| I've always wanted to work there! I've never applied or anything, but I know that you have to be 18 to work there. | |

| I'd just wait until you're 18. Some places won't even accept an application until you are 18, and even if they do they will probably loose it before then. | |

| yeah sgtpepper08, my friend too. well she's 16 at the moment -- but she's doing it during the summer and by that time she'd be 17.
i want to get a job at jamba juice -- that's where all the high schoolers i know work. | |

| It depends on the store. I know the one near my high school accepts 16 year olds, but another one only accepts those who are 18. Just ask! It sounds like a fun job, but that can also depend on location. I wouldn't want the morning shift at the Starbucks on Capitol Hill, for example, or the late night shift at the one near UMD's Frat Row. | |

| A lot of places like 18+, but they don't tell you. They just take your application, smile kindly, and never contact you again/ | |

| Out here near Seattle, Starbucks is the 'dream job' of many high school and college students...so it's competitive. I applied once...they had a 'job fair' where they basically interviewed everyone...then they called back some...and then well I don't know from there.  | |

| Why is it the 'dream job'? hmm is it considered cool or something? A lot of people seem like they want to get a job there.
I wanted to get a job there too, but now I'm too lazy to work or even hand out my resumes. | |

| It doesn't matter if your 18 or not
If your in high school you can be 23 and have the same availability as a 16 year old (Ridiculous corporate policy. If you are in high school no matter how old you or what any work permit says, no later than 10 and no earlier than 7 or 8, and no shifts longer than 4 hours).
Some managers bend the rules, some totally disregard them
my stores district manager came down on my store for it apparantly so byebye hours
The job is cool I guess
but sometimes just aggravating
but I love the people I work with
but the corporate policies are whack
and was happy to find out that McD iced coffee is way better (o well!)
there are quite a few sub18 year olds that work at starbucks
so go anyways
either fill out an app and hand it to the manager and let it be stuffed into a pile of 3904320 others
or go to a hiring event (how my district does it at least)
where you will be interviewed by managers at stores that need people.
They like smart people
somehow let them know
when my manager has hired idiots, they dont last | |

| Do they discriminate against people who are 18 yet look really young?
Would a better bet be working at AMC theatre? | |
