It was like a standard interview, pretty conversational and straight to the point. They asked me basic stuff about my past work, when I can work, and how I'd deal with typical retail scenarios. Like, they wanted to know my approach for handling a tough customer or being a team player. It was a friendly chat, mostly checking if I'd vibe with the store's culture and could handle the daily tasks.

The interview process was really smooth. They asked some pretty straightforward questions, mainly about how I'd deal with customer disagreements and some personality-based stuff. The manager who interviewed me kept things moving, and honestly, if you've got some experience or decent social skills, you'll probably do well.
