What to Bring
Sample Answer:
I shop here regularly and always appreciate the friendly service. I enjoy interacting with people and want a job where I can help customers have a positive experience. This store has a great reputation as an employer.
Pro Tip:
Show knowledge of the store
Sample Answer:
I'd stay calm and work efficiently while maintaining accuracy. I'd acknowledge waiting customers with eye contact and a smile. If possible, I'd call for backup cashiers. I'd apologize for the wait and thank customers for their patience.
Pro Tip:
Show you stay calm under pressure
Sample Answer:
I'd discretely tell them the card didn't go through and ask if they'd like to try another payment method. I'd keep my voice low to avoid embarrassing them. I'd be patient and not make assumptions about why it was declined.
Pro Tip:
Emphasize discretion
Sample Answer:
A customer was looking for a specific item we didn't have in stock. Instead of just saying no, I checked our other locations, found it, and arranged for them to pick it up. They were so grateful they wrote a positive review.
Pro Tip:
Give specific examples
Sample Answer:
I'd listen to their concern, empathize with their frustration, and explain the policy clearly. If I couldn't help within policy, I'd get a manager involved. I'd stay calm and not take it personally.

Show you stay calm
