I got an interview after 1 day I applied.
The questions are pretty simple.
Why do you want to work at Safeway?
What do you know about Safeway?
What are your availability?
How do you react when you have an angry customer?
It was casual, with only one interviewer. Low pressure, but I did look up common questions they asked before. They asked about my availability and 5-6 questions. They offered different positions to see If I was interested in applying to any of those.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about a time you faced a challenge at work and how did you react/respond?
Go and provide in person resume otherwise online application not required . I went in person they give me call two weeks later. But they say to join immediately. They provide training after you join.
Conversational, included a few conversations between manager and existing employees on the expectations and hours of the role. Similar to other cashiering roles I interviewed for. Some of the skills they were looking for were interpersonal and ensuring that I could hold a conversation and be good with customers.
