Many years ago, I had to complete a long personality inventory AND about 45 minutes of "what would you do"-type scenario simulations to apply for a job at...Kmart!

Then the manager no-showed when I came in for the interview.

Retail applications have gotten lazy recently. I put one in, and they wanted a recorded interview. No one on the other side, I was expected to just awkwardly record myself answering some questions and send it in.

I was asked to do that for a state government job that paid above market, so it's not just retail. It was awkward and I would probably decline to do it again unless for some reason I still really wanted the job.
