Answer Example
"I like pooling tips with my coworkers because it increases teamwork and improves customer satisfaction. While at my current company, they changed the process and have all front-of-the-house pool tips. At first, I wasn't keen on the idea but realized that the staff no longer cared about whose table guests were sitting at and took more ownership to provide a better customer experience."
