The interview is pretty quick and they ask a few questions about customer service. They take a quick look at your previous jobs and ask what you're hoping to get out of this one. It's a pretty standard interview, and usually a second manager jumps in to ask some general questions too. It's all about customer service.

The interview was conducted by a very nice person, but they left the room twice during the interview. While they were gone, I overheard employees gossiping, which seemed like a toxic environment. The place also appeared to be dirty and understaffed. Despite saying "yes", I don't think I will be accepting the position.
Confirmed questions1 question
- Are you okay with working specific days that you already told us were a problem?
