It was an on the spot interview I wasn't expecting to be interviewed right as I was leaving after submitting my application, though it was a quick and straight forward process. I ended up starting the job that same week. It's one of the greatest teams to work with.

I had my interview at a cafe table and the interviewer came and asked me questions. I think they were already going to hire me because the sticky note they gave me at the end was on my interview paper. The questions were pretty standard and the interviewer wasn't the friendliest but she wasn't mean either. The note said I needed to come in at 9:30 on Wednesday with my ID, SS card, and checking account info. This is my first job so I'm excited to start even though it wasn't my first choice.

I applied online and the assistant manager got in touch. Since they needed people, they invited me for an interview the next day. I met with the assistant manager, we talked about the pay, and they said they'd get back to me later in the week. But I got a call about an hour later saying I got the job and the pay I wanted.

I applied for the job just before summer. I kept calling to check on my application status. It took about a month and a half, or maybe two months, before they called me back for an interview. I went during a hiring event, and there were about ten of us, so it took a good amount of time. But the interview itself was pretty straightforward.
