I showed up three times for an interview with the manager, but he didn't make it any of those times. The third time, the assistant manager stepped in. He asked me if I liked cars or bicycles, and when I said yes, he told me I had the job, saying I seemed to know my stuff. After that, he had me go out on the shop floor to engage with customers. He came back about 20 minutes later and said 'Well done mate'.

First I had a phone call with the manager, then a face to face interview where they asked general questions like why I wanted to work there and what I knew about the company. Then there was a role play with the manager acting as a customer, where I had to try and upsell products.
