Focus on giving an example from your past where you have successfully dealt with an angry customer. If you have not worked in a retail or customer service role, explain that to the interviewer and describe how you have handled a disagreement with a coworker or classmate.

Most businesses have the motto 'the customer is always right.' Even if you disagree with the motto, you must remain professional and be a good image for the company when working with the public. To be considered for the CVS Pharmacy Internship, avoid saying you get angry or hostile with a customer when they are angry with you.

"I have had angry customers in the past, and I find that actively listening to their complaints, reiterating what they are saying, and finding a resolution to their problem works every time. When a customer is angry, it is usually because they feel disrespected somehow. When I am patient and listen to what they are angry about and find a solution, they leave happy and feel like they were listened to."
