Waitrose interview questions

It started with a series of individual interviews, in which I was asked to talk about myself and what my nearest public transport stations were among other things. Following this I was returned to the rest of the interviewees for a group interview. We were split into teams of six and each given a John Lewis or Waitrose Product, and collectively given a sheet with four different customers on it filling different profiles of common shoppers. One Vegetarian, one family, one couple who hated cooking, and one man hosting a party (more on the last one later). We then had to decide which product fitted which customer, and 'sell' the products to one of the interviewers posing as each customer in order. We were directly rated according to how well we spoke to the interviewer, as well as how well we'd worked with the team previously. After some explanations on what the role entailed, the interview was then ended.
