Lowe's Home Improvement interview questions

Initial communication was through a regional HR manager. Interview was conducted by the District Manager and the local HR person. It consisted of 15 or so questions regarding possible responses in differnet scenarios. They were looking for skills and abilities in specific situations i.e. Tell me about a time when you were faced with a difficult and challenging situation, what do you do to overcome, resolve etc.

Had three interviews with three separate people. Human Resource manager, Admin Manager, Store Manager. Was not given any consideration even though I had been at the location two years longer than the most seasoned applicant. When told I wasn't selected all the store manager offered me was "You weren't my first choice." and that they were looking for the answer of 'time management' to the question of "What do you think is needed to survive in retail?" This new interview process is confusing and time consuming. None of the management seems to be happy about it.
