Interviewed Feb 2012 in McLean, VA (took 5 days)
My local Starbucks advertised a job fair later in the week on Thursday, so I went there after filling out an application online. Once there, I had a 1:1 interview with one manager. I passed that interview, so I went onto the second group interview with 2 managers. The questions were basic and simple, and we were asked to do a coffee tasting. They told us that we would get a call by Tuesday. I got the call Sunday, and my local manager asked me to come in to do some paperwork and I got the job.

Interviewed Sep 2011 (took 4 days)
I had a very informal interview. I was asked a handful of questions. I lead most of the interview myself by tell my manager what I had to offer the company. She was desperate for help and wanted to hire me on the spot but couldn't due to company police.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
I was really suprised with the interview. The manager just talked to me and told me how she loves working at sbux. She told me about her volunteering at all events, that she has taken on more stores to manage and how sbux is grooming her for a promotion. So I told her about me, where I worked before, my experience, gave examples of situations that I made a difference since she did not ask any questions, I thought I would offer up information. It was very strange. I told her how I thought I would be perfect for the assistant managers job, etc. Then that was it. Very strange.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
I declined the offer because the job she offered was not the position I interviewed! And the salary was very low and not the hours and days I had applied for as well.
Other Details
I applied In-Person and the interview consisted of a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Apr 2010 in Coral Springs, FL (took a day)
The manager at this location of Starbucks was extremely easy going and understanding. He put me at ease the moment I sat down with him. He was extremely passionate about the company and that was something we shared. We spoke briefly about my interest in the company, and then about me personally and my work ethics/behaviors. There was no pressure in this interview, and I was offered the job on the spot at the end of the interview, which I was later told was because of my ease, and the way I portrayed myself.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
It was a seleccion process, they review my cv and my application form, and they really like it, there were 2 people, one doing questions and the another looking at me, but they refuse me because I didn´t want to work in that place permanently. The asked me why do you want to work here? where do you live? are you available for work at the openings times? and during the weekends?...

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Clear focus on ability to collaborate and keep a cool head in a busy environment. The interview itself was standard, with questions mostly in the form of stressful scenarios and how you would handle them. I recommend that those who really want the job follow-up if not once, multiple times, as Starbucks managers are quite busy and would have a tough time matching a name to application otherwise.
