Simple. If you are not able to relocate, don't plan on getting an interview for your local store opening. For other positions, if you're not available 7am to 11pm, don't count on getting an interview. Very impersonal open interview process.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you available for work seven days a week from 7am-11pm?
You walk through an aisle and go into the back of the building where they keep their products and loading dock is located. This takes place in a group setting where they do all the talking while taking questions occasionally so make sure to speak up and seem engaged because it is your only chance to really stand out. They then will split up the interviewers and have you basically pick which person to talk to in a 5min or shorter face to face in the back of a store. It was very odd and not normal, but they then will send you on your way, but the whole time they will know within the time someone is done with that who they will take. Very unique and odd experience.

Question 1
They ask the same thing every single time company wide.
There will be a "casual" walk around that is used to evaluate your ability to move quickly which is a huge part of the job. Keep up and don't get winded; ask questions.
