Interview
I applied online and was called back by a manager to come in for an interview the following day. The process was fairly quick- I went into his office and he asked me a few questions and had me fill out some paperwork. He was very flirty and unprofessional (later on after I got the job he continued being this way-such a creeper). I initially applied for a position in the copy center and told that's what I'd have, but they put me on a cash register and I didn't do anything else other than stock once for the two months that I worked there. I was given a shirt uniform that day three times larger than my body and told to "make it work". The rest of the process was ridiculous, as I watched videos all day that they considered "training". Overall, it was a bad experience.
Interview was super quick and casual. Mostly answering questions about my strengths and availability. It was about a 15-20 minute interview. The interviewer was transparent about how many other applicants there were.
Interview process was fairly easy consisting of just one interview with the manager. Questions were the typical / generic kind. Got a call back in decent time frame. Wouldn't sweat the process.

Question 1
Can you talk a bit more about your customer service experience?
Contacted the company about a cashiering job. Was put in touch with the right person after a reasonable amount of time. Things seemed to go as expected. Nothing tricky about it.
