Your brief
You are working in the pharmacy and a customer, Phil, is unsure which over-the-counter product to choose for cough and congestion. He is worried about whether anything on the shelf is safe with his prescription medicines, and he is looking to you for guidance. Your goal in this conversation is to respond appropriately to his concern, gather the information needed to avoid unsafe advice, and make sure he is referred to the pharmacist when that is the right next step.
Why it's hard
Shelf questions feel simple until the customer says, “I take prescriptions.” Phil wants a quick answer in front of products that all seem close enough, but once interaction risk is on the table, guessing is the unsafe move. You have to slow things down without sounding like you’re brushing him off.
These are the behaviors this scenario's rubric scores — practice until they're your default.
