I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Winston-Salem, NC) in July 2025
Interview
Great process! They get back to you quickly, and are so friendly! They make you feel very comfortable during the interview and it’s a casual low-pressure feeling. The questions are all situational and draw on your customer service experience.

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

It was short and to the point. They asked my availability and past experience working in the food industry. Since I didn’t have any, I felt it was going to prevent me from getting the job.
Usual standard process of interviewing, we went over my experience and knowledge of working as barista in coffee shops and restaurants in my previous jobs. Highly recommend as a great place to work at !!
