There was just one interview. I talked about my previous jobs and how I could contribute to PJs coffee. It was alright, not amazing but not bad. Nothing was confusing, but nothing was super interesting either.

It was a pretty thorough interview process for the barista role, covering my past work history, any management experience I had, and my customer service background. Since the location was new, the interviews were conducted really carefully, though I'm not sure if that's how it is for every store.
