I applied online. I interviewed at Old Navy (Richmond, BC)
Interview
Received a call asking me to come in for a group interview about a week after I applied online. Before the interview officially started, we played a game as an icebreaker. Then we split into 2 groups of 4 and the interviewer started asking us questions. We first wrote down our individual answers, then discussed our answers within our groups. One person from each group would then report the agreed-upon answer to the interviewer. They were pretty standard interview questions. After, the interviewer talked to us individually for a couple of minutes to go over our resume, ask us why we're applying, etc.
Of the 8 in my group that were interviewed, 5 were offered positions. The 5 of us were basically the ones that talked the most/showed the most communication skills. This was for seasonal positions.

Interview
1.) They start with a cold call to see if they like you, if they do, you'll be offered an interview
2.) You'll meet with the store manager and the interview is pretty easy. the only "hard" questions is what your weakness or "opportunities" are. Just use a past fault and explain how you worked hard and perfected the otherwise lacking skill
3.) Depending on your 1st interview, you will receive a call for a 2nd interview which is usually with a surrounding store manager so they can get a different perspective.

Interview
Filled out online application, got a call for a phone interview and went in for group interview. Phone interview was straightforward and introductory, just to see if you could maintain decent conversation. Group interview was held in back room. It was almost classroom style with hand raising and such. There were several occasions in which the interviewer seemed to be baiting for a wrong answer, and a couple of my fellow interviewees fell for it. In my opinion it wasn't too hard to detect, mainly stuck with asking a supervisor for advice or putting the customer first.

Question 1
What would you do when you think a customer is shoplifting? Which celebrity is your style inspiration and why? The rest were basic in the way of job interviews or team building
