It was a very casual interview, but honestly, they said I got the job, and then I never heard from them again. They took all my info, said they'd text me about my first shift, and I even filled out the i9 form.

It was super easy, they just asked some basic stuff and I was offered the job before I even left the place. They asked about my availability, my past work experiences, and how I'd interact with my colleagues. They also questioned how I handle pressure.

I saw an ad on Craigslist about a new location opening and that they were having open interviews. I filled out an application and had an interview that lasted no more than 7 minutes. They asked me two questions and then told me what they were looking for. They basically hired me and I filled out all the paperwork. They told me orientation was the next day because they were opening the following week.
