The basics: about me, about my resume, why I wanted to work at Barnes and Noble. The most important questions he asked seemed to gauge my customer service skills (what would I do in a bad situation with a customer) and my general demeanor (can I handle stress? etc).

They made a lot of fuss about me having a degree, and assumed that I was going to be arrogant or pushy about things because of it. They asked over and over again what my experience in food services/customer service actually was, when it was clearly demonstrated on my resume with 3 different positions spanning a total of 6 years. Even after I finished describing my experience, they still would not let go of why someone with a degree was seeking a part-time job in their store, and told me flat out that my "education would not get me a raise", which is something I never brought up!
