Call and ask to speak to the manager. I’m sure they will reschedule your interview

Call again, if the manager still isnt there, ask for the manager’s email! It should be on their business card which is available in the store (obviously not able to go in and get it right now), so they should be able to give that to you. Send them an email asking if you can still take the offer but figure out a plan of action as to how you can go about getting an interview set up down the line once the stores reopen.

My tip for you: Customer Connection.

A friend of mine just got hired and our store is currently shut down. She starts training next week. If they need to hire people bad enough they will find a way 👍🏻

i would call again and speak with the manager. if you really want it, emphasize on teamwork and your positive experiences as a customer and how you can improve that while working. i got hired because of my personality and i’m easily approachable and i’m lucky i got hired because i almost wasn’t due to availability, but that’s not a problem anymore. if you have any questions or wanna talk, just slide me a dm.

I mean, my location is hiring. I’d definitely call! So many people taking leave means more room in the schedule I’d think.

When I went in for my interview, I had watched tons of videos on youtube with various different bits of advice. A common theme was always "Go in prepared, and as yourself"

By go prepared they mean do research on the company's culture, think of questions they might ask and avoid the "buzzwords" used to draw attention. A suggestion I saw was think of a question or two you can pose to them, base it in ideas you want to further clarify about the company. It shows interest and a willingness to learn.

By be yourself, they mean to go as "you" are. My interview I went in feeling comfortable in a set of nice jeans held up with a belt and a navy button-down short-sleeve shirt, that helped keep the tone a bit more relaxed. I asked questions about customer interactions, and the interview became more like a conversation then a confrontation. He talked about some of his regulars and grounded it in the corporate culture, i returned with instances where I performed customer service that demonstrated the values he expressed.

Got the call a bit later saying i got the job, and now almost 2 years later i'm a barista lead, working on becoming a supervisor.

Yes! I learned during and after my interview that being a barista isn’t just serving coffee it’s about that customer connection.
