Lowe's Home Improvement interview questions

They called for an interview, and when I went in it was very casual. However, the interview was awkward because they read questions off of a paper and wrote my answers down. It felt very impersonal. I interviewed with the HR manager and then the manager of the department I was applying for. They called back a week later and told me my salary and asked if I would like the job. They ran a background check and then a drug screen.

I applied online (nearly every position must be initially applied for online) and received a phone call from HR 5 days later. We chatted briefly, mostly small talk, and set up an interview for the next day. The first interview was one-on-one with the HR manager and lasted about 45 minutes. The questions were straight forward: tell me about yourself, what are strengths/weaknesses, why do you want to work for Lowes. Six or seven questions involved "Tell me about a time when........." and "Describe a situation in previous jobs were you.......". Since this is a retail operation most questions were related to dealing with customers. After the interview we scheduled a second interview for 3 days later. The second interview was also one-on-one with the Assistant Store Manager and also lasted about 45 minutes. I was again asked "Why Lowes?" and then asked more "Describe a situatiuon where...." and "Tell me a time when...." but was also asked to describe in detail what happened after you took the specific action and would you handle the situation the same the next time. I was contacted a week later with a job offer.
