I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (City of London, England) in Sep 2025
Interview
I was invited for an interview after handing in my CV in person. The questions were all prepared and generally easy, some situational, some personality-related. The interview was in person, which is a lot better, in my opinion. Questions didn't need much preparation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me what Starbucks drink represented me. They also asked me about a time I was told no by a superior and how I reacted to it.
I also remember a question about getting feedback and how I react to it.
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
