Likely interview questions for this role

Written from this job description, not a generic list. Each one notes what the interviewer is really checking.

About your past

General Merchandise teams handle replenishment, pricing and signing, setting, and keeping the floor and backroom in shape. Which of those have you done before, and which would be new?

What they are checking: Whether they are honest about their experience so leaders know where to start training.

Tell me about a time you had a long list of tasks and limited time. How did you decide what to do first?

What they are checking: Whether they can prioritize a daily and weekly workload instead of just doing whatever is easiest.

Tell me about a time you noticed something that could be done faster or better at work. What did you do?

What they are checking: Whether they think about process efficiency, which the posting lists as a skill the role builds.

What would you do

On a closing shift you have to recover the floor so the morning crew starts clean. How would you work through a department that guests have torn apart?

What they are checking: Whether they have a system for zoning and recovery rather than wandering, since closing time is fixed.

If you were working Food Service or Starbucks, how would you handle a drink or food order you made wrong?

What they are checking: Whether they own mistakes quickly and fix them without making the guest feel like a bother.

You find a refrigerated product that was left out on the floor. What do you do?

What they are checking: Whether they understand food safety enough to pull the item instead of putting it back in the cooler.

You're in the middle of stocking and a guest needs help finding something. How do you handle both?

What they are checking: Whether they put the guest first while still finishing their workload, which the posting calls blending tasks.

Inbound, closing and Starbucks all have very different hours. Which shifts work for you, and how firm is that?

What they are checking: Whether their availability matches the area they would be placed in, avoiding no-shows later.

About the work

In Food and Beverage you check dates and rotate product. What does first in, first out mean, and why does it matter?

What they are checking: Whether they know basic stock rotation, which keeps food fresh and safe and cuts waste.

How would you make sure the price on a shelf sign actually matches what's in the system?

What they are checking: Whether they care about price accuracy, which affects every guest at checkout and every audit.
