I applied for a part time customer assistant job only to get there and be told that role was filled, and the only thing left was a full time bakery job. The manager was also very rushed in interviewing me and didn't ask many questions about me. I wasted £10 on the commute for that awful experience...
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Ealing, England)
Interview
Experience related questions were asked. Situational questions, Availability, right to work in UK, Shift timings discussed, Hours needed per week discussed. Benefits with employment told, Cash handling and till experience asked.
I interviewed at Marks & Spencer (Milton Keynes, England)
Interview
Initially went and the last candidate overran (i waited for 40 minutes extra) so my interview got moved to next week. Original interviewer wasn't available so a colleague performed it. They could not find the interview sheet so had to come up with questions on the spot and get my details again. I was a bit annoyed but I think the interview was okay.

What would you do if you have been given a task but a long queue is building up at tills, and there is only one colleague serving?
Quite informal, mostly asking about my reasons for applying to them specifically - I recommend looking at their welfare and environmental status, and the fact that their brand is associated with higher quality food
