The interview at Sainsbury's was pretty chill and made me feel welcome. They asked me stuff about working in a team, helping customers, and how I'd deal with busy times in the store. They gave me some real-life situations to see how I'd handle them, talked about whether I could work different hours, and also went over what the job actually involves. Overall, it was a laid-back, professional chat and I felt good about it.
