Would anyone of you expect actually higher salary for working company like Starbucks?
Yes, they offer excellent health insurance for part-time workers who work at least 20 h/week, but I am not sure if I will work there more than 1 month, unless I worked at another location closer to my school. So benefits does not much concern me .

At $7.80/hr, after taxes, you couldn't even afford to purchase one of their beverages with an hour's pay.

If you're only going to work there for a month, then you're wasting Starbucks' time they're taking to train you. That being said, for working there only a month this is probably the best offer you're going to get. CA's minimum wage is $7.50 - that's what most of us CA people are working for. Since you live in IL your state minimum wage is probably lower than CA, and this is a pretty good offer for an entry-level job.

Actually, That is a high starting rate. Most places like starbucks start out around 7.25 or 7.50. Yes, you can't support your self on that! If you take the job, work your butt off and become a shift supervisor or manager you will make around 10.00

Having worked at Starbucks, I can tell you that the pay is decent for a coffee job. Just don't tell them you'll only be there a month, or they won't hire you. The training itself can last a month! However, once you're trained, you can transfer to any store.

That's more than they paid me. And by the way, you do WAY more than you should for that money. It's not that horrible of a place to be considering that the food is premade and you just have to worry about drinks, but why not work a restaurant for a month and make more than that in tips??

In that type of an industry, that is all you can expect. To make more in unskilled labour, you would have to look at (good) factory work.
Starbucks (and other places like that) are really just good for getting something on your resume. You should only be picky in regards to your real career.

That sounds about right for a food related job

I would not expect more. It also depends on location.
