The question given below presents a situation and asks you to make a judgment regarding that particular circumstance. Choose an answer based on the given information. You are a Retail Assistant working in the Mumbai branch of FKC pens, a national stationer's chain. FKC pens has over 1000 stores, primarily in India, including 451 travel outlets at airports, train stations and motorway service areas and 627 high street stores. FKC pens sells a wide range of newspapers, magazines, books, stationery and impulse products; most branches are open 7 days a week between 8.30 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. As a retail assistant, you are responsible for providing exceptional customer service while demonstrating product knowledge to maximise sales. You work primarily in the book section of the Mumbai branch; however, all the branch staff work as a unified team and therefore you are often required to work in other sections throughout the store. It is a Tuesday morning and a colleague in the stationery section is away on sick leave. At 11 a. m. you are on your way to the staffroom to take a quick tea break when, passing through the stationery section, you notice that it is in a reasonable amount of disarray. Products have fallen on the floor and been left lying there, shelves are untidy and some products are on the wrong shelves.

  1. ((a))

    Inform the stationery team leader that there is a problem with the presentation of the section

  2. ((b))

    Take your tea break and then on the way back quickly tidy up a few bits and pieces if it's still in a state

  3. ((c))

    Go back to your section and ask your team leader whether you can be spared for 10 or 15 minutes to help out in stationery. If agreed, offer your help to the stationery team leader to quickly tidy up the area and take your tea break at 11.30 a.m.

  4. ((d))

    Do nothing. The stationery team leader probably has it all under control and will deal with it soon. It is understandable that there is a bit of a mess as someone is away and you don't want to insult the stationery team by mentioning anything
