Take it from somebody that used to have a Starbucks employee living with him. (Mind you, things may have changed!)..
Starbucks employees were given (at the time) a half pound of coffee (their choice!) per week for home use. In addition, they got limited numbers of cups of free coffee/drinks per day, as well. They also got a discount (20% plus) off of retail products (CDs, books, cups, and other stuff you see in the store). and they got REALLY heft discounts (I think at least half off) of other store carried products (more coffee/drinks, coffee beans/grounds, food products). Mind you, again, this was many years ago and they were in store level management. Working for a retailer does have some advantages. But again, this may only be a temp gig and, as a contractor, you may not be getting the typical Starbucks perks.
