I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Stripes (Rio Grande City, TX) in Mar 2016
Interview
I applied online along with other friends and neither of us got called so I went in person and gave a paper application and I got called two days later for an interview and got called back one day later telling me I am hired. Very easy interview but only complaint is my Co workers. I am a quiet girl and I guess my Co workers didn't like that I focus on my work rather than gossip all day so it made me not very happy with my job. Other than that I loved being employed there.
The interview was part of the process of determining who the appropriate candidate fits the job qualifications. They would note down all interviewees and then make calls to confirm job offer.
The manager or their assistant usually handles the interviews, after a short briefing your duties and pay rate is disclosed. Later, you are supposed to take couple of test from food handling and the alcoholic beverages permit.
