What would you do
Soma sells intimate apparel, and some customers feel shy shopping for it. How would you make them comfortable?
What they are checking: Whether they can be warm and discreet with a personal purchase, which decides whether customers return to the store.
Soma is about comfort and confidence. How would you explain the difference between two similar items to a customer who can't decide?

When College Hills gets busy on a weekend, how do you keep your service personal for every customer?

How would you bring up our loyalty program with a customer so it doesn't feel like a sales pitch?

A customer loves an item but we're out of her size. How would you make that a seamless experience?
What they are checking: Whether they use omnichannel tools to finish the sale online or from another store instead of losing the customer.
About the work
A shipment is waiting in the back and the floor is getting thin. How do you decide what to replenish first?
