Question 1
They didn't ask me anything specific. They took one look at my resume and asked me to explain retail math. Once i explained it in detail, they started passing me around until i ended up talking to the Assistant warehouse manager.
Basic experience based questions. “Tell me about a time when…” They want actual personal examples of when you dealt with a difficult customer, coworker, etc. and how you dealt with it. Usually interview with at least two managers before being hired.
