I used to work at Starbucks Coffee Company. Everyone knows at least one person who at some point in their life (most likely in high school or college) has worked at Starbucks. I was pondering this and thinking about my current job working in the safety training industry, and how, if at all, they related to one another.
Working for Starbucks was actually a great experience. Not only do they treat their employees well and offer benefits for part-time employment, but they train new employees very thoroughly. Although that first time being thrown into the insanity of working on bar was an intensely adrenaline-filled experience, I learned the many different ways of saying "I'm sorry" and "I'm new, I just started" (translation: I know you need you're caffeine, please don't kill me).
As for the safety aspects of the job, know that every morning, the packaged food and pastries are freshly delivered and checked throughout the day for freshness; anything that looks debatable is tossed. The thermometers (in the fridges and open fridge displays) are also checked multiple times throughout the day to make sure they are cold enough.
As I still visit my old Starbucks stomping ground, I find it less being for the coffee (although convenient and extremely tasty) and more for the atmosphere. I often set up my "home office" there and work, as I enjoy people watching at Starbucks while I'm working.
