      Grocery Clerk Interview

      Jul 28, 2017
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Denver, CO
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Safeway (Denver, CO) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      Was notified by email to attend interview. All went well, lots of paperwork. They have me meet human resources, take drug test, fill out all form including direct deposit etc. I figure I'm hired. No, I need to take physical exam. It'll be a week before I can get scheduled. I do that finally, take the exam, pass no problem. I call HR, they say that they'll let me know. A few days go by, I keep calling, emailing. Finally I get a letter in snail mail saying the position is filled. No explanation. Not sure why they wasted all my time and theirs?
