Go for it. If you want a job and have the time.

I once knew someone who worked there. You get tips. Pay for him was like 9 per hour plus tips here and there.

Fair warning, if you open Starbucks you have to get there at 4 or 5 or 6 AM. (Not like Blockbuster where 9:30 AM is a cool time to arrive if you're opening)

Agreed.

But just remember that you're servicing people, and that means putting up with STUPID questions, disgruntled customers who will tell you to "hurry up and stop moving like a wet cunt," (I've heard worse) and NASTY rush-hour sessions!(Lunch time's gonna be a REAL bitch for you...) <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

Other than that, enjoy working at Starbucks! Great brownies and awesome frappaccinos! <img src="graemlins/mrt2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mr T]" />

I am sure it is the same everywhere... I worked in retail, there is no short supply of idiots in the world. I say Starbucks would be good, you can be a dick to people and it is expected... they are so fucking snooty there. Plus, it is so busy the shift will be over before you know it. And if they pay that well $9 and tips, go for it!
