Angry and rude customers are a sad reality that retail workers face every day. However, Best Buy expects their employees to treat their customers with kindness, respect, and humility, and this expectation applies to all customers, no matter their disposition.
When dealing with a difficult customer, it is natural to feel stressed, upset, or overwhelmed. Tell the interviewer how you would reign in your feelings while giving the customer the best possible customer service.

"I don't think it's ever okay to treat a customer with disrespect, even if the customer isn't respectful toward me or my coworkers. Everyone has bad days, but integrity means treating every customer with the same kindness, respect, and service. If a customer was directly rude to me, I would continue to be friendly and hospitable but would probably give the customer a little space so they felt more comfortable."

"I believe in being a brand ambassador at work, so I always do my best to meet customers' needs regardless of their attitude. If a customer is rude or aggressive toward me, I treat them with kindness and hospitality. It's never okay to react negatively toward a customer who is upset or having a bad day. Being a brand ambassador sometimes means swallowing your pride when a customer is rude to you."
