I applied in-person. I interviewed at Starbucks (Tucson, AZ) in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was pretty much exactly as described online. The first interview consisted mostly of behavioral questions, so I would recommend preparing a few examples from past work or customer service experiences using the STAR method.
The second interview was very relaxed and conversational. If you make it to this stage, it’s a coffee tasting with the district manager, who asks a few additional questions and focuses more on getting to know you as a person and seeing if you’d be a good fit for the team. Overall, I found the process straightforward and not overly intimidating.

Question 1
tell me about a time you went above and beyond for a customer
Easy to get through. Just be yourself and talk about what you love about coffee. Don’t over think it and you’ll be fine. Make sure to research the company before you go to the interview

Interview process was quick and simple. The manager had a guide of questions but we also chatted a bit. It made it a comfortable conversation. She was very nice and the store was clean.
