Interview
Applied online thought the website. Was called early the next morning to schedule interview for the next day. Went in and meet with the HR rep. Had a quick interview general questions then met with manager briefly to go over policies. Offered to choose one of two positions immediately after I passed the drug test. Either a position at Starbucks kiosk or as Food Clerk if I passed the skills test(which I did and took that one cause it paid more).
