The interview process was quick and simple if you had prior connections. Otherwise, the manager I had barely worked and left a new hire alone on their second shift. After I quit, she got fired, but it's wild they let her be manager after only working there for a month.

This is about a 15-minute interview. It begins with them asking about your experience and availability. From what I saw, the manager on duty interviews you one-on-one. The General Manager is really friendly. It's best to be on time to make a good impression and to ask questions about the job so they know you're interested in joining.
