Different questions than I have experienced in past job interviews, but seem to be their traditional hiring questions. They want to make sure they are hiring sociable people more so than just someone that can do the job.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Tampa, FL) in Aug 2023

Relaxed interview style. Please do not stress this. Be yourself. Management discusses the role but ultimately they want to get to know you as a person. They may have you interview with another candidate, but if you are called in person, it is a good sign!
