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."

I would ensure to the customer that the policies are in place for a reason but in special situations things can be accepted. Keeping a calm manner is always important to me. Generally, I would never allow for a customer to leave upset by the dispute. As a customer service rep, I would recommend my supervisor for a better take on disputes I cannot control.

Rachelle's Feedback
Escalating situations to your supervisor is a smart move if the situation becomes one that you are not comfortable handling. If you have any dispute resolution or objection training, this is a great time to mention it. If you have a story of a time when you handled a customer dispute regarding a return policy, you could also tell a brief story.
