Applied and scheduled and interview, drove 45 minutes to the store, and then was eventually told that there was no interview. The position had been filled already but I was not informed until I showed up for an interview.

In my area, at least, you have to apply for the job online via chatbot. Originally, I applied for a location, then decided the drive was too far, so I canceled the job interview and applied for a location closer by. I began to get really confusing e-mails and text messages saying that I needed to update my application and not being clear if it was for the new job or the older one. I received a rejection letter, which I guess was for the older one where I canceled the interview myself. Then I got repeated text messages, after my in-person interview was complete, saying that my application was not complete and to click on a link to complete it, but when I did, the chatbot would only tell me that I had already applied for that position. I later got a second rejection email, and I'm not sure if it was because I was not selected, or because I never completed my application. The online application process was actually even more complicated and difficult than I described above, but I don't know how to explain the rest of my frustrating experience without this being too long and confusing. The interview itself went fine. It was short, and the interviewer was friendly and encouraging.
