Salaries are lousy. Minimum wage, unless you happen to stick with the job for years and become a manager. Walking out with tips in your pocket is the best part about the financial aspect of being a barista. A nice night is leaving with $20 in my pocket. It buys the next day's food for my household, or some gas for my car.

Interested in becoming a part of Starbuck world, since there are 4 locations in my area built within the last 3 years that's quite impressive. Staying loyal to a company usually pays off. thank you for this information.

if your part of the culinary they pay well apprx 10-14 dollars and hour. + no bs with the managers stealing your tips because your part of the culinary which they protect you if anything happens such as harrassment and so fort. so being a barista its an easy job..... my tips are around 20 to 70 dollars a day.
