I applied in-person. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Walgreens in May 2008
Interview
First they call you on the phone and have a phone interview, then they will decide if they want a person to person interview, if they do then you will go to a store that they tell you to go to and then you will have an interview asking you about "tell me about a time.." type of questions and then if you pass that you will go to the district manger and interivew for them, then they will decide if you are good enough.

I applied online. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Walgreens in Jun 2008
Interview
Applied online. The store manager contacted me within 5 to 7 days regarding my online interview and I set up an interview date. The interview was brief. I answered a few questions about what to do with difficult customers and demonstrated my skills in basic addition and subtraction in case the register breaks. I got the job on the spot, I just had to pass the background check and the drug test, which I did.

Question 1
What would you do when faced with an irate customer who is causing a scene at the register and you have a line of customers waiting to purchase their items, but the manager is helping another customer?
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Walgreens (Deerfield, IL) in Aug 2007
Interview
It took quite a while to be contacted after I first applied (more than a month). Once I completed my phone interview, I had subsequent in-person interviews. The meetings with the hiring manager and other dept manager focused mostly on my experience. Director and VP interviews were more conversational.
