One of Whole Foods Market's core values is "We Satisfy and Delight Our Customers." Therefore, your interviewer is trying to determine how familiar you are with their core values, and how you would define delightful customer service. They define delightful customer service in the following core value statement: "We create store environments that are inviting, fun, unique, comfortable, attractive, nurturing and educational. Our stores are community meeting places where people can join their friends and make new ones."
