Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
I filled out an application online and was called by an Atlanta-area location. I came in 5 minutes early, but the manager who interviewed me did not start our interview until 20 minutes after the scheduled time. He was taking orders behind the counter and eventually came to interview me. However, he admitted that he did not have the appropriate paperwork, so he just asked me questions off the top of his head and took notes. It was awkward because we were sitting among the customers in the lounge area. I did no expect the interview to be so casual. There are multiple rounds of interviews. Although I thought I did well answering his questions, I had scheduling conflicts that they did not want and ended up taking a different job.

In person interview after asking for a position in person and receiving a paper with steps to apply online. This was a U of MN caribou so it was pretty straight forward and I was hired after the interview the next day.
Did two interviews. It was cool. But two seemed a bit much for a barista role. But it did show they were looking for someone who was serious. It was pretty laid back and went well
