i'd like some tips for applying @ lougheed mall's starbucks please =] (ignore my typo in the title k?)

i'm 17, i volunteered for City of Burnaby for 3 years, and worked @ pne during the fair for 2 years now. what qualities do you I think should demonstrate to them?

actually, more importantly i'd like to know if now (may) is a good time to apply for the position of a barista?

i want to make sure the manager is there when I apply, r they always there? also...i don't want to line up just to hand in my resume, do u think it'll be okay if i just go to the side and ask the baristas if i can speak to the manager?

n e thing helps, thanks guys!
