I applied online. I interviewed at Starbucks in May 2026
Interview
They interviewer was friendly but the store was busy so they seemed distracted. They asked why I wanted to work for starbucks and then asked a lot of behavioral questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to make a decision without a manager present.
Received an email asking to schedule an interview for the following week. The interview took place in the store itself, and took about 15 minutes. The questions were pretty average.
First interview went well, just the basic behavioral questions that should be answered using the STAR method. Second interview was less questions but with the district manager. Still waiting to hear back (if they reach out at all).
Interview questions [5]
Question 1
Tell me about a time where you had to navigate a situation where the supervisor wasn’t available.
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.
