It’s not worth it. Get your foot in the door as a host or waiter. You’ll make far more money and not be worked to the bone. Starbucks is pinching pennies harder than ever. Not a good company to work for.

This sub is full of disgruntled employees who do not represent the average Starbucks partner. Take anything you read here with a grain of salt. I've been with the company a decade. It certainly isn't perfect, but overall it's been a positive experience for me.

No.

Short answer? No

I'm also a grad student! And I just started working at Starbucks. It does depend on location, manager, etc but I'm finding it to be a good (and flexible) position so far.

Make sure you give them a heads up that you will be a student and always offer that you can pick up shifts as long as you're available. I told my manager that I'd be available 3 days a week regularly and weekends as long as I'm given advance notice (and not just thrown on the schedule). I was hired during the interview so just go in dressed business casual with neutral colors (look at Starbucks dress code - a simple Google search will find this) and you should be fine as long as your availability checks out.
