      Very easy online test, telephone interview and then a walk around the store looking at the counter and the store pointing out good and bad parts with a manager. Look for stock not being full, messy aisles, fingerprints on glass etc.Very easy online test, telephone interview and then a walk around the store looking at the counter and the store pointing out good and bad parts with a manager. Look for stock not being full, messy aisles, fingerprints on glass, long queues at the checkout, staff not being busy/not being helpful etc.
