I applied in-person. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at PDQ Food Stores (Madison, WI) in Aug 2012
Interview
I went in to the convenience store around 2 am one morning to buy an energy drink. The manager was working as they had recently lost a third shifter. I filled out the app right there, had an interview a few days later which took over an hour and a half, 75% of which was talking about schedules. a week later I was offered the job!
