It was one of those things I had to schedule online, select a time and date, etc. So never actually spoke to anyone before entering the store. Everyone I met had a pretty rude attitude, which was already a red flag for a customer service position imo. Here's just a list of things I didn't like about this interview. Emphasized more on making extra sales because bs about how it benefits the customer. (I was applying to be a cashier) Can't go anywhere these days without having extra shit shoved in your face, so I just don't wanna be a part of that anyways.

While this place is extremely stressful and tiring. I love the vibe of the place theres a certain sense of freedom within the team, which is something that is hard to get elsewhere. We are allowed to screw around, drink on the job, let our personalities shine through (given we are all doing our jobs properly, of course).
