I like to hear people ask me about advancement opportunities, I hire people who are motivated to get to the next level, and that are not 'just there for the paycheck'.
People who ask me about the benefits in detail, then again I know if I have a keeper who's long term interested, or just collecting a paycheck.
The expectations of the job, what are my duties..again detail that shows interest.
I also like to hear folks ask about the history of the company and ask what our direction is. This indicates questions about mobility, movement and direction. Both for the company and the associate...do they gel well.
Make sure that you ask questions about days off and required days to work to make sure that there are no conflicts in the scheduling. I'll ask you if you don't ask me for certain.
No one wants someone who cannot show up to work. That's why we have a 90 day period of adjustment and observation of ability to perform the task.
Bottom line is no one wants to hire 'just a body' anymore. There is plenty of competition. I'll interview 50 people for a customer sevice position if I have to.
I hope this helps. Think about being pro active. That's the goal.

Ask a questions that shows you've done some research on the company - or at least something related to what you have been talking about. It is also good to use the interviewer's name and to ask what the next step in the hiring process is, and when a decision will be made.

I am very interested in this position. Is there any area where you think I might be lacking some qualifications for this position?
(this allows you to set the record straight, if they think you are missing something)
I've looked online at your corporate web site, however, can you tell me the size and recent growth of the company?
What type of promotion opportunities do you provide here?

Say, "Does (company) provide tuition benefits? I'd like to keep current with new developments (technology) and eventually move up to a more responsible position."

How soon do you look to fill the position I'm applying for? I'd like to give my current employer sufficient notice to fill my position if I'm selected.
