Interviewed Mar 2012 in New York, NY (took 3 days)
I applied online, got an email after couple of hours inviting me to a group interview the next day. There were almost 20 more people in the room. It was a group/ panel interview with district manager, HR representative, store manager and another manager. They asked 4 questions which were just basics about customer service. The key during group interviews is to try to be the first or second to answer the question. Go prepared with information about the company and you will do good

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Brooklyn, NY (took 1+ week)
Applied online to the three stores close to me, received a phone call from a store manager one week later. He asked me a couple of questions based on my online application and asked if I would like to come in for a interview 2 days later. Went to store and had a basic job interview with him in his office, he asked the general questions (why do you want to work here? what's your greatest strength you would bring to the job?) and what I would do in certain situations at the store (How would you deal with an unhappy customer? What's the best way to keep the line from getting to long?). Later that night the manager called me after doing a background check and calling my references (make sure they are able to talk!) and offered me a job which I accepted. He then set up my orientation for later that week, which was basically me and other newly hired employees in a room learning the basics of how to work efficiently in the store.

Interviewed Jun 2011 in New York, NY (took a day)
Interview consistented of a series of questions such as those found online in the assessment process of the online application. "Describe an experience at a past workplace where you made an error and how you handled it." "What would you do if you noticed theft taking place at work? Both employee and customer theft." "What would you describe as an ideal customer service experience?" etc.

Negotiation Details
I doubt this position includes alot of variability in pay rate but highlighting your experience vs the poor salary couldn't hurt.
