Where do you work? I work at Starbucks at Barcroft Plaza. What do you do? I am a barista, so I'm at the register taking orders from customers and at the bar making drinks. How long have you been working there? About 1 and a half months Do you get any benefits or discounts? I get free drinks and food, plus 10% off all other items. How do you balance school and work? It's hard to balance, but I try to work weekends and only Friday's so I have time for homework. Pros about working there: I acquire really good skills from being a barista and I get discount on Starbucks items. They also pay good. I usually meet the nicest people and have converstations with them, which makes my shift go by smoother. Cons about working there: Dealing with ridiculous people is not fun. The job also requires a lot of physical strength. Also when someone rudely approaches you and demands you to make a new drink.
