I think I might want to work at starbucks... ok, not really. But if I had to get a part time job I wouldn't throw it out as an option. Why? The starbucks in town has done very well and so the corporate coffee giant wants to expand. The result is that they have been conducting interviews. This often happens in the same area that I work in. Again you might be asking yourself how someone so hip and edgey could succumb to working at someplace so unpunk. The answer is that I get free internet there (thank you Penn State) and they have a parking lot which is worth its weight in gold in State College. Why State College has been more of a pain to park in than any other place is beyond me but it is the total truth. Also, I am addicted to Cafe Amercanos but that is another story for another day. Anyway, back to my future employment.

They have a really strong speell (spelling?) about being a partner and how working for starbucks, you are listened to at the highest level of the company. They also make sure to mention that you need to be passionate about their product and the successfull transmission of the starbucks brand. I really can't say why it appeals to me but on some level I believe the fluff. Let me be clear, I don't plan on filling out an application anytime soon but rather I would like to point out that it appears to be a pretty reasonable place to work if you are looking for a part time job. Of course, I could be wrong. You never know, maybe next semester I will take a break from computers to delve into the mysteries of being a barista.
