I haven't worked at either, although I did work at a grocery store as a teen. From what I see when I visit SB, its high pressure getting all the drinks made & so many picky requests.add this leave off that, I think it would be very stressful. But maybe if it's a good crew, teh work woujld go well. Try it.
I'm going to be working as an early childhood assistant at a school during the week. And I just wanted to maybe work at Starbucks on the weekend it's just to earn some cash.

I'd think Starbucks would be more stress. Very long lines and it looks busy all the time I've been in there. A grocery store usually isn't like that. Greatly depends on what work you are doing at the grocery store too. I'd look at the one with the least stress and could accommodate a school schedule. For example, you have an exam or project to prepare for, and need 2-3 days off, a grocery store might be easier to do this since they have a larger staff than a Starbucks.
Despite the constant mockery it gets, Starbucks is a high demand job for young people. Every Starbucks I go to has attractive, well spoken young people working there.
Grocery would be easier ... Starbucks more fun ... if you're young.
My stepdaughter works for Starbucks. The learning curve is pretty steep at first. She was stressed out for the first couple of months, but once she learned how to do all of the different functions in the store she was fine. Starbucks gives matching 401k dollars, has a stock purchase plan, and you qualify for health insurance after six months (IIRC).
Promoted to shift manager after about one year. I gather it can happen more quickly if one presses hard for it. I believe she's now making $16-$17/hr, and then her cut of the tip money adds about another dollar per hour. Next promotion level is assistant store manager, but she's probably 1-2 years away from that.
No idea how it compares to grocery store work, but I've been impressed with her Starbucks experience so far.

Might be helpful to have said that at first. I suggest Uber or door dash for weekends.

It's rare that people give reviews of retail type job on here, so ... thanks for that.
I'll be honest, that doesn't sound bad at all.
