I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Los Angeles, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
The interview process was pretty straightforward and relaxed. I applied online and was contacted by the store manager a few days later to schedule an interview. It was an in-person, one-on-one interview that lasted around 20–30 minutes. The manager asked about my availability, how I handle fast-paced environments, and a few situational questions like how I’d deal with a difficult customer or a busy rush. Overall, the conversation felt friendly and low-pressure. They mainly wanted to get a sense of my personality and customer service skills. I heard back within a few days with an offer.
After applying online they invited me for an online interview that was a group interview then the next stage would have been a one to one digital interview over zoom.

Question 1
What's a difficult customer interaction you've had?
The interview was short and straight forward. They ask about availability and previous employment. No complicated questions. The interviews take place in the cafe of one of the starbucks stores.

Question 1
They asked how I would handle fast paced environments
very easy and straightforward, they did a coffee tasting and was asked to describe the coffee taste. They focus on customer service, and knowing starbucks slang and the company goals is always a plus
