I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Costco Wholesale (Yorba Linda, CA) in Nov 2011
Interview
The interview is basic, they just ask personality questions. They want you to be a good team player, have outstanding member service, and be a hard worker. Safety is important to Costco as well. I believe being friendly and personable in the interview helped me as well.

Question 1
