My interview experience was quite unprofessional. A manager showed up late and made a joke about just waking up. I was looking for part-time work with flexible hours, but was told that part-time actually requires a minimum of 40 hours with a set schedule, and full-time is flexible at 40 hours. The manager also mentioned that I would be responsible for closing the store and counting money so they could leave early.

I had a one-on-one with the store manager. They asked some basic questions about my experience and availability. The manager made me feel really comfortable and didn't ask the typical 'tell me about yourself' questions. They were also quick and helpful with any questions I had.
