confiscate.

children, spouses, dogs, etc.

question. An open-ended question is a question that cannot be answered with a Yes/No response
from the Associate. See example list at the end of these guidelines.
• Please ask different open-ended questions at each of your assigned locations. This will help
make each narrative about your experience unique and different.

knowledge questions are used to test the Associate's knowledge of the airport. Examples are:
"Where is the nearest restroom?" "Where can I exchange currency?"

possible. Please tell or describe every detail from the time you entered until the time you left the
location.

language and tone of voice. Did they make eye contact? Were they smiling? Did they have an
upbeat, friendly attitude?

information about your interaction. Important information to take down: Associate’s name and
description, greeting and parting remark by Associate, questions asked by you and the Associate,
and product details provided by Associate. The greeting and parting remark are required quotes

• We ask that our evaluators comment on every question in the narrative to help our clients address
areas of opportunity within their organizations, as well as reward meaningful customer
experiences. Our clients are coached to share the narrative before discussing the questions,
responses and scoring. If there are details missing in the narrative, it is not an effective training
tool.
• Please review your narrative before submitting to ensure you have addressed each question from
the form. This will prevent returned evaluations from the editors for missing information, and help
you receive higher scores on your evaluations.
• Each narrative must be a unique and individual experience describing the specific interaction(s) in
chronological order. Please do not use a template to write your narratives.
• It is suggested that you first write your narrative in a Word document then run spell and grammar
check prior to copying and pasting the narrative into your evaluation form.
• Quotes are required for the greeting and parting remarks offered by the Associate on each

• It is your responsibility to check your shop log, as well as your email account on a daily basis until

• Be detailed about the Associates' service behaviors. Let us know if they smiled, made eye
contact, had an upbeat attitude, etc.
• Regarding the question, "Which shift did you shop?" When conducting your evaluations on
Saturday or Sunday, please select 'Weekend' from the pull down. When shopping during the
week, please select either 'AM' or 'PM' from the pull down. Your assigned shift will be included in
the shop information in your log.
• Be politically correct. When referring to a store employee please refer to them as an Associate.
Please refrain from using the Associate's race or weight when describing them.
• Regarding the question, "Were you asked questions by the Associate to identify your needs prior
to you mentioning an item of interest?" please note if the Associate asked questions to identify
your needs. Examples are, "What can I get you?" "How can I help you?"
• Regarding the question, "Were you asked questions by the Associate to clarify your needs after
you mentioned your item of interest?" please note if the Associate asked questions to clarify your
needs. Clarifying questions help narrow down the options so the Associate can find an item that
meets your needs. Examples are, "What would you like on your sandwich?" "What size would
you like?" "What kind of bread would you like?"
• Regarding the question, "Did the Associate connect with you?" please base this answer on
whether or not the Associate engaged you in conversation, asked you questions, displayed
interest in you personally, etc.

Food
I arrived at Subway at 11:30 AM. I observed four Associates and six customers. When I approached
the counter, the Associate immediately greeted me with a friendly, "Hello, welcome to Subway. What
can I get you?" The Associate had a warm, caring smile on his face. He maintained eye contact with
me while we spoke.
Before placing my order, I asked the Associate, "What kind of cheese can I get on my sub?" The
Associate said, "We have American, Provolone and Swiss." I stated that I had hoped they had a
spicier cheese. The Associated suggested, "Perhaps you would like to put jalapenos on your sub, to
make it spicier." I said that was a great suggestion and placed my order. The Associated clarified my
needs by asking if I wanted my sub toasted. He also asked if I wanted any condiments such as
mayonnaise or mustard. The Associate listened attentively to my order as he repeated each item I
requested for my sub.
Once my sub had been put together, I proceeded to the register Associate. The Associate made eye
contact, but did not smile. She asked, "Would you like to make that a meal? You get chips and a
drink as well." I accepted her offer. She placed my sub in a bag, along with several napkins. She

placed an empty cup in front of me so that I could select and fill my drink at the self-serve fountain.
She also told me to select a bag of chips to complete my meal. She then stated my total in a
courteous, but not very friendly manner. Her voice was not upbeat and she did not present herself as
being interested in my needs. I gave her my debit card to process my transaction. She completed it
very quickly and returned my card to me, along with a receipt. I saw that everything had been
processed correctly. Approximately three minutes had passed since I initially placed my order. The
Associate did not thank me, but as I left she said in a monotone voice, "Have a good day." I asked
her if she could tell me where the nearest restroom was and she correctly pointed down the corridor.
The first Associate I interacted with had customers as his focal point. The second Associate seemed
to be going through the motions of her job; only interacting with customers as needed. The counters
and register area at this location were very clean. The floors around the area also appeared to be
well maintained. The sub I ordered was excellent. It was prepared exactly as I had requested.
