I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Office Depot (New Brunswick, NJ) in Feb 2014
Interview
The interview process was brief and over within a couple of weeks. The manager spoke with me briefly asking me essentially when I wanted to start. It was more of an interview of necessity than an actual search to find people who fit well with the company's core values. It seemed like employees came and went in rapid cycles so they were always hiring.
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.

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.
