What does keeping presentation standards mean to you when you are replenishing a table or a wall?
What they are checking: Whether they see restocking as part of how the store looks, not just filling empty spots.

What they are checking: Whether they have real stamina habits for holiday volume, which is when seasonal help matters most.
Tell me about a time you helped a teammate with something outside your usual job.

What would you do
A big shipment lands on a busy Saturday and the floor team needs help too. How do you decide what to process first?
What they are checking: Whether they can balance receiving work against floor needs instead of just working through boxes in order.
You find a carton that is short three items compared to the packing list. What do you do?

A customer's online order needs to be packed and ready for pickup within the hour. How do you make sure it is right?

A manager asks you to move stock in a way that seems unsafe, like stacking boxes too high. How do you handle it?

About the work
Walk me through how you would process an inbound shipment from the truck to the sales floor.
What they are checking: Whether they understand counting, checking against paperwork, tagging and moving product before it sits in the back.
How would you keep a stock room organized so anyone on the team could find a size in under a minute?
What they are checking: Whether they think in systems like sizing order and labeled zones rather than relying on memory.
