17. What would you do if a coworker asked you to help them steal?
How to Answer
This one should be obvious: an interviewer from a retail job like Target, or any company in general, wants to hear that you won't be involved in unethical situations like stealing. Show the interviewer that you are an ethical, responsible person. It should be obvious that it's never appropriate to be involved in stealing merchandise from the store.

1st Answer Example
"I would never steal from any store, especially my place of work! If a coworker asked me to help them steal, I would absolutely refuse and tell them that I would take the matter directly to my manager -- that's just the right thing to do."

2nd Answer Example
"I once had a coworker who asked me to help them steal, and it was so uncomfortable! I would never steal something for any reason, so it was easy to say no to him. Even though it was hard to tell my manager and know that my coworker would probably get fired, I had to do the right thing."
