I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Subway (San Diego, CA) in Jun 2011
Interview
It was a behavioral interview. It took place within the store setting. I was dressed professionally. It was very relaxed and casual. She asked me about my interests and my school work. She asked what skills I was best at. I told her I was a very clean and sanitary person. I also told her I loved to cook. I mentioned how I have been a customer at Subway for many years and I enjoy their products. It was not a stressful interview. I think as long as you show interest in the job and you show a desire to work there, they will be very happy to give you employment. They want to know your availablitlity schedule. Also if you are under 18 you will need a work permit from your school. It is not a difficult job to attain.
15 minute chat with the manager who told me what was expected of me and the type of candidate they were looking for. Only asked one personality question and the rest was more about Subway.
