How should you handle a customer requesting to sample a product?

• A. Provide sample with hygiene and dispose after
• B. Provide sample without hygiene
• C. Refuse to provide any sample
• D. Check policy; if allowed, provide sample with hygiene, ensure utensils are clean, and dispose of sample after

Answer: (D)

When a customer asks to sample a product, follow the store’s policy and basic food-safety rules. Start by checking whether samples are allowed and under what conditions. If sampling is permitted, handle the sample with proper hygiene: use clean utensils, avoid direct hand contact, and dispose of the sample after it’s given. This approach protects customers from contamination, maintains sanitary standards, and aligns with the store’s guidelines while still offering helpful service. Providing a sample without hygiene creates contamination risks and can violate health practices. Refusing samples outright misses an opportunity to assist the customer when sampling is allowed, and skipping policy checks can lead to rule violations.
