It was a pretty quick process. I had a one-on-one with the manager and they asked some standard entry-level customer service questions. They hired me on the spot! After that, I got a tour of the store and we reviewed my resume and work history.

The hiring process was quick and straightforward. They were very communicative throughout. I applied on a weekend and secured an interview within the same week. I started working part-time shortly after to earn extra money. I'd recommend applying if you're interested in the role.
