I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Starbucks in Jan 2009
Interview
I was promoted internally but still interviewed. The interview for management is typically a panel of 3-4 people who take turns asking questions. The questions are behavior based so be prepared to recall scenarios from past experiences. They're looking for energetic people who are goal oriented and results driven.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describing a situation where you were made a mistake at work, etc. Generally just very specific situations. They're looking for lots of elaborations and examples. They're looking for SARI in each answer: the Situation, Action-what you did, R-results, I-interesting feature.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Starbucks (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2026
Interview
Two district sanagers interviewing over Microsoft Teams. Extensive, heavy "STAR" use required in questions with follow up questions from interviewers. 5 questions for me but our interview went nearly an hour, overall friendly.
