As a retail employee, you will come across customers who want to argue with store policy. Assure the interviewer that you can handle a situation like this with poise while keeping the customer happy, and keeping the needs of the company in mind as well.

"Return policies are meant to be followed; however, there may be some exceptions allowed from time to time. I feel that having a satisfied customer is most important and sometimes refusing a return is not worth the bad word of mouth or risk of negative online review. There is a fine balance between being accommodating and being a pushover. If I were unsure of the best decision, I would ask my supervisor for clarification."

While following a company's return policy is important, there are situations that require flexibility and this may be one of them. It may not be worth risking a negative customer experience for a return. Bad experiences are talked about more often than good ones. If I was unsure which decision to make, I would ask my supervisor for guidance.
