The interview process was pretty straightforward, though I ended up speaking with someone different than who I was originally scheduled to meet. Despite that hiccup, the conversation went smoothly and felt quite natural. I was asked to share my strengths and discuss my previous work experiences.

The interview was pretty easy and chill. A few days after I applied, they hit me up for an in-person interview. The manager asked about when I could work, if I'm good in a team, and how I deal when it's super busy. It was super laid-back, more like just chatting than a real interview. It took about 15-20 minutes, and I got the offer pretty quick after.

Group Behavioral
We had a group interview at a hiring fair, lots of people. It involved a lot of groupwork and different scenarios. It wasn't too bad. An interviewer was circling the room. I think it was unique because a new store was opening and they needed a ton of staff. Usually, I believe interviews for cashiers are one to one.
