I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Food Lion (Elkridge, MD) in Aug 2010
Interview
I applied online, and walked in to the store to follow up after about a week. I asked to speak to the department manager for the front end, and I introduced myself, and said I wanted to follow up on the application I put in. The manager said she intended to call me, but me showing up was just as good. I was able to get an interview. When I was at the interview, we went to the back breakroom to talk. My interviewer asked me stock questions, such as "Tell me about yourself" and "Describe to me your strengths. Describe your weaknesses." And then, "How proficient are you in math and computers?" She also asked me about my availability. I was given the job offer the same day, but I asked for 2 weeks before I started so I could give proper notice for my employer at the time.
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Food Lion

It was pretty chill. They didn't ask anything I wouldn't expect them to. Wanted to know about customer skills and previous related experience. Talked to one person who I believe was a manager
It was quick and easy. I was sat down and they described the job description to me. They then asked me a couple questions relating to the job experience and how I could handle it.
