Speedway interview questions

I walk in and asked for the manager as I have a job interview, she let's me into the back and to the managers office, I get a quick few questions about what hours i'm interested in and other basics, then was told that they aren't actually hiring, but their higher ups ask them to keep them open so that people still apply in case they ever need someone

I submitted my resume, completed a brief phone screen with HR, underwent a technical assessment, followed by two rounds of video interviews with the team, culminating in a final offer negotiation.
