Question 1
They had asked how I am under pressure, since during rush times a cool mind is important.
Interviewed by the store manager and regional managers, mostly situational questions, about 30 minutes total talk and at the end asked you your availability to work, and if you have any questions for them.

I applied in-person. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Starbucks (Glen Mills, PA) in Sep 2024
