Interview
I was interviewed by a gentlemen named Andy working at the Roanoak store. He was amazing, he gave a run down on how everything really works at the store. Only problem was interviewing didn't start on time. (Not due to me).

Interview
Extremely rude and unprofessional! It started out as a normal interview until the manager started giving me the third degree and vehemently asking why I quit my past jobs. If I said that a job was too far and I didn't have a car he'd angrily say, "Then why didn't you take the trolley!?", when I defended my reasons he still came back with "Well, why didn't you...!?"
Then he finished with, "Well, how do I know you're not just going to quit after two weeks!?" Well sorry for having plenty of work experience! And mind you, I worked at my last job for almost 2 years, the previous for 5 months, and the one before that one for 2 years. I don't know if he just broke up with a girlfriend and was feeling insecure, but still, no reason to lash out on me for looking out for my best interests. Maybe it was because I worked at the store right in front of this Panda.
It was an awful experience, but I'm glad I didn't get it. I would hateeeeeee to work with that guy. Especially since he'd be a creep whenever he came to the store I worked at and make us feel uncomfortable with his advances.

Interview
Two interviews.
First was store manager then district manager.
Fairly easy.
They are very observant.
They want to see how you spend your time and how busy you are
They look for fast-paced and effiecent
They are very detail oriented.
They usually ask you if you would like a drink. Take the drink and be very fast to fill your cup. They observe how quick you can do that and take that as how hard and fast you'll work.
They are very strange
