I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Starbucks (Saint Louis, MO) in Nov 2023

Go up to the front registers to introduce yourself and say you have an interview. They will often offer you a free beverage while you wait/during your interview. The Store Manager will sit with you to discuss the position and ask several questions.

Question 1
Describe the characteristics that most excite you about being a leader and role model.
The interview process was low stress, and I was offered a drink by a barista while waiting for the manager. We spoke about my previous relevant work experience, and how I've handled different situations with customers.
