The Greggs interview is pretty chill, usually about 20-30 mins long. They ask stuff about what you'd do in different situations. Mostly looking for how you handle customer service, work with others, and if you're up for anything. You usually hear back pretty fast, sometimes even the same day. It really helps if you know about Greggs' values and what they sell.

It was a straightforward process with competency-based questions. They asked me to talk about a time I went above and beyond and how I would handle a specific situation. I was advised to prepare scenarios from my experience and explain how I would contribute to the organization and the customer service role I applied for, focusing on skills like upselling, teamwork, eagerness to learn, maintaining calmness, and flexibility. They recommended using the STAR method.

The manager asked a few questions using a tablet. These were general questions about my past work, teamwork, how to keep the store tidy and laid out well, and dealing with people in retail. The interview seemed okay, then they did a right to work check, put it in the system, and the HR manager should get back to me in about a week.

It was okay, I arrived on time but the interview started late due to an error. It wasn't entirely welcoming, but enough I guess. The interview room was dark. The people seemed nice but looked stressed. The food smelt good. The interviewer seemed like they did not care.
