Example Answer

"I think any company that truly puts its customers' needs first -- not just in word, but in action -- is already a step ahead of their competitors. From what I've seen as a shopper at Home Bargains, customer satisfaction is truly a guarantee. I've talked to some of your employees, and they all agree that this is a great place to work and they feel like they're really a part of a team, and several of them pointed out that they think that the success of their store is really dependent on the teamwork and positive atmosphere. That's what I think really makes Home Bargains stand out from the rest of the industry."
