I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Dollar General in Apr 2014
Interview
It was really really lax. I applied online and literally maybe the next day, if not the day after that, I was called in for an interview. I went in for an interview maybe 2 days later. I was interviewed by the Assistant Store Manager and The office manager. They asked me a few simple questions about myself, and my availability. I told them I was a student, and about my one and only past job. They asked me some scenario questions and then a math question.
Once I was finished with the interview, the ASM looked pleased and told me on my way out that they would call me tomorrow or the day after to schedule my training. I was called the next day and started right away just because it was quick and convenient and the first place I heard back from.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What would I do if a customer asked me where something was and I didn't know?
A simple math question about change. If a customer's total was $8.17 and they give you $10.00 and you punch in the register $10.00 but then the customer adds a quarter after the register calculates it, what would their new total be?
I interviewed at Dollar General (Roanoke Rapids, NC)
Interview
The interview process was laid back and I felt comfortable to ask the hiring manager questions. I was respected and understood everything the manager was saying. I went into the back and we sat down and she told me about my position. She made it very clear as to what I had to do. She let me ask my questions that I had written before.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The one thing they asked me was why I wanted the job.
I applied online through the website and the managed called me. I scheduled an interview over the phone. I was taken to the office where she asked me some questions (I don't remember them) and I handed her my resume. She basically hired me there, I think.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Dollar General (Gower, MO) in Aug 2025
Interview
They told me my responsibilities and I was hired. The only question I was asked is "Do you have any questions?" Most definitely the easiest interview of my life. I got hired for showing up.
