The pharmacy manager agreed to accommodate Bob by relieving him of the duty of filling birth control prescriptions and taking orders for birth control drugs from customers or physicians.

He refused to transfer phone calls from patients seeking contraception, leaving them on hold indefinitely, and he walked away from people who asked for birth control drugs at the pharmacy counter without notifying other staff that those customers needed assistance.
