I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Safeway (San Jose, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
Interviewer was courteous, not necessarily the most responsive. She asked very typical questions. If you have any experience with interviews and aren't incompetent, then it should be pretty easy and straightforward. Other than that, all the questions could be found on other Glassdoor reviews of Safeway.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: If a customer was buying a birthday cake what three items would you recommend to them?
It was straightforward; I suggest taking some time to refine your experience and expand your vocabulary, so you can respond quickly and with professionalism. They seemed to be a little picky but you should be fine.
asked basic questions and was a very fast interviewing process. I was able to find out within the same day that I got the job, very nice. staff and everyone is friendly.
