I applied online. I interviewed at Patagonia (Salt Lake City, UT) in Oct 2020
Interview
The interview process was pretty over-the-top for a job that doesn't even pay $15/hr during a pandemic.
It consisted of a group interview held over video call. 3 people giving interviews, myself, and 2 other people being
interviewed. It felt like we were in a pageant because we had to take turns answering the same question- in no particular order- otherwise they'd just move on. Very awkward dynamic.

Why do you want to work for Patagonia?
The assistant manager interviewed me at the time and she asked me pretty standard behavioral questions (worked well/didn't succeed in a team setting etc.). She also asked me a lot about why I wanted to work for that specific location which was Palo Alto.
