I would select Alex to be the Interim Store Manager. This is because there is already experienced in working in a store under a store manager. Therefore, she would already be well acquainted with most of the duties and responsibilities of a store manager. Her aspiration to be a store manager can be fulfilled by her after becoming more experienced. If Alex is working in a store, this implies that she is already qualified to work in a store. That is why she could gather experience. Though Bennet is also experienced, there has to be time taken by him to attend college until the completion of his graduation.
