Question 1
What would you do in a situation where a customer is unsatisfied with their items & comes to return them without the receipt, but they insist that they want to return it?
Firs step they will have a a face interview. My interview sucked, manager said it was pointless to ask all the questions lasted about Two minutes. He then told me I would have a phone interview with a store manager from another store... The second interview was amazing really nice. Asked me what my top three brands were my favorite that they sold. The final interview was with district manager. He was really cool seemed young. He asked me what experience I have and such.

Question 1
