I applied in-person. I interviewed at Publix (Winston-Salem, NC) in Jun 2023
Interview
The interview process was not difficult. They asked questions about my experience and questions that would allow them to get to know me and my work ethic. I feel the process was beneficial to them and to me and yeah, pretty painless.

Question 1
I was being interviewed as a barista in the Starbucks at their store, and they asked me about my previous work as a barista.
Filled out application online. No follow up from them for quite a while. Eventually got an in-person interview request several months later. Thought they had forgotten about me! Met with customer service boss at a local Publix grocery store.

Question 1
Tell us about your experience working in customer service. Tell us how you have handled a customer who made unreasonable complaints about retail service.
As a teenager, the interview was not scary or intimidating at all. Managers make sure to ask the right questions and explain everything expected during the first days of working there before orientation.
