I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks in May 2015
Interview
Interview process was pretty straight forward. I explained alot about my previous job experience and why it would make me a great candidate for this position. They asked situational based questions so that it was more of "what would you do" or "how/where have you done" instead of "can you do"
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
If you could sell me one item that bring you joy, what would it be and why would I need it?
I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks in May 2026

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Starbucks (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2026
Interview
Two district sanagers interviewing over Microsoft Teams. Extensive, heavy "STAR" use required in questions with follow up questions from interviewers. 5 questions for me but our interview went nearly an hour, overall friendly.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Starbucks (Concord, CA)
Interview
You first have a screen with the recruiter, and she sets up time to speak with you. If you pass that, you get sent to the DM and interview with that DM and another DM and then usually decision after that.
