Had a group online interview and I felt it was very hard to get any point across and it felt very over the top and the process seemed too long for what the job actually was

Online questions

In-person interview 1 (area manager)
In-person interview 2 (area manager)
In-person interview 3 (store manager)
Rejected with no feedback. Asked for feedback, I was given a Copy-paste feedback from an Aldi HR member who was not involved in my interview.
You might be wondering why there are 2 area manager interviews for my application process. This is because Aldi sent me approximately 100 miles from the store where I applied for an interview with an area manager. I emailed the same day that I was assigned this stupid location for the interview. Yet again I was given a copy-paste response along the lines of "we are looking into it". After approximately a week since that email, I've concluded that they expect me to attend said interview 100 miles away. I emailed again asking if they could reimburse me for my travel expenses for the interview as the location is very far away. The response I get is that they will not reimburse me for my travel. On the day of the area manager interview. I got a call from the area manager, 20 minutes before my interview, explaining that it was a mistake that my interview was assigned so far away. I found this phone call very insightful and helpful since I was already at his store waiting to be interviewed. We did the interview together. I thought the interview went well. I got an email shortly after finishing that interview inviting me to another interview. Turns out that despite my attending an area manager interview once, they are assigning me another area manager interview with the store I originally applied for.

Started as a group where we were educated on the history and benefits about working at ALDI, and were asked what we think working at ALDI is like. Seemed like a good company with fair pay. The individual interview itself only asked availability.
I was first givwn the opportunity to join a group assessment, which I passed. I was then asked to attend a face-to-face interview, in-store but the manager did not come into work that day and I was asked to rearrange the interview after waiting for over an hour. Another applicant also turned uo and waited 30 minutes after I arrived
