Interviewed May 2011 in San Francisco, CA (took a day)
Upon arrival, manager pulls out application, a quick greeting takes place and both sit in a private spot together. Manager gives a small overview of the company, then the questioning takes place. Some questions that were asked were: What experience do you have in this type of industry? How would you introduce yourself? Do you get along with employees (teamwork)? What is your current job?, A scenario is given and one must prioritize duties in that scenario. Describe a problem with another employee, what procedures were taken and what was the outcome? How would one up-sell a product? Description of any qualities that one possesses that one can bring to the company. REFERENCES WILL BE CHECKED, so have some good ones.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Manager will propose minimum wage ($9.92 in San Francisco) and try to settle it by average amount of tips earned per hour ($3-4). If you have experience, and know the market rate, propose that rate. Apparently, they can only give you $9.99. If you are good at haggling, try and settle for $10/hour.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Feb 2011 in Hayward, CA (took a day)
Applied in person, got a phone interview a week later. Interview consisted of questions like: What do you already know about Peet's and why do you want to work here? Give a time when you had a positive customer experience. Pick a product and sell it to me. What kind of environment would you like to work in? Why did you leave your last job? Do you have any future commitments that will get in the way of working here?

Consisted of a basic interview with the Store Manager. It was about 10 minutes. There was a 2nd interview by a Shift Lead after on, and the questions asked were generic.

Little or no experience base rate is always $8 in the South Bay, so there was no negotiation. It was a take-it-or-leave-it situation.
