Blank Street - tech-forward coffee chain (NYC/London/Boston). Barista hiring is fast and easy (~12 days, about a week of interviews) with automated machines and provided training. Interview experience is only ~46% positive, and the negativity centers on the job itself - indifferent management, poor health benefits, chronic short-staffing and aggressive cost/pay control. No systemic ghosting reported, but low sentiment and high-churn retail dynamics. Reported average time to first response is about 12 days. Applicants report roughly 2 interview round(s).
