It was an easy and quick interview. They just wanted to see if I had confidence and knew my way around. I had to pretend to be keen and wanting to work for Boots. They had me find a handful of items and go around the store to see how quick I collected everything. It was pretty straightforward; the quicker and more accurate you are with the products, the higher your chance of getting the job.

I got to the place about 10 minutes before my interview. The manager told me to wait in a small office next to the elevator. I just stood there outside the office for about 20 minutes until the interviewer was ready.
