It was a group interview with many other students and everyone gets asked the same question. They will give you a slip where you can rank which areas you rank first after you are notified that you have passed the interview. Before this, you are required to go through a background check so they can screen you. I do believe this is for Cashiers primarily as they are handling the cash in the store.

Group Behavioral

It was a group interview with 3 people and we were interviewed by two student managers in a conference room. It wasn't too much pressure since they were also students, but you should still dress semi formally (friendly but still a little strict). We each took turns answering a different question. They also gave us more info about the next step in the hiring process.

Behavioral Group

The interview process was pretty quick. It was a group interview with two other people and the supervisor and one higher up student employee. They asked questions going from left to right, then right to left so everyone had time to think. It was fair but still a weird group interview.
