No, they just wanted to see your professionalism and code of ethics.
If you said you would take personal responsibility in ensuring integrity of stock at that exact store, and then followed up with an actual example [instead of just a yes or no answer] then they would have believed you if you said "yes".
They're not stupid either. They're not going to waste their time interviewing people only to toss them out on a lose-lose question.
(Wait a second, aren't you in HR anyways? Why am I telling you this?)
