Question: Have you ever regretted a purchase? Why?
Sample Answer (The AREA technique):
Answer: Yes, I have regretted a purchase before, because I realized that it was unnecessary or not worth the cost.
Reason: The reason why people may regret purchases is because they may have made impulsive or emotional decisions, or may have overlooked important information or alternatives.
Example: For instance, I once bought an expensive piece of clothing that I thought looked stylish and high-quality, but later realized that I could have found a similar item for much less, or that I didn't actually need it.
Alternative: Alternatively, people may regret purchases because they discover defects or problems with the product, or because their expectations were not met.
