Macy's Sales Associate interview questions

Completed the hundreds of questions personality test on-line and again in-store on the day of interview. Interviewer was more than 30 minutes late for the 11 AM interview; failed to apologize for her tardiness. She repeated the same questions already answered twice. It was insulting and a total waste of my time. Interviewer stated that she would definitely recommend me for a second interview. I never heard back from her or anyone else. More interesting info, while cooling my jets in HR waiting for the interviewer, an employee from the housegoods department complained to associates that Macy's needs to do a better job of competing on mattress prices!

Filled out an application online, within a week got an email to schedule interview online, arrived at human resources. The interview was not at my scheduled time because there were a number of people waiting. Filled another application (seemed repetitious to me but it was required even though I already filled out something similiar at home). The interviewer read a set of questions from a sheet. The interview was pleasant, and I felt comfortable. The interviewer asked general questions. (How would you deal with a difficult customer, what would you do if someone put money from cash register in their pocket?). I was also asked about my availability. One question that stood out was, "Sell me your outfit." I was hired the same day, and interviewer and HR staff did a good job of going through the paperwork. Orientation was scheduled. I also had to schedule a day to watch videos. The HR staff was professional and had good communication skills. Orientation was informative.
