I think a difficult question is, "Why do you want to work here." Because they ask it ... like ... "What you just woke up one day and wanted this job? Look at me, I'm dead tired, I worked all week, have little sleep, everyone was late, I'm covered in flour and sweat, I look like hell, everyone's mad at me and my pay s%$ks." Why would you want to come here? After all that, you need to be prepared with a labor of love answer. Look, hard work is nothing new to me. I've heard sir/madam, and correct me if I'm wrong, that if I work here ... I get rewarded. I've worked in the corporate world where everyone is scheming behind peoples' backs to get ahead ... and they are miserable. I have my costs where they need to be that the amount I will be getting paid if hired meets my needs, with no frills (important), and I love serving customers because it makes them happy. Yeah, not everyone, but a lot of people love food so they don't walk in here mad. I've worked in restaurants, and the products aren't as fresh as what you have here, the ham has nitrates in it for their club sandwiches and its a 4 star restaurant, what's that about? Jimmy John's has these policies (that you read online), and that's cool. I don't care about that corporate crap anymore, I wanna come in, do my job and THAT DAY ... is in the books. I don't have to carry around the weight of the next day on my mind, EVERY DAY is a new day, a new challenge. I heard this store has a high volume (or see what accolades that store has or the manager has), that's where I want to be. Frankly, I want a place to dig in and sink my teeth into ... be a part of a team and start reaching the goals we have for weekly profits and kick other stores butt.
