tier1 tech support positions are pretty much all flowchart/KB-based type things, if you can demonstrate proficiency in that domain it should be enough to get you in. any knowledge/skills you have in addition to what the KB provides is just a bonus as far as employers are concerned, they're more worried about your being able to actually use the resources they provide for walking customers through technical issues.
in summary, your prospects are probably quite good

i should clarify: in the most reductive sense, what that means is, what the interviewer wants to know is this;
"are you retarded? if you are not retarded, can you use a web browser?"

I almost started laughing when they asked me the first question. "What is your favorite article of clothing and why?" what the fuck?
They asked me a bunch of random questions like that. They didn't ask a single computer related question the whole time. I think I did really well though.

I worked there for two and half semesters and quit
after the first semester the boss hooked me up with a summer internship at her friends company. the internship turned into my second job that next fall semester. the stress of having two jobs during school was hard. that next spring i quit the school job to work at the other place.
I've been there for 9 years now

I applied for walmart and target on the same day when I was 16. Target called back first so I also never got sucked up into the walmart machine.

It was actually the walmart that we used to steal from on the regular when we were kids
The neighborhood I grew up in backed up to a shopping center. So we were always causing some kind of ruckus back there
