The interview was very simple and easy, with a great range of questions. Unfortunately, I wasn't hired because of my age. It was short and informal, so don't stress too much about what to wear, just make sure your outfit is presentable.

It was pretty casual, mostly just asking about my customer service background and my availability. The interview happened in the manager's office at the back of the store. I think they were mostly trying to see if I'd be a good fit for a role that involves a lot of customer interaction.
