I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (London, ON) in Sep 2008
Interview
went to a job fair, had what is Starbucks standard of two job interviews. Both interviews where about a half hour in length.
Actually hired on as a barista; was in that role for a year then promoted to Shift. Each level there is an interview process where you meet with the district manager and answer behavioural based questions.

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.

It was not as bad as I thought, they asked me about my values, we talked about experiences with customers ( they are very big on treating customers right so a big emphasis on this) and time management
