Interview
For some reason, even though I had nearly a decade of food industry and customer service experience, I went through FOUR interviews for an entry level job there. The whole process took almost 2 weeks, and I had to wait another 2 weeks until it was time to start my on-boarding training. Thankfully I had some saving or I would have been completely screwed, not very respectful of time...
