I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Best Buy (Clackamas, OR) in Nov 2013
Interview
Open call. Then three phase interview. Three managers interviewed me and all asked basically the same questions. After the interview process, it took them 2 weeks to get my background check and drug screening back. I was hired the week of Thanksgiving and only had 3 days of training before Black Friday. Failure on their part. Fortunately, I had 12 years of sales experience and handled that day like a champ.

Question 1
Sometimes a customer can get upset. Tell me about a time that you handled an unruly customer and how you were able to help them calm down and help them leave happy.
I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Best Buy (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2012
Interview
I enjoyed my interviews with the staff at Best Buy however there were several. The managers were okay but I would have liked to have just one interview for retail sales associate. Also, after two interviews I had to go and take a drug test. Otherwise everything was pretty okay.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Best Buy (Auburn, CA) in Jun 2014
Interview
Took me into a back room and had me interview with 2 people. They were really friendly and kept telling me how perfect I would be for the job. Sadly I never got a call by "Tuesday" and I had to call 4 days in a row to talk to the hiring manager, who said they just decided not to hire anyone at all.

Question 1
Pretty much everything was standard, but they also asked me why I loved technology, etc.
