I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Toms River, NJ) in Sept 2017
Interview
Asked me to go to a new location a little far from my house. It's larger than the one closer to me at the Ocean County Mall, so that was understandable. However, after finishing the interview, the person interviewing me just said bye and nothing more. Didn't give me a time span on how long it would take for me to hear whether or not I got the position, didn't tell me if I did good or bad, didn't even ask me when I would be able to work or what location would work. Aside from him personally saying it, I could tell he didn't even want to interview me because at the time I walked with a cane and wore headphones for a neurological issue that was later fixed completely with surgery.

Question 1
Have you ever had any experience working as a barista before?
applied and interviewed with a manager. nothing fancy. nice if you have customer service experiences and latte art. it was not difficult and he was very friendly. too bad i declined
A variety of asks; mostly scenarios and conflict resolution. If you have previous in management at previous jobs you'll be fine! They want quite a few examples of responses to stress.

Asked about passions, hobbies and why you want to work there as well as previous experience. Not difficultly and was laid back. Not much preparation needed. Be prepared to talk about hobbies and what beverages and food items you enjoy.
