An example of when I used my problem solving skills when working in a supermarket ?

We don't know what you experienced.  Some things that might occur:

*  Technical issues at a register

*  Irate customer

*  Wrong items ring up

*  Wrong shipment comes in

*  Someone else overstocked (understocked) items

*  Personnel issues (as a manager mainly)

I'd have concerns that you had a problem figuring out this question about problem solving skills.

Think of one that you did.

All they're asking us for an example of a problem that came up in grocery store and u had to use what u know to solve the problem. Example: customers buys a gallon of milk it rings up for $3.89 a gallon. But customers states that's not right item has a yellow sticker below milk saying it's on sale for $3.50 a gallon. To solve the problem u have the bagger to go check and the milk actually is on sale. So u honor sale price of milk

Tell them you would ask on YA for solutions. You know, the truth.
