It was a pleasant experience. The manager asked me some questions, but mostly we had a casual chat about the work environment. As I was a student, she was willing to make reasonable accommodations for my studies, provided I gave sufficient advance notice about my availability.

The interview was pretty chill and informal. The person interviewing me looked over my CV and asked some questions about it. The interview itself was nothing special, but I'll never forget it because midway through, the interviewer made an antisemitic remark, laughed, and then told me they only give their staff a ten-minute break during an 8-hour shift. Good thing I didn't get the job.
