I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Tacoma, WA) in Apr 2009
Interview
I took top 10 lists of why I should be the next barista a store hired along with a resume. Only one manage was in when I delivered it, and that was the one that hired me. Only one other manager called me back of about 7 drop offs. If you do not give your app to a manager with a smile and a interactive friendly demeanor, consider yourself not hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you function under high pressure situations?
Basically a short chat about my availability, my interest in the job, why I want to work there, how familiar I am with coffee and what my past experiences in hospitality were.
After applying online they invited me for an online interview that was a group interview then the next stage would have been a one to one digital interview over zoom.

Question 1
What's a difficult customer interaction you've had?
Easiest interview I've ever had. I was only asked 3 questions, 'tell me about yourself, what are your strengths & weaknesses, what is your availability?' Lasted about 10 minutes maximum
