I had an in-person interview at the business place in the afternoon. It was really fast and the questions were super easy to get and not judgmental at all. It's more like an 'answer as you see it' kind of thing, no wrong or silly questions or answers.

The process was pretty straightforward. It involved a couple of rounds. First, HR gave me a call, and then the store manager followed up. It all went quite smoothly. They mainly asked general questions about my experience and background.

The interview was very unprofessional because the interviewer was texting the entire time. She'd ask questions while I was answering and I could hear her typing on her phone, then she'd finish texting after I finished talking, leaving several seconds of silence after every question. When I asked why managers work 50 hours a week at least, she said "because they get paid overtime", which didn't answer the question at all. After I asked that question, she said "So you are not interested?" To which I replied no, I would still consider it if the pay was right. She abruptly ended the call, not giving me a chance to ask any more questions.
