I applied in-person. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Target (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2012
Interview
They interviewed several several hundred people in one day. They had everyone line outside and fill in an application. If you filled an online application, you could go in first. The interviewer asked why I wanted to work for Target. She asked what I liked about my last job. She asked if I was willing to be a cashier.
