The interviewer wants to determine whether you recognize what Whole Foods strives to offer their customers. John Mackey, the cofounder of Whole Foods, once said, "Customers want high-quality food, good service, and good store experience, and most retailers fail to deliver on those." Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon, Whole Foods Market's parent company, said, "We start with what the customer needs and we work backwards." To help them understand why you are a good fit, you need to know why you are a good fit for this job and that requires knowing everything you can about the job and the company.

"Customer service to me means making their experience shine from the second they set foot in the landing zone to when they are enjoying the groceries they have unpacked at home. It is about welcoming them into your store, as if inviting a guest into your living room. It is about sharing your enthusiasm and passion for your offerings, anticipating their needs, and leaving a lasting positive impression long after."

The very nature of our livelihood demands that we give our customers the highest possible level of customer service. Maintaining a high level of customer service is the very foundation upon which our projects are built. Therefore, I know of no other way to work.
