QUESTION 11 OF 32

Working in a retail environment, you will sometimes come across rude customers. How would you handle a customer who is aggressive towards you or a co-worker?

In a service-focused job like a sales associate position at Petco, you will likely encounter customers who make your job less than pleasant. In retail, it's important to maintain a cheerful, calm demeanor even when dealing with angry or frustrated customers. Describe any experience you have dealing with unruly customers or talk about how you imagine you would deal with a negative customer experience.

"I know that customers are just people like the rest of us -- sometimes we all have bad days! If a customer was upset, I would be sure that they felt heard and understood, and then I would let them know that I would do everything I could to address their concerns. Sometimes people just need to know that their problems are important to someone else. I would be sure to maintain my cheerful disposition and positive attitude about the problem."
