I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Food Lion (Columbia, SC) in Oct 2013
Interview
it was calm and collective. The manager gets to know you. Nothing complicated. I was sort of nervous, but it wasn't long. Make sure you keep eye contact and smile.

Question 1
Q: Why do you want to work here?
Q: Why should we hire you?
Q: What hours are you available?
The interview was pretty much a regular and easy experienced. I was not asked any questions that were difficult to answer or required much of a thought process beyond common sense.

Question 1
Do you have experience as a cashier and with money?
Straightforward online interview with minimal in person. Questions online, followed up with phone and some final in person admin work. This was a pretty simple process that required very little time and investment on my end.
Came into the store and met with the manager who asked me about myself and my experience, asked a few questions relevant to the job, told me about the job and the onboarding process, asked if I had any questions, then started the necessary hiring paperwork.
