1. What do you know about our store? This is a great question to see if the candidate can think on their feet. They may have never been or heard of your store yet they are applying for a job. What did they pick up while they were inside? Did they notice anything at all? Don't expect lengthy answers but look for some key details to be mentioned.
2. In one sentence, tell me what good customer service means to you. Great questions that will reveal how they think about customers. If you are in retail, customer service should be your number 1 priority.
3. Why do you want to work here? This is a great open ended question that can bring about some interesting answers. Look for a thoughtfully crafted response as opposed to "I need money!".
