I went in and filled out a computer application. It seemed like a slow day, so they interviewed me right away. They hired me, I did all the paperwork, and they gave me my schedule. I showed up for my first day, went through training including HIPAA training, and was trained to work in the pharmacy as a cashier.

The interview was straightforward. I dressed in a nice button-up shirt and they asked me some customer-service related questions, which I handled well. My only issue was that they didn't mention upfront that the role involved doing multiple jobs beyond just the one I applied for, which felt a bit misleading.
