How can you work at Starbucks and not drink coffee? As a barista, I get asked that question a lot. So, to that answer, I will be sharing my Starbucks barista experience in this post. That said, read along as I share my story.
How I Became A Starbucks Barista?
In 2019, I was working at King Of Prussia Mall. At the time, I was working at a store that sold olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Along with that, I was also struggling to pay off my credit card debt. I remember feeling worried because this was my first time having a credit card.
So, to help pay off my debt, I needed to find a second job. Thankfully, because I knew some of the employees in the mall, I was able to get hired at Starbucks, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise. Since my first job closed down in response to the pandemic- so in all honesty, Starbucks saved me from becoming unemployed.
I have never been a barista in my life, but it definitely teaches you patience. Really enjoyed reading about your experience.
Thank you for sharing your experience! I am also a college student and am looking for part-time jobs – this is great to know 🙂
