I worked for B&Q for two years.
After a break to go off to university, I came back to my home town. Unemployed and desperate for any kind of work to bring in money, I ventured back to be told that interviews were now conducted over the phone by Head Office, using an automated system.
Six button presses on multiple choice customer service-related questions later, the recorded voice informed me that I was unsuitable for employment by B&Q. I guess the local managers were just too lazy to sack me during those two years ...

You may laugh, but I once had an interview at Tescos back before they started working the slave trade
When I arrived they told me they'd lost my pre-interview suitability form thing and asked if I'd mind filling in another. It was just a multiple choice affair so I filled it in fairly rapidly. The "interviewer" then pulled out some clear plastic which circled all the right answers, put it over the questionnairre, added up my score and told me that the bit of paper said I was completely unsuitable for working at Tescos and would I please leave. And that was the only time I have been escorted from a shop.

Those clear plastic sheets are probably sold on eBay by disgruntled former HR staff :)
