TL;DR: what’s the starting wage at Starbucks? Can I ask for more money if I think I have good qualifications?

So I’ve applied to a Starbucks walking distance to my house in Utah and I feel I’m a fairly strong candidate, I’ve had 3 jobs in the food & service industry before (they were fairly short stints as I’m a student) and I have even more experience through an advanced culinary class through my school (prostart if you’ve ever heard of it or care lol).
So my first part of my question is how much do baristas usually make starting out? I know it may differ place to place but I figured I’d start with a rough estimate on what I could be looking at. My other question is if it’d be out of place to ask for more, either just stating what I want to be making or if they ask somehow.. aha that’s probably repetitive but you get the point.
I also was wondering that if I have my servsafe manager certification, does that mean I can ask for more money? Or is it just a fancier version of a food handlers? Does anyone on this subreddit have any experience with something similar or some sage advice THATD be great lol.
This entire post may seem really entitled and like I want more money even though maybe I am too young or under qualified to ask for that, but this being my fourth job & my first job after 18, and having to help my mom with bills, I’m basically determining if I’ll have to get multiple jobs. I also just don’t want to walk in with a demand that could be seen as excessive or entitled. Any help would be GREAT.
