First, I had a phone interview where we covered general questions. Then, I went into the store to talk to the manager and complete some tasks. These tasks included finding an outfit suitable for an employer and organizing items on the shop floor.

Had a very casual one-on-one with the staff lead. It was a pretty standard interview about customer service, and they also introduced me to the team and how the shop floor operates. The person interviewing me was really nice. It felt like a place with a lot of younger staff, so it didn't seem like a lonely work environment.
