Interview
I love Whole Foods and their CEO and founder, John Mackey, so I was hopeful about this interview. However, this was honestly the weirdest interview I have ever had. They were interviewing about 20 other people for multiple positions throughout the store, so all the store managers were present. They started off by asking us questions about ourselves. Then we were placed into groups where we had to act out certain scenarios. If I recall correctly, my group's scenario was a free sample booth for rice cereal.
Then ... we had to make a song and dance about rice cereal. And perform it in front of all the store managers and other interviewees.

Interview
Very easy process. One of the better experiences I’ve had. A few standard interview questions were ask, but the rest was conversational for most part. Wasn’t stressful or anything like that.

Interview
A simple process of an initial screening over the phone with basic questions such as "when you can start" and "how do you plan on getting to and from work" and then meeting the supervisor in person to be interviewed with standard customer service role questions.

This interview was a very streamlined, efficient process. It was a typical behavioral style interview asking about reactions from various scenarios. The interviewer was very professional and respectful of my time and it didn't take more than 20 minutes.
