So I applied at my local Starbucks in Tampa Bay Area and I had to keep calling the store manager (he straight up admitted he was bad at communication) was finally able to catch him and setup and interview. Had an hour almost 2 long interview and got hired on the spot!! But apparently the barista position at the store had expired so anytime he tried to find my application he couldn’t, luckily he figured it out and I already submitted the stuff for my background check!

So what my post is really about: What are some tips and tricks from the barista’s of Reddit that will help a newbie out! (Mind you this is my first food service job but not my first customer service job)

TLDR; I got hired on the spot at an interview and I’m looking for tips and tricks from the barista’s of Reddit. I have plenty of customer service exp but no food service exp.
