It happened in the cash office. The vibe was super chill, with just two interviewers. They threw a bunch of general questions at me, nothing too in-depth. It was just one interview, and it wrapped up in under 15 minutes. I got the job and they called me in for training pretty quickly, within the week.

I applied online on their website and then went in person to talk to the manager. I mentioned I applied, and he said they were not busy and would be in touch. After a few weeks, he called offering an interview, which I accepted. A few days later, I went in, dressed in black pants and a black shirt to match the employee dress code, noticing they liked employees who were neat and tidy. The manager sat down with me and asked about my favorite high school class, my age, languages I speak, and my availability. I confirmed I was available, and he said he'd be in touch. A week later, he called to offer me the job.

I had a phone interview, but it didn't work out because I didn't state my exact available hours. I said I could work anytime, and that answer apparently wasn't right.
