What is the best course of action when a customer asks you where the fitting rooms are located while you are replenishing stock?

• A. Stop what you are doing and lead the customer to the fitting room
• B. Direct the customer to the fitting room after you finish replenishment
• C. Tell the customer to wait in line at the fitting room
• D. Suggest the customer search for the fitting rooms themselves

Answer: (A)

Providing prompt, proactive customer service is the idea being tested. When a customer asks where the fitting rooms are while you’re replenishing stock, the best course is to stop your task momentarily and guide them directly to the fitting rooms or clearly point them in the right direction, offering to accompany them if needed. This demonstrates attentiveness, reduces confusion, and shows the store’s commitment to helping customers quickly. Delaying assistance until after replenishment can leave the customer frustrated, while asking them to wait in line or to search themselves comes off as unhelpful and diminishes their experience. Acknowledge the request and provide immediate, clear directions to the fitting rooms.
