I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Safeway (Edmonton, AB) in Apr 2016
Interview
I applied on April 24 and got the phone call from my supervisor on April 26. The interview process took about half an hour to 45 mins. Just some basic questions about yourself, your previous jobs, your customer service skills, such and such... After the interview she told me right away that I got the job and asked me to do the Food safety training. It was easier than I thought to be honest.
Tips: Be confident, specific and honest.

Question 1
Why do you want to work in the deli versus other departments?
It was very informative and I felt comfortable with the knowledge that my interview would be considered with the utmost thought. I did not land the position, but have no ill will, they were right in the deli did not suit me. A barista position was far more paletteable
pretty easy and straightforward tho didn't get the job. probably shouldve done more prep. didn't have much experience with deli work which may have been why i didn't get the job but oh well
