We have had concerns with employee theft recently. What would you do if you caught an employee or co-worker stealing?
This question allows the interviewer to discover more about your character. It's not uncommon for ethical dilemmas in the workplace to come up from time to time, so speak openly about any relevant experiences you've had dealing with this type of situation. Think carefully about your answer, as it will leave a strong impression. Demonstrate your ability to follow a company policy for this type of issue and your commitment to honesty, integrity, and loyalty to Aldi. If you don't have any work-related examples, consider a time in your personal life when you "did the right thing."
"I have never run into this exact issue before, but I had a similar situation in college where a student often cheated on exams. This was unfair to those students studying and working hard to earn good grades, and it was against my school's policy, so I did report it to my professor. If I caught a co-worker stealing, I would follow the same process and report it to my manager immediately. I assume Aldi has an internal policy addressing this matter, so I would be sure to familiarize myself with it so I would know what to do in this circumstance."
"If I caught an employee stealing, I would report the incident immediately. As a previous manager, I understand the value of employee honesty and the damage that this could cause for the company. I know every company is different, so I would familiarize myself with the Aldi disciplinary process to address this issue as well."
