The interviewer is looking for a specific answer that showcases your ability to deliver excellent customer service. Make your reply memorable! This question offers you an excellent opportunity to stand out. Here are two sample responses below:

1. “I often look for opportunities to go over and above when it comes to customer service. One memorable time was when a senior woman was struggling to get her groceries into her car. I was on break but saw her through the window. I ran out and greeted her, asking if I could assist. She was so thankful that she ended up calling my manager that day to compliment my kindness.”
2. “I had a customer come to me with 1 days’ notice that she needed a wedding cake. Her original baker did not provide her with the cake that she wanted and she was very panicked about it. We worked overtime and went far beyond the call of duty to ensure that her cake was perfect, and ready for her big day.”
