Interview
I applied the job online. First I was looking for the membership assistant and cashier position. The location is in Bay Area, CA. In about 2 weeks, I got a call from a supervisor who works in Foster city, CA. He said they don't have a full time position available yet, and asked if I would be interested about the part time "Sales" position. It would guaranteed to have at least 24 hours a week. Therefore, I said yes!
On that day, I dressed up as business causal. And I first met with the supervisor who I spoke with over the phone. Then, he took me to a table outside of the warehouse. He started to go over what was the job responsibilities were as a "Sales". He was holding my job experience paper, which I uploaded to the Web and he went over and asked me questions about each of them.
That process took about like 15-20 mins, then he called up another manager to see me. At that time, that manager just sat there without saying a word, and the supervisor started to ask me some situational questions (see below). He was reading them from a piece of paper.
The job hourly wage was $11.50, I expected more with my experience and college degree.
After 3 days, I got the call back from the supervisor and he offered me the job, however, I didn't take it.
I applied in-person. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2015

Interview
Sat in break room for 5 minutes, while both managers eating in front of you, until interview started late. One manager stared you down with questions while the other one has their back turned to you and not saying a word the whole time. Then sent a turn down email as soon as you walk out the door.
