Nice place to work

Nice people, good environment but little room for growth and not great pay. Flexible hours are good for students but occasional late nights and overnights not great for people with families.

Interview Questions

I went for the barista job today. The first questions was what books are you reading? Then if I had a YouTube channel, what would it be about? Name a time when you had to take a different approach with a customer, which confused me lol what would you do if was slow? Why should I pick you?

They asked me why I wanted to work there. What situations have you been in where there was a disagreement, how did you solve the disagreement. If you were given a responsibility that you weren't prepared for how would you handle it?

Very simple interview. Asked the basic questions, and did a background check.
