I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Office Depot (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2012
Interview
Pretty straightforward process. One of the managers brought me to her office and asked me 5-7 questions about my experiences and how I might deal with certain situations. After answering all her questions, she confirmed my availability and told me I'd have to take a drug test, which pretty much meant I was hired.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you sell an additional item, like a pen, at the front registers when you're ringing up customers' purchases?
They make you take a computer test.
From there, you interview with one of the assistant managers.
They are always hiring.
Make you take an in-person item locator test - kind of like a scavenger hunt trying to find all types of items in the store so you get familiar where things are located if a customer asks you.

I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Office Depot (Tallahassee, FL) in Sep 2015
Interview
I came in dressed in nice casual attire, (Nice jeans and a button down shirt.) and spoke with the store manager. She had a look over my resume and just kind of asked questions about be based off of what she seen on there. After a couple of jokes back and forth about my previous work history not being retail or customer service related, and about the fact that I would be taking a pay cut from my previous jobs she declared on the spot that I was hired and after about 3 days I was called back in for training.
