Futureshop are a bunch of weasels.... I applied there and some of the questions they asked were unbelievable... the entire interview was basically 20 questions asking "Have you ever screwed your future employer out of money?" They are a paranoid bunch over there and I even declined their offer to be hired because of their ways. and I even responded telling them that their company are a bunch of snakes from what i've seen as a customer and I refuse to work for them.
I still buy from there, but I do not deal with their staff.

I'm working for a company that helps its clients in the design and setup of thier pre hiring and onboarding procedures and honestly I can't blame companies for asking these questions.
For the most part, its getting tougher to trust people in an interview because people can misrepresent themselves so smoothly now.
The intensity and thoroughness of companies hiring practices are really being ramped up due to the costs of hiring a person and getting them up to speed.
If you think about this the average cost of hiring and training a person is $13,500 minimum, and if you hire somebody thats not a great fit thats money thats lost.
Its going to get a lot harder for people to sneak thier way into jobs that they have no right to fit into.
You can also expect that a lot of the larger companies are going to insist on a tight background check as well as multiple references before they even think about extending an offer.
Paranoid, nah, you have to look at thier past hiring histories.
