I'm with JJ on this one. Here's why...Originally posted by Juice Junkie
He could and did but the fact is every business has the right to refuse service and in this case did.
If it is a privately owned pharmacy, or it is a part of a chain that requires/allows the pharmacist to own the portion of the store's operations that pertain to pharmacy (such as in a supermarket), then the pharmacist can refuse customers.
However, if somone has medical complications because of the refusal, or has to go through extensive hardship because the place that refused the business is the only pharmacy in town, then a solid case could be brought against the pharmacy.
I believe in JJ's friend's case, the pharmacist is banking on the fact that no one will challenge the refusal.
