      How to Answer

      In the banking industry, keeping customers happy is a team effort. Share that you work together as a team to keep customers calm.

      If lines are getting longer than you'd like, you can have someone mingle with customers in line, provide chit-chat to keep them happy, and they can check to see what services the customer is looking. Perhaps someone else in the branch can assist.
