Experiential questions are always good for keeping people on their toes.
Instead of asking something along the lines what customer services skills they have try something like can you give me an actual example where you demonstrated customer service above and beyond what would normally be required.
Or you could go the other route. A mate who’s got a restaurant always asks if you were an animal what would you be and why?
He seems to think it’s a good tension breaker and has had some crackers.

On behalf of spacey I suggest ask her favourite cheese!
Having been applying for grad jobs left right and centre at the mo, the corporate bull questions are very popular, like name an example of this, etc... Pretty bland but at least better than the boring standard stuff. One question i'm dreading is over salary expectations, you don't wanna sell yourself short, but can't get greedy.
