Like any retail establishment, loss prevention initiatives are incredibly important for all employees to understand and abide by. The interviewer is attempting to assess the honest level you have. An employee who refuses to protect company assets is not an employee worth hiring. Discuss with the interviewer how you would handle a situation surrounding employee theft. Be sure to avoid sounding self-righteous in your answer. Be diplomatic about how you would relate to another employee.

"My reaction to employee theft would differ if I were a retail associate or a retail manager. If I were a manager and caught an employee stealing, I would terminate them immediately. If I were an associate, I would report the incident according to company protocol. I would avoid approaching the employee as I would not want to make it a personal issue."
