The interview process was really quick. They asked super basic questions that you could probably find by Googling or asking ChatGPT. It felt very easy, and I think 30 minutes of prep would be enough.

You apply online, and there's this quiz thing, plus you can add your resume. This decides if they give you a call back for like a mini phone interview. Then, if you pass that, you have in-person interviews. They're kinda chill, usually one-on-one or in small groups. You'll chat with the hiring manager first, then the store manager. You don't usually need prior job experience, so it's a good place to start, and the interview isn't too stressful, but you'll learn stuff. They mostly want to see your personality and if you're good with people, to see if you'd fit in.
