Applied in-person at a new cafe. Had a first interview in a hiring trailer outside the site and moved on to a second interview with the district manager at an existing cafe. Was told I would receive a phone call the next day with a yes or a no. Offered the job the day after the second interview.

Interviewer (who was the manager at the time) was a nice person, charming in the way he spoke, understanding, a good listener, and good speaker. I didn't get the job, but he was still very charitable when interviewing me.
