It was a simple, straight forward interview. They asked about my previous experience. The managers were friendly and the setting was casual. The interview took place at a cafe table area with the Fresh Food Manager and the Front End Manager.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
You can apply online or at the in-store kiosk. I'd recommend going to the membership desk and asking to talk to a manager. Introduce yourself and say you're applying. Keep it brief, they're busy. If they call you for an interview, dress business casual. The first interview is with an hourly supervisor, the second with a salary manager, and the third with the GM. These might be on different days. If you get through that, you'll have a drug test, and if you pass, there's a three-day orientation.

It was a really quick and easy interview process, I was in and out fast and got an offer on the spot. The manager who interviewed me was friendly. Just a heads up, you usually have to be 18 for most jobs, especially in food service, and they are flexible with part-time hours for school schedules.
