The retail pharmacy setting can bring tired, worn out, sick, and sometimes angry customers, and this is especially true at a large pharmacy like CVS Pharmacy. If they are seriously considering you to join as their next Pharmacist, your interviewer wants to know that you will be able to handle the toughest of customers that come through the pharmacy door.

"I know that customers are just people like the rest of us; sometimes we all have bad days! If a customer was upset, I would ensure that they felt heard and understood, and then I would let them know that I would do everything I could to address their concerns. In my current role, I have had to work with patients who are in pain and short on patience. I always reassuringly talk to them and let them know that I am working with them as quickly as I can."

In retail, it's important to maintain a cheerful, calm demeanor, even when dealing with angry or frustrated customers. Describe your experience dealing with unruly customers, or talk about how you imagine you would deal with a negative customer experience. Any experiences you can speak about will go a long way in proving to your interviewer that you can handle any customer situation as a Pharmacist at CVS Pharmacy.
