I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Pier 1 Imports (Savannah, GA) in Jan 2008
Interview
I walked in, filled out the application. An assistant manager looked it over and said she would call me if they needed someone in that position. Two days later I got the call and we scheduled an interview. The assistant manager who was training to be a store manager interviewed me. She asked questions like what would you do if a customer asked a question and you didn't know the answer; can you work under a lot of pressure, can you multitalsk, lift heavy boxes, work different shifts... She also asked me to tell her about a time that I had to help an upset or angry customer and about a time when I did not agree with my store's policy and what i did about it. And of course where do you see yourself in 5 years...

It was about 30 minutes long. The manager asked me basic questions about myself and the job. He wanted to know my availability and if I were able to unload the truck due to the boxes being heavy.
Simple and transparent process. After applying, was asked to come in to interview in person. Interview was professional and took around 45 minutes. Heard back from hiring manager within a week.
