I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Sears in Aug 2009
Interview
I had a one on one interview. The tension was sort of broken between the interviewer and me because people kept coming into his office. Questions were almost all scenario questions. Be prepared for all sort of scenario questions, even ones that you have never experienced because I got caught unprepared for one scenario question because I had never experienced that certain scenario, so I had to answer it the best i knew how just using my common sense. Although it was nerve-racking for me, the interviewer was pleasant and even offered me a job in his area if I didn't get into the area I was applying for at the actual interview! Needless to say, I was offered the job.

Question 1
Customer/Employee scenarios, where you have to give the scenario.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Sears (Lancaster, PA)
Interview
Not bad. Usual questions. They mostly wanna know what you bring to the table. Strengths, weaknesses, improvements you need to make, etc. Took about 45 minutes. Once you are given an offer, they do a background check, which may or may not involve drug test. Prepare as if there is one, just to be safe.
