The program involves each employee receiving a Premium Spotify membership as well. The program will start with over 150,000 United States Starbucks employees this fall and will then be passed on to Starbuck customers as well. The deal with give Starbucks reward members a special access to Spotify, allowing them to help influence which songs will make it on The Starbucks in store playlist. Well they don’t have to, but a new deal between Starbucks and the music site, Spotify, will allow Starbucks employees and even customers to pick the music that will play at their specific location.


Not only are barista’s tasked with making coffee, maintaining a positive attitude and keeping things running smoothly at their stores, but now they must also pick the music as well.

The job of a barista at Starbucks just got a little more intense.
