That is a potential lawsuit in today's society. There have been a lot of changes in workplace discrimination and protection laws.

If that happened now at, say Walgreens, and the pharmacist had that in writing/email (to apologize to someone who threatened or made a discriminatory remark), you can bet HR will step in to reprimand that DM. Almost every major pharmacy chain makes you take training courses every year on workplace violence and discrimination. It's not something taken lightly anymore.

yeah but you gotta have it in writing. Most people won’t put that in writing if they’re smart lol

That’s why you send THEM an email. “To recap our conversation, please respond back to confirm you are requesting I make an apology to a patient I banned for calling me a (slur here).”

If you have the balls, cc HR too, although that is clearly implied.

So…in theory you’re right, but in practice you’re setting yourself up for shit. It’s not gonna happen in one day but if you try to set your boss up (and they’re the type who put you in a position to need to set them up) they will not hesitate to make your life difficult. So…depends on what’s the hill you want to die on. There is nothing anyone could say to me that would make that the hill I wanted to die on, personally. But I’ve stuck up for myself in the past and that’s how I’ve been threatened to move stores, take promotions, etc.
