I applied online. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Bloomington, MN) in Jul 2016
Interview
Brief, slightly less formal than expected, and quite creative with the questions. I sat down with the general manager and talked about my minimal experience, was given a free cup of coffee. Overall it was a unique interview.
