QUESTION 15 OF 25

Would you give someone you know a free coffee?

"Giving away product, no matter how inexpensive, is still stealing. If I wanted to treat my friend to something, I would do so as a paying customer, when I was not on shift. You can rest assured that I am honest and ethical. My references will attest to this as well."

You understand that ethics are fundamental in a place of business, and the interviewer wants to hear that you will appropriately charge each customer for their order. The response to this question should always be no, you would never give away free product, even if it were a simple cup of coffee.

"My friends know my job is more important than free coffee. If a friend asked me to do something that selfish for them, I wouldn't even be their friend. I have strong ethics, and you can fully trust me to be responsible and honest."
