Always, every time.
"Why do you want to work here?"

"Because you have an opening, and the pay looks commensurate for the responsibilities. So far, the role looks like a good mutual fit. But I'm going to need more details to ensure we're good for each other."

I have the ability to do the job you require and am willing to do it in the listed times for the price stated. Let's get this going.

I bloody hate having to be all "yeah im really passionate about mopping floors at 6am? There's nothing I love more than getting yelled at by customers."

It frustrates me because having to suck them off like that is the only technique that works because why don't interviewers see straight through it? Their entire purpose at that point is to hire the best guy for the job, and consistently they just fall for bullshit.
