Interview
I Apply online a week later after applying I receive an email to setup an interview my self. Which I was quite bit anxious because I had to wait about another week for a calendar to schedule my appointment. So I followed as instructed to check daily for an open day. Once I set up my interview I arrived 15minutes early I also dressed as I was ready to work for them (all black) i figure that it will give me the chances to get the position. As a matter fact it did, my interviewer was very impressed with it (sed that I was ready to work all I needed was a badge with my name) interview only took about 15 to 20minutes everything is based on how fast and accurate are your answers. I previously had experienced for the position so my interview was quite fast. The questions were more about previous customer experience examples and outcome of situations. Overall I made 2 generate questions to demonstrate my interest in the position. That was a plus because the interviewer offered me the position.

Virtue first. Then, at the store. Interview questions are not hard but hiring manager/s are sketchy. They posted part time positions but when I got into the interview they said their looking for people wanting full time job. So unprofessional to take my time.
