I applied online. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Dollar General in Apr 2014
Interview
It was really really lax. I applied online and literally maybe the next day, if not the day after that, I was called in for an interview. I went in for an interview maybe 2 days later. I was interviewed by the Assistant Store Manager and The office manager. They asked me a few simple questions about myself, and my availability. I told them I was a student, and about my one and only past job. They asked me some scenario questions and then a math question.
Once I was finished with the interview, the ASM looked pleased and told me on my way out that they would call me tomorrow or the day after to schedule my training. I was called the next day and started right away just because it was quick and convenient and the first place I heard back from.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
What would I do if a customer asked me where something was and I didn't know?
A simple math question about change. If a customer's total was $8.17 and they give you $10.00 and you punch in the register $10.00 but then the customer adds a quarter after the register calculates it, what would their new total be?

The manager asked me to describe myself to her and where I saw myself in 5 years.I told her I wanted to be in the Management and work my way up. This seemed to really please her and she said that was what she was waiting to hear.
