A behind the scenes look at Starbucks Retail Operations

[mrtimmerz23]

And they don't mention you get paid $8. For drinks that cost $5, you'd think they would make more. I wonder where that money goes? Hrm...

[fdama]

So that is why Starbucks is so expensive - You have to get through all the salaries for these managers just for a cup of coffee.

[MrLaburnum12]

WHATS THE STRONGEST COFFEE I CAN GET AT STARBUCKS.

[canascot02]

@MrLaburnum12 Besides an espresso? ....French Roast

[Jeffbogdanof]

@AwesomeHaHaAnime type in "starbucks rant" and see for yourself....you'll get the honest opinion of an experienced Starbucks partner (employee)

[mcpogi4u]

go to starbucks store and you cannot see that smile.... you can see people looks like full of stress and no smile at all

[Pianocarneseur12]

@mcpogi4u Yup it seems very stressful to get so many drinks ready so fast imean , i make drinks at my home and even when i try i can't work really fast so imean if i was a barista i would freak so easily.

This video makes it appear as though Starbucks is a great company at which to work. But I have friends who, like some of the other people commenting, have not liked working there.

I think I'd enjoy working for Starbucks, even as a barrista, but the problem is that I have a bit of a lower back problem so I can't stay on my feet for long periods, and sitting down on the job I imagine is a no no :/

[Shukria123]

I'm a customer of Starbucks and a fan of their drinks, but I bet it's a hellish place to work. I feel sorry for their employees.

[FitnessReality]

@Shukria123 so do i, the workers are nice, i just hate how part of the hiring process in canada and america is the number rule to have a up beat personality with a smile on 24 7..

[hollyannewesley]

@Shukria123 why do you say that? I'm thinking of working at Starbucks and would love to know..

[Shukria123]

@hollyannewesley It's always busy there(lots of customers) and their employees are always working hard(for fear of losing their jobs), and the pay and benefits aren't that great. If you don't believe me, go to any Starbucks.

[hollyannewesley]

@Shukria123 HAHAHAA Oh wow now I'm having second thoughts.

[DestineeSoto]

How can i apply at starbucks online ?

[TheLiLD95]

There is no way I could like without Starbucks!

[mycromen]

My friends mom she goes to Starbucks every day

[USAFFountain]

Starbucks payed no taxes for 2010, their CEO made billions in profit.

[MrBlackMug]

Never working for them again, most evil place I know. Worked in starbucks London.

[MissTyQ1]

@MrBlackMug So agree with you, if you're lucky enough you will get cool SM and ASMs. I used to be lucky not anymore that I got a very cocky manager. They asks you to do everything and expects you deliver excellent service without considering our capability. No more fun, they only want profit, PROFIT AND PROFIT. Kudos to their marketing team who make good advertisements and excellent promotions. I feel sorry for those who actually bought their frappucino as 70% of the content is from ice cubes.

[javed86]

0:08 LOL

[SwordofSpirit1]

Starbucks is not a need. It's a want. I know how to make my own pot of coffee JUST the way I love it, pour it into a thermal mug and WHAMMO! I've just saved ten thousand dollars a year by NOT worshiping Dagon (the god that's their symbol) or partnering with another corporation that I ALSO DON'T NEED!

WOW! PEOPLE A C T U A L LY HAVE B R A I N S!

[greyskyeyes]

Geoff, manages my old district! I miss working in DT Seattle. :( Seattle area sbux in general. Working in DT Denver is'nt the same. The management teams don't have the same mentality nor do they give you the same support or leadership. They don't make you feel like you are part of a bigger picture, trying to make a difference in the world or even make someone's day a little brighter. I truly miss the people in Seattle. They made working @ sbux fun & enjoyable. Sadly, I'm looking for a new job.

[gosimonway]

I am a Taiwanese~I like work in Starbucks!!!!

and just like TarStarFilmz ~~never heard back...............

but I'll keep trying

[SoyMilk117]

Geoff, tell your stores t

[markcastlemusic]

I ATE THE DISCO

[TarStarFilmz]

I applied so many times and never heard back.

[alvinzC90]

@TarStarFilmz lol the trick is to approach the manager and introduce yourselff...

[MissIcia]

@TarStarFilmz Keep trying, and definitely go in person and ask for the manager at the location you most want to work at.

[lyoshakz]

too bad they don't mention that it takes over 10 years to become a district manager, starting as a barista. and thats if you are lucky!

[alvinzC90]

@lyoshakz yea u r absolutely right. LUCK is everything.

[freebrook]

@lyoshakz um..10 years from barista to DM sounds pretty generous, actually

[akarisame]

[cyrusaman]

@dsfdsfa47 How can you even see how she's steaming the milk? Her body is blocking the steam wand.

[dsfdsfa47]

@cyrusaman Pause the video at 1:09. Do you see the foam quality? It isn't worth pouring into a drink. Not to mention that there is easily 30-40 oz of milk in that pitcher, which is against starbucks policy of steaming milk for one drink at a time.

[cyrusaman]

@dsfdsfa47 Also, in all fairness, that scene of the barista wasn't shot in a Seattle Metro store (partners in Seattle don't wear caps).

[8teen9632]

@dsfdsfa47 LOL i know its bad but i thought the same thing wen i watched it to much bubbles u need micro bubbles not bigo bubbles

[cstockett05]

I love this video! My passion is Starbucks!

[bmd900]
