Interview Experience
I was there around 15 minutes early, well ready for the interview. I was taken inside by who I assume is the manager of the store. Then I was just asked one question, that's it.
Then she was like, you will only get a call if you are selected, we don't have time to call everyone. Disgusting. I would have never gone there even if selected, it was like she already presumed my capabilities. It lasted 2 minutes.
If that was going to be the case, why do you even invite people?
