Waitrose's core values are mentioned on its website and mentioned here: 'As co-owners we all have a share in the business and a shared commitment to go above and beyond for each other and our customers. We have a set of five values that were created by Partners, for Partners, to explain what it means to be a Partner and what makes a great one. They also guide our commitment to empower all Partners who work here, whichever part of the business they work in:

DO RIGHT: We act with integrity and use our judgement to do the right thing.

ALL OR NOTHING: We put everything we have into everything we do.

GIVE MORE THAN YOU TAKE: We put more in, so everyone gets more out.

BE YOURSELF. ALWAYS: We're quirky, proud and at our best when we are free to be ourselves.

WE NOT ME: When we work together anything is possible.

Be sure to memorize these values before your interview so you can answer this question with ease.
