I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Minneapolis, MN) in Feb 2019
Interview
Fast, easy, offer right away. I was a little worried about the culture after seeing staff, though. Overall its a good entry level job for someone who needs something quick

Question 1
Tell me about a time you had to deal with an unhappy customer and how did you fix their experience?
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
