I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Richland, WA) in Oct 2014
Interview
An initial phone interview with an HR Associate followed by the Regional Pharmacy Manager in the store. The phone interview was around 10-15 minutes and he asked questions about my employment history, why I had left previous jobs, etc. The in person interview was just a series of situational questions- around 6 scenarios.

Interview
The interviewing process was entirely based around the retail aspects of the store when I was applying to a pharmacy position. The one has somewhat to do with the other, but no pharmacy questions at all is weird.

Whether I had customer service experience in a retail setting.
