Interview
I had an interview over the phone and was asked to come in for a second interview a few days later. The interview was done at the food court but I could still hear him clearly. The interview was very laid back and the manager made me feel very comfortable. He explained "HAM" to me, which is basically how they want you to sell the items. He let me know that he would call me in a few days.

Interview
It was quick and easy. Applied and got a call back 2 days later asking me why I wanted to work there and my availability. Then set up an in person interview which took around 10 minutes.
Quick 30 minute conversation. Pretty straightforward. As long as you seem like you can talk to people and are responsible you’ll be fine. Since it’s entry level they didn’t ask too much about past work experience.
