Smart Start (which is actually what I had a bit ago): Be confident in your abilities, but don't overstate. Don't get hung up on what specific questions they might ask, but rehearse to yourself why you will be good at this job. You know what you can do. Own it and no matter what questions they ask you'll have a good answer that's true.

not being able to sometimes have plastic bags would be very annoying to me. (Or paper. Paper would be fine too).

They can use paper here. And that's what you get if you don't bring a bag. Sometimes the paper is even compostable, not just recyclable. You get charged $0.05 for each bag (or they credit you for using your own bag, I can't remember which). I have generally brought my own bag in the past, so it took me awhile to realize they had made the changeover.

I need plastic for dog walking.

My plastic bags fit perfectly in the container we use for used cat litter.

I think the point of the "weakness" question is that if you know anything about the world of work you know it will probably come up, and have some bullshit prepared. It is basically a moron filter. (Note that our President flunked it several years in a row, until someone finally pounded the proper approach into his thick skull.)

And to clarify, I don't think flunking it automatically makes you a moron. But I suspect that is the rationale for including it. I was hypothesizing a mindset for asking the question rather than suggesting the mindset is necessarily right. Except in the case of our President, where it really was an example of idiocy.

I need plastic for dog walking.

Yeah, I reuse any plastic bags I can get my hands on. I also use the larger ones for trash bags. But I admit that if they banned the plastic ones it might be the push I need to commit to switching over to the biodegradable dog bags as I've been meaning to do but never quite managing.

That's the first question I hate - because the best answers are canned answers from a book.

my next favorite ( ha) question is " where do you see yourself in 5 years". I hate questions that I can't really answer. the real answer is that it depends. Any other answer is fake.

There's a local documentary on about Herren's, a now defunct restaurant downtown, and now I'm craving cinnamon rolls. At Herren's, you got a basket of bread with their signature small cinnamon rolls.
