I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at 7-Eleven (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2016
Interview
met with the manager in store, he seemed pretty cool but kept checking his watch over and over during the interview. Of course the store happened to be pretty busy during that time so we were constantly interrupted as he also stopped occasionally to help at the till when customers were lined up. But at least i knew what i was getting into as I saw the employees having to deal with a mad rush of people in real time.
