Barista
As a Starbucks Barista you're constantly taking different positions of the staffing rotation with who is doing what job in 2-4 hour increments. I feel confident in saying that every role I would be assigned was taken care of with consistent quality and attention to detail, in order to make the experience for customers and coworkers as smooth as possible.Coffee itself is a deeply complex field with different origins and roast styles. Where you buy your coffee matters as much, if not more than how it is grown in the first place or what kind of roasting is performed. The application of grounds to water ratio, the freshness of the beans and roast, all these things are very precise in timing to get the proper flavors from a well made batch of coffee. As one of the smallest locations in the country, this particular "drive-thru only" Starbucks location required a deep focus and trust in one another as 3-4 people was considered a high capacity in the workspace. Every position involved was a deep learning curve, but one I felt very capable of grasping quickly and readily.
