Teamwork
You work in a restaurant serving customers. It’s very busy and you are at the end of your shift. However, the person replacing you is running 30 minutes late. You would:
Leave anyway. It’s the end of your shift and you don’t think you should be expected to stay.
Make comment to the rest of the team that it’s annoying that the person is regularly late.
Ask the Manager if they would like you to stay and help until the employee arrives and work until the Manager asks you to leave.
Stay and work without speaking to the Manager and leave when you think it’s the right time to go home.
Which of the below options best describes the qualities of an effective team member:
A person who is reliable, friendly and shows commitment to the team.
A person who always arrives early and is funny and able to make the team laugh.
Someone who is sometimes late for meetings but tries to make up for it by making smart and informative comments at those meetings.
An unreliable person who is able to complete tasks extremely quickly.
Your boss has requested you participate in a team that is working making customer service improvements in the restaurant you work at. One of the other team members is constantly turning up late for meetings and not participating in discussions. You would:
Not say anything and pick up the slack for them to make sure the project is completed on time.
Not say anything, refer the matter to your boss and hopefully get them into trouble.
Speak to the team member privately to find out the reasons for their behaviour. Ask them if there’s anything you could do to help them with participating in meetings.
Ignore it and hope they improve.
You play in a soccer team and at a training session one of your team mates offers you some advice around your game. You know they are a better player than you but you wish they hadn’t approached you in front of others. You would:
Not take on their advice because they’re not the coach.
Make a joke about the person to your friends and try to embarrass the person.
Try to find something about your team mate’s game that you could pick them up on so you can get even.
Listen to your team mate’s advice – it’s always good to learn something new which can improve your game performance.
Customer Service
You’re working at the register of your local restaurant and a customer who you served earlier comes back to say they are missing $5 from their change. You think this is unusual as you’re very careful to issue the right change to customers. You would:
Explain to the customer that they’re wrong and that you gave them the correct change.
Wait until the next order goes through the register and give them $5 without further question.
Ask the customer to wait for a moment and inform your Manager that you’d like their assistance with helping a customer.
Let the customer know that given the order was a few hours ago, it’s no longer possible to help them out.
You’re working for a restaurant and your Manager sends you an email asking for some suggestions for a new uniform. You only work part-time and you’re usually very busy outside of work. You would:
Not make any suggestions as you’re already very busy outside of work.
Make some minor suggestions so that your Manager won’t complain that you haven’t responded.
Provide a detailed response that indicates you’ve thought about the question you were asked by your Manager.
Wait until you see what ideas other employees suggest, and then comment on their ideas.
You work in a cinema complex and you’re assisting in the snack bar area. A customer asks for a large soft drink but you’re out of large cups and only have small, medium or extra large. You would:
Don’t say anything. Give the customer a small and a medium coke and charge them for a large.
Apologise to the customer and explain why they can only purchase a small, medium or extra large soft drink.
Without asking the Manager, give the customer an extra large soft drink, but only charge them for a large size.
Apologise to the customer, and ask whether they mind that the drink will be served in an extra large cup.
You’re working in a kitchen and a customer places an order for a hamburger without onion. It’s a busy lunch period and you accidently send it out with onions and the customer complains and sends it back. You would:
Make the customer a new burger without onions and apologise for the inconvenience.
Scrape the onion off their original burger and send it back. Offer them a free drink for the inconvenience.
Accuse them of not ordering it without onions and tell them that they should scrape off the onions themselves.
Make them a new burger without onions, but not pay attention to quality presentation as they’re in a hurry.
Initiative
You’re working for a local hardware store and a customer has made a special order for a product. The customer has arranged to pick the product up next week but the stock arrives earlier than expected. You would:
Phone the customer and inform them that their item has arrived so that they can collect it early if they want to.
Do nothing for now, just put the stock in a special spot so that when the customer collects the product it will be easy to find.
Leave the arrangements as they are as it may cause you some inconvenience if the arrangements are changed.
Put the customer’s special order out on the floor with other stock that is available to customers.
You’re at work and you notice that there are some dirty dishes in the kitchen sink. You would:
Leave them there as you didn’t make the mess. Why should it be your responsibility to clean the dishes up?
Ask the office cleaner to clean them up, after all cleanliness is their job.
Put them in the dishwasher, making sure the workplace is clean is everyone’s responsibility.
Put them in the dishwasher and send an abrupt email to your team mates reminding them to make sure they clean up after themselves.
You’re working in a McDonald’s restaurant on a busy day. You’re going to the store room to collect some more gloves, but you notice there are several items (napkins, cups, lids etc.) that will also be needed shortly. You would:
Get the gloves as that is all you need for now and you need to get back to the kitchen.
Get the gloves as someone else can fetch the other items as they need them.
Collect the gloves and a few other items to restock. Let the Manager know that some more items will need to be collected from the store room.
Tell someone else to go and get the stock for you.
You’re working in the kitchen and you notice that your fryer is getting dirty. It’s not yet time for detail cleaning to occur, however the store is not very busy. You would:
Clean the fryer immediately without speaking to anyone.
Do nothing, it’s best not to change the routine, even if it’s for cleanliness reasons.
Ask your Manager’s permission to detail clean the fryer as you feel it’s your job to make sure that we keep the kitchen area clean and tidy at all times.
Ask another employee to clean the fryer while you take your break.

Get up and leave as you feel you’ve done the best you can.
Look over the questions you’ve answered and make sure you’re happy with your answers.
Try and look at the person next to you and see if they have the same answers.
Start thinking about your plans for the weekend.
You are working on the early morning breakfast shift and you wake up at 6.10am. You have to be at work by 6.30am and you luckily only live 5 minutes from work. You would:
Get ready quickly and do your best to make it to your shift on time.
Get ready at your normal pace and make it to your rostered shift 15 minutes late. It’s not too busy at that time of day anyway.
Call your Manager and advise them that you’ll be 15 minutes late so that you have time for your morning coffee.
Call your Manager and tell them you’re feeling sick and won’t be able to make it in today, you’ve been late too many times recently.
You’re working in a McDonald’s kitchen and you notice that another team member has been putting an excessive amount of ketchup on the burgers. You would:
Send the burgers out as they are, it’s just a bit more ketchup and shouldn’t affect the burger’s taste.
Coach the other team member about the correct amount of ketchup and double check that the burgers are then made correctly.
Say and do nothing as you’re worried that mentioning the problem to your team member may not be appreciated by them.
Yell at the person for putting too much ketchup on the burgers.
You’ve been asked by a friend to do their mail delivery on a Saturday morning and you have 200 fliers to deliver. You want to be able to finish work really fast so you can enjoy the rest of your weekend. It normally takes 4 hours and the start time is 8am. You would:
Place two fliers in each letterbox, that way they all still get delivered but in half the time.
Deliver half the fliers and throw out the rest and hope your friend doesn’t find out.
Tell the friend that you’d prefer not to help them.
Start on time and walk briskly between houses so that you can finish earlier than scheduled if possible.
