I sent in my application and then had a chat with the manager. It wasn't a tough interview, they just needed more folks for the retail and kitchen areas. They already knew they wanted me before I even spoke with them.

Stopped by the store and asked if they were hiring. Was told an opening would be posted in 4 days. Applied online 4 days later. Got a quick response and was scheduled for a phone interview the next day. The phone interview had typical questions about past work experience and what I liked least about my previous job. The following day, I had another interview with 2 separate scenario-based questions. I am now in the background check process.
