I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Loblaw Companies (Toronto, ON) in May 2013
Interview
The interview process is too long for a cashier position. First I went on the website to apply for the job. 2 weeks later I got a call for a phone interview. They ask me questions like how far i live form the store, what does customer service mean to you, situation questions and availability. Next they told me to fill out a questionnaire online, it was simple customer service questions. The next day they invited me for a sit down interview with the HR manager. At that point they already made up their mind to hire me.

There was no formal interview conducted during the hiring process. I met directly with the manager, completed a required form, and was hired immediately following our brief interaction without further assessment or evaluation.
it was very simple, three to five questions about experience working with others in teams and alone and with customers in other jobs. asked about working style and classic "tell me about yourself"
