it was a very simple basic interview, the people in the working space were nice and understanding. The questions were based off the work and your hours. I went in and chatted with the manager and a few workers and they seemed very close and nice.

The whole process was pretty straightforward. I only had one interview with the General Manager, which lasted around 20 minutes. They wanted to know about my previous experience and my reasons for wanting to join the team. It was all very casual, and they mentioned they offer training.

Super simple interview process. They're really open to hiring folks without any prior experience. Mostly just asking about when you can work and maybe a couple of 'what if' scenarios. If you've worked before, they might ask about times you took charge or showed leadership.
