I applied online. I interviewed at Caribou Coffee (Saint Paul, MN) in Apr 2017
Interview
Asked mostly about availability and if I'm willing to work early mornings. I was offered any coffee and I politely declined, but I think it would also be appropriate to ask for a drip coffee. Shows that you know what it is and ensures you are not taking too much from them at interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked what animal I would be if I could choose and why.
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
