I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Dollar General (Brown Deer, WI) in Nov 2012
Interview
Well I applied to dollar general a few weeks ago and I got a call to schedule an interview. I went in and the manger ( I think) brought me into his office and asked me a few simple questions. He stressed open availed because the store can stay open late. Overall it was simple interview not as difficult as I thought it would be.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you think honesty means?
How do you describe great customer service?
Are self motivation means to you? (err it's like are you the type of person to pick up clothing or item on the floor or see a spill and clean it without being told. )
Do you have an open schedule? ( He stressed open availability because the store can stay open until 3 am.
What did you do at your last or current job?
I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at Dollar General (Campobello, SC) in Jun 2011
Interview
Attaining an interview was a swift process by telephone, but first I had to complete an application printed from online and bring it in. At the interview, we discussed my purposes in applying to work there (for me it was a summer job before I went off to college), how I deal with people, the number of hours I could expect to work (everyone is part-time except for managers), and the non-negotiable hourly rate of pay. I completed some online tests for training at another Dollar General location because the computer system was out of order. The manager said she would call me when I could work, and in fact called me a few days later asking me to come in later that afternoon. The short notice was difficult because they do not provide uniforms; you must purchase your own yellow/black shirt and black pants. Seeing that I had no plain yellow or black shirts, I had to settle on the only one I could find in that short time. I was then ridiculed for not wearing something with a collar. Otherwise, the first day of training was alright.

Question 1
The most difficult question for me was about the pay. This being my first real job, I expected them to tell me how much I would be paid to start out. Nevertheless, my request would not have mattered because they were going to pay me minimum wage as a part-time employee.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Dollar General (Glendale, AZ) in Sep 2012
Interview
I applied online at DollarGeneral.com and they contacted me a few weeks later by phone telling me that I had an interview. I went in for the interview and the manager only asked me if I was in school and I was hired. Then she just told me a little about the job and I went home to fill out paperwork. A week later I started. :)

Question 1
There honestly weren't any hard questions. It was just about my life/availability in general.
