No matter the industry, you will always come across customers who are impatient, do not like to wait, and act as a disturbance to others. Do you have any training in customer dispute resolution? Perhaps you have handled a situation like this before? Assure the interviewer that you are capable of professionally, and maturely, handing a situation like this.

"I have had my fair share of customer dispute resolution from previous roles in retail and restaurants. When a customer is impatient, angry, or an overall disturbance I will politely ask them to calm their voice and have a productive conversation with me so that I can help them to achieve what they want. This generally diffuses the situation."

"If I cannot calm an upset customer down, I will call my supervisor or security - depending on the severity of the customers' actions. If I were the manager and could not calm the customer down, I would ask them to leave. I understand that the customer comes first; however, not at the cost of an enjoyable environment for other visitors."
