The interviewer asks this question to understand your conflict resolution, communication, and problem-solving skills. Working in a retail and customer service position requires handling angry customers calmly and professionally. The interviewer wants to see that you have these skills and will be an asset to the team if hired.

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 slogan, you must remain professional and be a good image for the company when working with the public. To be considered for the Walgreens Internship, avoid saying you get angry or hostile with a customer when they are angry with you.

"I have handled angry customers by remaining calm, listening to their complaints, and finding a resolution to the problem. I have found that most often, there is a communication issue that can be resolved with patience, listening, and problem-solving. If I cannot make the customer happy, I involve my manager. That has only happened once, and even my manager could not please the customer."
