Got auto-rejected from Starbucks barista position after a week — does this mean I don't meet "basic requirements" or is it just boilerplate?
Applied for a barista position at a store near me and got this rejection email about a week later (screenshot attached). It says I “do not meet one or more of the basic requirements.”
I’m confused because I meet the obvious stuff (age, work eligibility, etc). Has anyone else gotten this exact wording? Since it took a week instead of being instant, does that mean an actual person looked at it, or is this still just an automated rejection?
Also open to advice — should I try applying to a different location, or go in person and talk to a manager instead?
