At CVS Pharmacy, customer service always comes first. The CVS customer expects to be greeted by helpful, positive employees who do their best to help them find exactly what they're looking for. Display to the interviewer that you can do more than the bare minimum. Show that you can react appropriately when you see that your employer has a need that goes beyond your usual day-to-day expectations.
Some examples of going above and beyond include providing personalized recommendations to customers, offering additional assistance with product selection and sizing, and ensuring a seamless checkout process. Retail employees can also exceed expectations by providing exceptional customer service, such as greeting customers with a warm welcome and a smile and promptly addressing any concerns or issues that may arise. Going the extra mile by following up with customers after their purchase or providing additional resources or information can also leave a lasting impression and foster a loyal customer base.

"Last week, I noticed my manager had not completed the schedule for the following week. Some of the staff were complaining that they didn't have their work schedule yet. Rather than going to my manager with the complaint, I offered to take on some of her workload so she would have the time to complete the schedule. We worked together for a couple of overtime hours that day and were able to catch her up on everything. It felt good to help but also benefited me by way of organization."

"Just yesterday, I had a customer make a purchase and noticed that she was struggling with her belongings. She had a stroller, a couple of kids, and a lot of bags to carry. I offered to help her to her car, and she gratefully accepted. It felt excellent to go above the call of duty that day."
