I applied online. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Nanuet, NY) in Jun 2013
Interview
To work here, typically you have to know an employee there. That is because Costco is really a family atmosphere. During the Interview for Front End Cashier, they tell you that you will be pushing carts. Everything is pretty straight forward during the interview. Just have to know they will put you to work.

Question 1
How would you handle a situation when a customer is upset at you and it's been a long day?
I had 2 rounds of interviews with 3 managers. Only took about 1 hour per each one. Asked basic questions on why I would want the job. And how to handle the job.
It was very straight forward. I ended up getting the job. The interviewer was really nice, and it was a smooth hiring process. I have been working here a long time now, and I love it.
