QUESTION 39 OF 65

Best Buy employees are not allowed to resell items purchased with their employee discount. What would you do if you discovered a coworker breaking this rule?

One of the many perks for Best Buy employees is their generous employee discount on a wide selection of their merchandise, but employees are strictly prohibited from reselling items that they've purchased with their discount for a profit. Best Buy not only wants to hire employees who act with integrity themselves; they want to hire people who will hold their coworkers accountable for their actions. Talk to the interviewer about how you would respond if you suspected or discovered that a coworker was abusing their employee discount.

"I want my managers to be able to trust me, so I would immediately take the issue to my manager or supervisor as soon as I discovered a coworker behaving in this way. Abusing the employee discount equates to stealing from the store, and I have a huge problem with that."

"If I only suspected that my coworker was abusing their discount, I would probably approach them and ask directly. If they confirmed or denied it, but I wasn't convinced they were telling the truth, I would go directly to my manager and let her know. I don't think that kind of lack of respect and character has any place at work."

"I would bring this to the attention of my manager. It isn't fair for an employee to abuse company policy, which is essentially theft in this case."
