what i'm lacking in life. If you don't expedite Starbucks will beat you to it, and i'll have to drive there! Good Luck!\n\nPS - I haven't seen one Starbucks Drive-Thru here in MA.

I jumped right into bartending. I loved it!! I had the protection of the bar with a handy baseball bat on my side and a couple abnormally large bouncers on the other. I was the boss. If someone got lippy with me I just ignored them until their attitude changed. Being a cocktail waitress (did that too) was awful. I cannot tell you how many times people would grab me or how many times I got caught in the middle of a fight just because I happened to be at the right place at the wrong time. A good bartender will pace people by watching what they drink and not filling them up too quickly. You sell more this way and everyone has a better time. If folks are out to just get trashed then you can count on having trouble later. \nI can say though, I have bartend for 18 years and owned four bars that I tended. I have had a blast! There is no better job. You get paid to have a good time. What can be better than that?

I just read an article in the Tradewinds magazine about how Asian women, from former CEO's to housewives, were the biggest money earners in our international company. The next trillion dollar industry is the health/wellness industry. So you would want to get with a firmly established, debt free company that is doing business in over 70 countries, has over 40 physical offices, 7 cafes, ranked the 4th fastest growing company of any kind in its first 6 years, and has an unduplicatble product being called the next coca-cola, allow them to take the financial risks and you get the rewards by payouts of 53 cents on every dollar. That's what I did and the income with no experience has surpassed my professional income with a master's. I know you are a single mother like I am, and this was definately the right company, with the right product, and it came into my life at the right time. With your comedic and outgoing personality, you may want to take a serious look at this company (www.TNI.com/1934177) and (www.TNCafe.com). Good luck to you. While you're researching, you can listen to a toll free, pre-recorded msg about our company at 800-242-0363, pin 4055. Contact me if you want more information.

Hi - no, in short it means you cannot own a store.  \n\nStarbucks locations are corporate owned.  That means that each and every manager, employee in your local Starbucks is a Starbucks corporate employee.  I believe Subway is a franchise, which means you purchase the rights to open up your own Subway store, hire your own employees, etc., but you must run the business according to a huge list of rules and requirements (such as having the same menu, sign, etc).\n\nIf you are interested in investing in this way, you want to find a chain that does franchising (or just open up your own business).\n\ngood luck,\n--Jeff, Beaverton OR \nHigh Tech manager and small business owner

I have been a cashier in a supermarket, a clothing store, and at a coffee shop. By far the most evil of customers tends to be at the supermarkets. \nI will say that people tend to be impatient (especially here in the Northeast), and they do not understand the problems that can occur while making a transaction. However, since cashiering tends to be minimum wage, the quality of employees are hires are worthless, and sometimes they deserve to get yelled at.\nI recently starting working at a coffee shop again, and a customer yelled at one of my co-workers, stating for her to "hurry the fuck up, I'm late for work". Like it was our fault for her being late.

SOOO Happy It's Thursday.  Welcome new members.  Will send out membership cards as soon as I design a logo.  Bunstihl, I'd like you to be a charter member and serve on the board - ready to put that on your resume?\n\nBunstihl - you can be anything you want to be.  I was thinking...on the letterhead, should we spell out the club name or just put the acronym?

I don't know how much this answer will help you, but since no one else has answered yet, I thought I'd share what I know.  First of all, I am no longer a member of Melaleuca (because our budget is very tight, and we couldn't afford the required monthly purchases), but I wish I could re-join -- I loved all of their products!  Second, I never signed anybody up (I never really tried); but the person who signed me up placed another customer (whom she had signed up) "under me"(whatever that means) -- and I got between $2 and $3 a month depending on how much that person ordered.  I know that's not much, but considering I did nothing, a couple dollars isn't bad!  Third, my "recruiter" shared with me that she had been in the company for a little less than 2 years, only worked it part-time, and hoped to be making enough to quit her other job in another year or two.  I'm sorry I can't give you any more specifics as far as "x" number of recruits = "x"  amount of $...I still have my Melaleuca info somewhere, but it is all packed away...Hopefully, someone who's still in the company can give you more specific info.

The place is very crucial, for FMCG products. In what state you are going to set-up, your establishment? Further, what are the products you are interested in. If you start with one, the other companies having similar products will follow. If you write to me in detail, I can advise you.

Good Morning\nWould you like a free hot cup of coffee?\nIf he says yes then you give him the cup and ask him\nDo you have a cell phone?\nIf he says no then you show him one and ask him\nDo you want one for $9.99? (I don't know the price)\nIf he says yes then you have just sold a phone\nRepeat again\nInvest in a few disposable glasses and bring your coffee machine to you office.\nKeep records of how many cells are you selling before and after this new sales pitch. If it works then ask your boss to start paying you for the glasses and for the coffee.

I would offer them some coffee, tea or soda as peace making gesture.Of course you will want to spike it with ex lax or lobelia, either one will keep them occupied and out of the office enough, that you won't have to put up with their crap.An added plus is you will shine as the employee who is always there getting the job done.
