      The fun thing about retail is that not all “customers” are paying.

      As well, paying doesn’t give customers a right to a retail employee’s time. And not every retail employee’s job is to help customers.

      So yeah, customers can be a distraction.

        99% of retail is literally mindless busy work, so distractions are always welcome. The literal one exception is inventory week.

          I dunno, for the last 15 or so years in my part, it’s seemingly been industry standard to run on a skeleton staff.
