I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Waitrose (London, England) in Jun 2017
Interview
First there was a group interview. We first filled out application forms like our preferred store and date we could would and our details and that.
Next we were taken into another room in groups of around 6/8 (the people sat at the same table) given a list of items that they sell including price and a few key ingredients and another list full of customers and descriptions of either specific items they were looking for or asking for recommendations.
As a group we were then given like 5 minutes to assign 1 item to each person while 2 assessors sat in the room and observed us. After that we had to explain why we chose each item for said person. The main idea is that you were active in the discussion and putting your ideas forward while working as a team.
Afterwards it was 1:1 interviews

It was a group interview with around 8 people. There was some role play in groups of 2, as well as questions that work asked for each individual to answer. Always ask a good question (This will help set you apart from the crowd)
