QUESTION 16 OF 30

How would you deal with an angry customer while you were busy completing tasks?

In a retail position at Target, customers are always the priority. Be sure to tell the interviewer that you know positive customer-interactions are the most important part of your job and describe how you would handle a frustrated customer. The interviewer wants to hear that customers come before other tasks. Be sure to mention that once you have the customer on their way you would go back to working on your task.

"Retail work is all about making customers happy, so I would immediately stop what I was doing and listen to the customer. They just want to know their complaints and frustrations are being heard like the rest of us, so I would be sure to ask questions, make eye-contact, and repeat information back to the customer so they know I'm really listening. If I couldn't immediately solve the customer's problem, I would work with another team-member or manager to make sure the customer leaves the store feeling happy -- and with a positive story to tell their friends about shopping at Target."
