I'm an Eskimo

hey
i was thinking of getting a job at a starbucks in toronto (six points plaza) and just had a few questions

-starting pay? i heard it's 8.25?
-do you get many hours?
-is it hard to learn all the drinks/the cash?
-are the customers assholes?

i'm a cashier at a grocery store right now and really can't deal with the rude customers anymore. but i'm hoping that customers at strabucks realize that it takes a bit longer to get your coffee than going to tim hortons for example, you know what i mean?

and do they need a resume, or do they just have applications?
AND, is it hard to get a job there?

Hey everyone. I'm new to livejournal and so I thought I would say hello to all the fellow baristas. Keep bleeding green for the team!

Thanks for the link. In the sun looks interesting. I saw Justin Timberlink did a remix of the song with will.i.am.

Chris Martin of Cold Play together with Michael Stipe of R.E.M and other big names in the music industry are lending a hand as well as their voices to the victims of Hurricane Katrina. There’ a short documentary film about it done by the Sundance Channel. http://www.sundancechannel.com/int…

Green Apron Book, Coffee Master, and Customer Resistance Experiences needed!

You may have heard about a new book being written in conjunction with the company (for example, it has been discussed at Starbucks gossip)! I am the author. I am focusing the book at the Starbucks store level. Its deadline is February 1,06 and it is scheduled to be published in the fall by McGraw-Hill. (I have all the requisite permissions from Starbucks corporate for partners to participate. Please check out the following (http://www.starbucksstories.com/St…) or email me at josephm@lessonsforsuccess.com. You may also contact cgorley@starbucks.com

I am giving Starbucks gift cards and copies of the book, if your experience is included in the book.

As I approach deadline, I would appreciate your assistance. If possible would you share with me experiences you have had that:

involve the BE Knowledgeable concept. For example, where you have helped a customer learn more about coffee or wher coffee master training turned out to help a customer.
reflect a willingness to work with a customer's resistance or where you accepted criticism from a customer well

This book (working title the Starbucks Success Blend) pays tribute to the uniquely customer driven behavior of Starbucks baristas. The more you share the better I will be able to capture the incredible Starbucks experience. Respectfully, Joseph A Michelli, Ph.D. www.starbucksstories.com
