It was a straightforward chat where they wanted to see if I had the right skills and experience for the job, and if I'd fit in. They asked me some questions about what I'd do in certain situations, asked for examples from when I've worked before, and we also talked about what the job involves, chances to move up, and what the company is all about. It was a professional setting.

It was a standard interview process, nothing out of the ordinary. They asked about basic education and my readiness to work with customers, as expected in this industry. A uniform is required, which is also typical for the field. It's too early to comment on the staff or management.
