The Angry Customer

The Pharmacist and the Confused or Angry Customer

Have you had a memorable encounter (good or bad) with a customer who took his or her anger out on you related to (for example) frustrations with higher copays or because insurance raised the price of his medications or denied a drug?

Or have you struggled to explain complicated drug regimens to patients who may not comprehend?

In the next question, please tell us briefly about your experience with a challenging customer, and how (or whether) you were able to resolve the conflict? Thank you!


1.Have you had a challenging encounter with a confused or angry customer? What happened? How did you handle it?
2.Do you feel that you have been adequately trained to deal with "difficult" customers?
3.If you have answered yes to the previous questions, where did you get your training?
