I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Bed Bath & Beyond (New York, NY) in Jan 2015
Interview
Poorly structured interview process. Had two interviews with different human resources individuals. It took about 10 days to obtain feedback from HR. Overall the interviewers have no clue about real interviewing. They are accustomed to intearct with high school graduates, with a real low intellect. The low bar extends across the hiring process, retail operation, retail management, etc.
Bed Bath and Beyond's compensation is very low. Barely above minimum wage.
One positive thing about my experience at BBB was the orientation training, which took two weeks full of real life scenarios and transactions at the cash register.
Straight forward, very easy questions. Single round interview with the store manager who was nice.Did not take long at all maybe about 30 minutes. Interview was in person at store location

Interview
Came in for an in person interview, lasted about 30 minutes. Asked for previous experience - rundown if resume. Then asked scenario based questions. What would you do if x happened. How did your previous experience relate, etc. Got a call with a job offer within 1-2 weeks and orientation began shortly after.

Interview
3 questions. My feeling was that they just want a warm body. Stocking and cashier work. Minimum wage. They asked me if I go to the bathroom a lot... Apparently they were having issues with that. Thought was odd, declined offer. I will go to the bathroom whenever I like to, thank you very much.
