I applied in-person. I interviewed at Trader Joe's (Boston, MA) in Jan 2021
Interview
I handed in an application and was interviewed on the spot. They asked me what I liked about Trader Joe's and why I wanted to work there. The crew captain was pretty friendly.

Question 1
what do you like about trader joe's
why do you want to work at trader joe's
It's two to three interviews, the final with the Captain (or highest manager) of the store. The interviews are largely to get to know your personality and how well you would do at customer service.
The interview process was absolutely wonderful! I didn't feel stressed or nervous and it felt like I was just chatting with a friend! Trader Joes is a great company and the interview was great.
Very chill, asked things a lot of job interviews don't, more personal down to earth questions. Made me feel very comfortable. Professional but also cool vibes from everyone who interviewed me. Went to one interview with mates and another with the captain.
