and around the end, the potential employer asks you "Do you have any questions?", what should you ask?
My last interview, I showed up 15 minutes early, I researched the company, I showed confidence and answered everything with said confidence. I breezed through the rollplay, say if I were an employee, and basically did a good job overall. The employer was very impressed, and thought I made a great effort during the meeting.
However, they asked me if I had any questions around the end of the interview, I didn't have any, it was hard to think of any since I felt pretty much everything was covered already.
She said she'd phone today, but since it's a holiday I'll leave it for Tuesday just in case.
Did I screw up by having no questions to ask? I'm frankly nervous as shit that I won't be able to find a job if no one calls me back despite giving my absolute best during interviews.

You should come up with questions from the research you did. Even if you already know the answer, ask anyways.
You know how some students ask teachers questions just to show they know something? That's kind of what you should do in an interview. Don't ask something that has an obvious response, but ask something that will show that you've already done some research and that you're curious about the company.

You yell in a loud, ignorant sounding voice,
"WHEN DO I START?"
But yeah, Valk covered the basics.

If you left a good impression (which it sounds like you did) you should be fine. I've only had 2 interviews in my life and I got the job both times. I think I never asked a question for CVS, but for Starbucks I just asked about the dress code (which I already knew the answer too because I had researched and I even wore a black collared shirt+ khaki pants + black shoes for the interview aka their dress code).
