I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Starbucks (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2008
Interview
I came in to the store to hand in my application and the store manager was there. He looked over my application and asked me if I had time to interview on the spot. The manager asked me questions about why I wanted to work for Starbucks and a few other behavioral questions related to customer service. He then had me talk to the Assistant Store Manager and she asked me a few behavioral questions as well. When the interview was done, the manager told me he would call me later that day with an offer.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Tell me about a time when you were in a stressful situation. How did you handle it and what was the outcome.
Basically a short chat about my availability, my interest in the job, why I want to work there, how familiar I am with coffee and what my past experiences in hospitality were.
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?
Easiest interview I've ever had. I was only asked 3 questions, 'tell me about yourself, what are your strengths & weaknesses, what is your availability?' Lasted about 10 minutes maximum
