I wouldn't take the job. If they call, don't answer. Otherwise, you risk getting found out while you're actually in the job itself. Learn from it, take this as a lesson and figure out what to say next time. I also suggest googling for interview questions and finding out what the best answers to say are....keep it real, sis!

You made a mistake and it sounds like you learned from it. So move on. If they asked you to come in tomorrow then you must have passed the interview. Go meet the head store manager and make it a point to put your best foot forward from here on out. They won't go back to verify your situational interview answers. HR only asks those questions to see how you handled situations in the past. It's supposed to give us an idea of how you would react in the future in a similar situation.

Don't beat yourself up. If you are truly sorry for lying then the guilt is punishment itself. Just make it a point to be honest from here on out. Later in life you can share your nugget of learning with someone else who has to learn this same lesson in the future. Good luck on the job.

Ok, I know that you don't want us to tell you that what you did was wrong, but honestly, why'd you lie? If you never did get in a fight, then you should have just said it.....they can't tell you your lying. Anyways, I think you should just forget about it, and don't tell the person your meeting tomorrow because that will probably loose you the job. I know that you shouldn't lie again, but if you want that job just forget about it and start clean :) Good Luck!

Go and keep quiet about it. If it they bring it up, admit it. The worst that will happen is that you won't get the job. If you don't show up you won't get it anyway.

Your gaff isn't nearly as bad as you think. I have been a hiring manager. It is not normal to check details as of a specific story. When contacting a previous employer, it is standard to check dates of employment, salary history, basic job dutiesm and eligibility for rehire. If any additional questions are asked it is normally questions about reliability, punctuality, and general ability.

It seems you are a person with a conscience. That makes for a decent employee and having learned your lesson, feel free to take the job and skip any additional revelation about the fictitious incident. Your lie could have worked against you by making the manager anxious that you would be looking to get ahead by being a "rat" against him. But it seems it didn't so move on..

I don't recommend either of your strategies.. coming clean or not going back in reality what you did showed creativity and the ability to think on your feet. In theory, you describe a situation that would cause you conflict and how you would resolve it.

Never lie. There is nothing wrong with saying, "We all have disagreements from time to time, but I really can't think of any serious conflicts I've had. I was fortunate to have worked with a great crew at my previous job."

You're over-thinking this! Settle down a bit!

Go in tomorrow, at least give it a shot. If they do ask about it, don't lie again.

IF they contact your old employer, all they can say is "would you hire this person?". They can't ask anything else about what happened or why you left etc etc.

Don't worry about it. They have better things to do than figure out your past, not to mention they won't/don't. I've been a sit in interviewer before and after the applicant left, the interviewer turned to me and said, "she lied about these questions, but whatever.". People make up stuff for interviews all the time. I've dreamed up stories for conflicts and such before too. Don't sweat it.
