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 online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Koreatown, Los Angeles) in Sep 2025
Interview
About an hour long lots of questions. They ask personality based questions to see if you are friendly and can hold a conversation . That wanted to see how you handle hard questions from customers or unfriendly ones or ones you might not know answers to
