I applied online. I interviewed at Astor Wines and Spirits (New York, NY)

I had a phone interview with one of the buyers who I'd be assisting. A few weeks later they brought me in for in interview with two buyers and the COO.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked about my personal finances and habits related to spending. i.e. Do I know what percentage of my income goes to dining out etc. (Ive been unemployed for some time) - NOT appropriate! This interview has to be one of the worst experiences I've had in my job search.
I applied in-person. I interviewed at Astor Wines and Spirits in Feb 2010
Interview
One interview with 2 shifts of training. Many things to learn each shift. Coming from working mostly in restaurants as a bartender, they found it odd to switch to retail.
