It was a great quick interview, they just asked a few questions about my experience and if I had any retail experience, and they told me about the job. I ended up working there for several years after and enjoyed it.

The interview was pretty chill, they seemed to get it and were fair. They're looking for someone who's good with people and friendly. A big plus is how flexible they are with scheduling. If you're aiming for management, it might be a bit tough because some of their systems and ways of doing things are kinda old school.
