I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Safeway in Jul 2014
Interview
Very typical review, not hard at all. They asked about my qualifications, they asked about my education. They asked some scenario questions as well. All very easy. The interview was in a very scanty looking room with all of the computers.

Question 1
"If someone were to buy a cake, what else would you recommend them to buy?"
I didn't understand the intent of the question at the time. But other than that - very easy interview.
It was fast and easy, very proactive people and organized. On the first day I received the call, and I was happy about it. They hire fast. If in the first 2 weeks you don't receive a call, check again.
Didn't ask any hard questions, just when availability was and if was over 18 (in order to be cashier). Didn't have to wait long to be called into the office.
I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Safeway (Vallejo, CA) in Mar 2023
Interview
When I came in for the interview, I was brought back to the office. We went over previous work scenarios and how I handled them. I was given a choice between two departments. I received an offer letter then and there.
