I have only been with Starbucks for a little over a year, but I can tell you a bit!

I feel like it is different for everyone, I dislike the Honey Citrus Mint and tea lattes, opening teabags and fighting to get them out with tongs is just rough. Lots of people at my store hate cappuccinos, but they are my favorite.

In the beginning you will probably focus more on customer support and practice on bar when it is slower, assuming there are more experienced partners there. It can be overwhelming in the beginning, just know that you aren't expected to know everything in a month. Ask for a cheat sheet if they have it. My boss gave me a set of printed index cards with the standard shots and pumps by size and hot or iced, super helpful.

The basic drinks that you will go over are your easiest and most ordered, I believe they are Latte, Americano, Flat White, Cappuccino, and Mocha.

This all depends on if you are DT or Cafe, your location and your manager. Good luck! Hope this helps.
