I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Target (Dublin, CA) in Oct 2021
Interview
The interview process was that I was taken to the break room, asked to wait for my interviewer, and then I moved to a separate room. The interview was a maximum of 10 minutes. They asked if I had any experience working at a cafe/coffee shop and then asked for my availability. It was very quick and very easy.

Question 1
What experience do you have working at a coffee shop or cafe?
Online application and in store interview to discuss retail/customer service experience. Having some previous restaurant experience was seen as a plus but definitely not necessary. Met with some of the other baristas to see if there was a good team vibe. Offer received same day.

Question 1
How have you handled a customer who was displeased with your service?
Pretty straight forward. It is really like every interview at any big box store. They didn't ask anything particular. They mainly focused on if you could get to work on time and if you were available. They worked with anyone who was in school (hs or college)
