I don't think they turn people away tbh. Just pass the vibe check and you're in. I was asked a very simple math question and the girl asked me some super basic questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Something about change. Like if a customer gave you $5 for something that costs $4.25, what's the change? lol
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Whiting's Foods (Santa Cruz, CA) in Oct 2019
Interview
Availability questions additionally how you would respond to situations that might occur during work like how to respond to customers and how to calculate change during a transaction. Keep a positive attitude and a smile and you will do fine!
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Whiting's Foods (Santa Cruz, CA) in May 2015
Interview
Very short and friendly. They care to see if you're available weekends and holidays, which is pretty much mandatory (you can always request time off). No experience needed, they are looking for enthusiasm and willingness to serve guests.
