Take a few minutes to reflect on past and present customer interactions. How do you define
your responsibility as a pharmacist to your customers/patients?
In doing so, I will treat patients and customers with dignity, empathy and respect.
It’s up to the customer to give us everything in one’s power to efficiently and accurately
serve them.
Perhaps I can say that there are different types of customer but every time I
encounter a customer, what I usually observe from them is that they feel that they have
the authority to follow them. They feel like they are always right and confident.
Sometimes it’s the other way around, they feel like they need the guidance of a sales
person or an assistant.
Obviously, they do have different needs when visiting a merchandise or a store but
normally they expect a good customer service from that particular store. Apart from it,
they want good quality products.
Well, there are lots to offer but as a future pharmacist, perhaps one thing I can offer
is a good customer service. One way to show them a good service from me is I will
make them feel important and appreciated. I also would like to solve their problems
promptly. Whatever happens, I will always look for ways to help patients and
customers.
As a future pharmacist, one thing that I can do to add value to my customers is that
I will build relationship to my customers, I will treat them as if they are my family.
Moreover, correcting mistakes from them would be a good way to value them because
they will really feel that they are given importance.

Questions:
Perhaps, adaptability is one way for to improve a customer service. Every customer is
different, and some may even seem to change week-to-week. I should be able to handle surprises,
sense the customer’s mood and adapt accordingly. This also includes a willingness to learn,
providing good customer service is a continuous learning process.
Handling a difficult customer is a challenge for pharmacists, but I think no matter how
serious the problem is we, the pharmacists, must stay calm. Be the calm one in a crisis. You may
experience situations where customers become a little stressed. But you are in charge really to set
the tone if a problem has to be escalated. Emotion does have a place in many business situations,
but when tensions are already high, if you can maintain composure, it’s much more likely that the
customer will end up feeling positive about the situation.
