Was it a rhetorical question?
Did it (the question) have to do with appearance? Age? Size? Mental acuity? Mental health? STDs? Pregnancy?
Was it at all related to how one might contract a particular disease/condition? |

Was the question ambiguous? |

Did she want to lose her job for some reason? Did the customer want her to lose her job prior to asking the question, and try to 'catch her out'?
Did they already know each other? |

The woman was supposed to answer that the weighing scales measured "accurately" but the truth was that they were inaccurate. By answering that they measured "inaccurately" she was being accurate but disobeying her bosses instructions to respond that they weighed "accurately" if asked. She could have lost her job because of this? |

Did the customer expect a different answer? Was there some component to the answer which offended the customer due to a particular set of morals/cultural beliefs? Did the customer believe it was directed at him/her? Or was it more seomthing sounding like an offensive phrase (e. g. four-letter-word-type stuff)?
Was the (seemingly) offensive part of the answer a name? If so, the name of a product? A condition? Was it truly offensive? Would I be likely to find it offensive? |

Was the information in her answer offensive of itself? Or was the problem with the actual words used? Could the same information have been conveyed in another way without causing offense?
Was the question related to Phil's professional role as pharmacist?
Had anyone else asked her the same question before?
If so, did she reply in the same way? |

A morally very offensive answer, related professionally, not taken to be personal, that was foreseen to possibly get her fired, and totally avoidable?
Was it prescription related? Drug related?
To do with religion? To do with dosage?
Was the answer concerning anything personal of the client? |

If the customer expected a different answer, did he ask the question in order to have his point of view confirmed?
Was Phil's answer helpful to the customer at all?
Did it contain the information the customer needed?
Was it a yes/no question? if not, was the question word "how"? "what"? "why"? "who"? "when"? "where"?
Did Phil understand already before answering that her answer would be offensive to the customer?
Did Phil know the customer? Was the customer there before?
Is the customer adult? male? relevant? |

Actually, I loved that expression in that context. 
Did she use the "correct" term for the body part? Or a more, er, colloquial term?
Body part in question: derier...dreri...backside? Genitals? Breasts? Ears? Nose? Mouth? Eyes? Limbs? Torso? Head? |

She used the word for donkey?
Something like an enema? A test kit/sample kit?
Something like "You stick it up your a** and squeeze."? |

When someone called the phaermacy & asked Philomena how to use a rectal thermomerter, well, let's just say she gave an accurate but very colloquial answer
