I absolutely joke with the interviewer by saying I like being able to pay my bills. It always gets a laugh, and then I go into fake reason I want to work there.
As an interview I always ask, “why here? I mean other than to pay your bills, you didn’t apply to a charity.” Always gets a laugh and then they generally give me an honest, decent reason.
We never ask to hear, “because bills.” We aren’t as stupid as you think we are. Some people actually nail this question, others don’t attempt. You can’t try? Why the hell do you think you’d be a good fit? I can hire more motivated people that will do better in the long run.
Interviewing is a skill like any other. Some people are great at it, others suck because they don’t understand what it’s for. Most fall in the later category since they miss the point entirely.

I’ll use something real that I like about them, but to be clear, it’s still 99.9% money and 0.1% that other thing lol
